Rod Marrison

General Manager

Favourite gig:
Any event with a live band

As an Audio/Electronic Engineer with more than 30 years in the business and the past 20 years dedicated to the AV industry, there aren’t too many event styles that Rod hasn’t technically produced, operated or both.

From multi-site broadcasts for major corporate brands, concerts in the round to world-famous fashion events. Rod‘s pride and passion for integrating audio and vision systems into one coherent design is both evident in his management style and his team.

Since 2005 with the launch of Austage Events Melbourne, Rod has been instrumental in the growth of the company. As General Manager, he believes wholeheartedly in creating beautiful events and rallies his team with this one belief.

Outside of work, Rod enjoys time with his family and friends, home renovating and still loves mixing bands.

Matt Wilson

Senior Production Manager

Favourite gig:
A Product Launch on Cocktail Island

As a bright eyed 15 year old, Matt did the lights for his first school play…and from there, he’s never looked back.

Now with a respectable audio visual career spanning two decades, Matt has worked on everything from annual general meetings, car launches to international sporting events and all things in between. 

Combining his vast knowledge and experience in production with a cool and calm demeanour, Matt is a master at delivering an amazing event every single time. Because of this, he is one of our clients’ favourites!

When Matt isn’t working you can find him watching his beloved Richmond Tigers play, spending time with his family or trying to squeeze in a run.
