JHM isn’t really the new kid on the block, our team are industry ‘veterans’ who have been working in the event and marketing space for the past twenty years. Our reputation has afforded us a constant stream of work just through word of mouth – but now we’re ready to grow and share our skills outside of our network!
We’re based in Western Australia, but have worked on national events and projects such as the Commonwealth Games (both Melbourne and Gold Coast), Motorsport Australia (CAMS) Rally Championship, World Swimming Championship, and the Australasian Safari. We have a small team of specialist staff who are always open to seeking a fresh perspective and curious about developments in our industry.
We are excited to be the people behind JFOM.
