Cosmetic giant books weatherman superstar for team event copy

The Brief

A very well-known cosmetic brand submitted a request on Pickstar for a motivational speaker. They were looking for a 'fun, engaging and powerful' individual who could inspire their team via a virtual call. They specified it would be a 30-minute session over Zoom and that they wanted someone who could deliver a motivational session without slides, to ensure the event was fully engaging with their team.

    Solution

    Pickstar matched the cosmetic giant with the one and only superstar weatherman Owain Wyn Evans.

    Owain is best known for his BBC weather reports, as he has enjoyed working for the broadcast company for the last 15 years.

    Also a semi-professional drummer, Owain has a love of all things musical and became globally known to audiences around the world in 2020 after energetically drumming along to the BBC News theme. Within weeks the clip had amassed over 5 million views worldwide.

    Now a viral sensation, Owain is renowned for his positive energy and creativity, which had sparked the cosmetic team's interest.

    This ultimately led to make-up brand booking Owain for their virtual team event.

      Outcome

      Owain delivered an inspiring talk about his own career journey and gave his top tips on staying creative in a competitive industry that is forever changing. The session was fully interactive, with plenty of Q&A with the virtual audience. A great success!
