James Haskell’s Meet & Greet for Harvey Water Softeners
The Brief
An employee of Harvey Water Softeners placed a request on the Pickstar platform in search of a guest speaker for their corporate function for long term clients. The brief outlined that the star needed to be capable of sharing a heartwarming and inspirational presentation that would generate positive energy for the event.
Solution
As the request was submitted on Pickstar, this meant 2000+ stars on the platform could apply for the opportunity. Within a couple of days, the employee at Harvey Water Softeners received several applications from well-known professional athletes.
Excited with the choices, the employee looked into each individual star’s bio to learn more about their story and to see if they would be a suitable fit for their target audience. They did this by logging into their Pickstar account and accessing the talent manager dashboard.
This resulted in a booking for Professional Rugby Union Athlete; James Haskell.
Outcome
After the Harvey Water Softeners employee paid for the booking (via an automatically generated invoice via the platform), a chat function opened allowing her to message James Haskell to confirm any details regarding the event. In the run up to the day, James received regular reminders about the booking through Pickstar’s mobile app, this ensured he was fully informed and prepared ahead of the engagement.
On the night, James successfully delivered a 30-minute keynote speech about his inspiring journey, followed by a 15 minute Q&A session which allowed guests to discover more intricate details about his sporting career. The audience was treated to many laughs and were lucky enough to experience a one-to-one chat with the sporting legend at the end of his talk.
The company was super impressed by James’s competence and enthusiasm of the night and as such, they submitted a raving review:
“The event went amazingly well, and James was brilliant. Honestly, I think it was the best choice we could have had. Pickstar was great too, really easy to use and nothing went wrong. I’m thrilled with Pickstar and I would 100% use the platform again if I needed someone. Thank you so much Molly (Client Solutions Manager) for all your help too. The event couldn’t have gone better. Thank you”
