Time to toot your horn a little louder?

Many organisations need to give their marketing some testosterone. Hootville can help – not with hormones but training. We train around the country: media, social media, eMarketing, copywriting, marketing and communications. We also regularly advise on campaigns. Our input gets you on track to achieve more, more quickly. Visit our training page or just call us: 03 9017 1062.
Recent event bore you silly? That is not OK and not necessary.

Too many events take their audiences for granted. As emcee, Brett de Hoedt doesn’t. He keeps audiences entertained and speakers on their toes. That’s why most of his emcee work will be repeat business. He ages like a fine wine. By which we mean he improves with age, not that he spends his days in a darkened cellar. Anyhoo, how often do you read reviews like these. Or these. Or these. Now call us: 03 9017 1062.

Hootville Communications is a PR and communications agency offering media, marketing and communications training, website / social media development, campaign planning and event emcee services. Brett de Hoedt founded Hootville in 1999 with no business plan beyond straightforward world domination and the motto: Communications for good not evil. Both the motto and the plan remain in tact today.

Hootville has worked on issues including mental illness, youth homelessness, legalisation of euthanasia, child sponsorship, conservation, hepatitis prevention, disability employment and Indigenous reconciliation – all of which are preferable to promoting perfumes and sports drinks.
