World Hockey Championships Campaign

Evidence basisNamed CEO response

The ask

KB Bank wanted to spark customer enthusiasm in the run-up to the World Hockey Championships hosted in Prague.

What Cameron did

Performed across a multi-channel campaign — media promotions, commercials, video shoots, speaking events, in-arena cheer activations, and social media moments. Cameron showed up wherever fans and customers were.

Evidence & outcome

The campaign ran across television, social, speaking, and in-arena touchpoints during a tournament that ended with Czech gold. Jan Juchelka’s response documents the client impact.

Evidence basis: named client response

“Many thanks for your engagement in Czechia and with KB. You made a lot of fuss around this beautiful game, drove a few guys crazy here, and came and cheered our team at KB, too. But most importantly, you opened our hearts.”

Multiple Galas, Including the Sydney Opera House Anniversary

Evidence basisRepeat engagement record

The ask

The galas needed the room warm and loud before the headline comics walked out — a hot opener that didn’t feel like an opener.

What Cameron did

Started seated in the audience as a planted attendee, then surprised the crowd with dancing and t-shirt performances, engaging attendees before kicking off each show on stage.

Evidence & outcome

Repeat engagements in Montreal and Sydney — including the Sydney Opera House 10th-anniversary night — put Cameron in the room before the headline acts, with the crowd already participating.

580-Attendee Closing Keynote After a 3-Day Conference

Evidence basisAttendance count and session brief

The ask

A three-day educational conference needed a closing speaker to reignite attendee energy and reinforce learning before everyone went home.

What Cameron did

Entered from the back of the room, engaged 580 attendees with dancing, interactive questions, and an epic dance contest. Closed with a reflective question about personal aspirations.

Evidence & outcome

After three days of sessions, 580 attendees moved from a full-room dance contest into a reflective close on what they wanted next.

CH Indeed · US Open Dance-Off Required shot · Cameron with the participating team
Indeed Multiple Office Celebrations

Multi-Office Energy Activations

The ask

Indeed wanted its sales floors — New York HQ and beyond — out of their chairs and celebrating each other, not sitting through another all-hands deck.

What Cameron did

Hosted dance parties, Q&A sessions, team challenges, and a now-legendary dance-off for US Open tickets at the New York office.

In the room

The New York activation turned a US Open ticket giveaway into a participatory team moment, with the floor competing in front of each other instead of watching a presentation.

When the close needs a reset.

After a three-day on-site sales event, Cameron shifted a routine numbers wrap into a participatory close. The team ended the engagement on its feet, with the final session feeling like a shared experience instead of another presentation.
