Video Shout-Out from Andrew "Cosi" Costello

Steering South Australia’s biggest TV Show, co-hosting the SAFM breakfast radio show, running a Cambodian charity and chatting to 400,000 social media followers is all in a day’s work for Cosi!

Cosi is a proud born and bred South Australian - he grew up on the Yorke Peninsula and studied Agriculture at Roseworthy College. He’s a country lad, who, after winning a radio competition on a local radio station and winning the hearts of the state, has became a household name.

Cosi currently heads up “South Aussie with Cosi” which is SA’s biggest locally produced TV show (now in it’s 9th Season!), airing on Sundays at 5.30pm on Channel 9 and weekdays you can hear him on the radio hosting the breakfast show on 107.1 SAFM with Rebecca Morse and Lehmo. He is now a mainstay in media with over 20 years experience, making a name for himself on both SAFM and Triple M hosting their Breakfast Shows with the likes of John Blackman, James Brayshaw and Marty Sheargold.

By utilising his TV viewers, radio listeners and almost 400,000 Facebook friends, he has a significant voice amongst South Australians and in particular his online community are extremely engaged and passionate! Cosi has one of the state’s biggest social media followings and in addition his engagement and interaction rates are some of the highest in South Australia! His online expertise and huge following have been used by many businesses (such as OTR, Disney, Subway, Toyota) to strengthen their branding with incredible results.

He also regularly gives up his time for those doing it tough, by championing community groups who may be less fortunate. He’s organised events such as a camping trips for single mums and their kids, annual birthday parties for 100 children who miss out on celebrations through social isolation or illness and movie screenings for children with disabilities and their families.

Not limiting himself to helping people locally he also founded his own charity called Cows for Cambodia in 2013, helping hundreds of families break the poverty cycle in one of the world’s most impoverished countries.

In 2018 he was extremely humbled to be nominated and then go on to win the “South Australian Local Hero Award.” This also meant he was a finalist for the "Australian of The Year” where he travelled to Canberra for the awards and was honoured for his achievements in charity and tourism by then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. 

Cosi is also a dedicated family man, and loves his beautiful wife Sam and their three children who provide him with endless amounts of entertainment, on and off air! 

The passion that Cosi has for life and his positivity is infectious to all those he is around! 

Cosi is the perfect fit for any business looking for a high profile ambassador, MC or host.
