The OSCAR Difference

At OSCAR, we take a tailored, strategic approach to every event, ensuring your tradeshow becomes a powerful opportunity for business growth.

So, what makes us different? Glad you asked:

  • Process-Driven Precision: We follow a proven framework – Objective > Strategy > Creative > Action > Results – that aligns every step with your business goals and delivers measurable outcomes.
  • Customised Expertise: Cookie-cutter solutions? Not here. Every strategy, design and execution plan is built just for you because no two events (or clients) are alike.
  • More Than the Build: Sure, we love a jaw-dropping stand, but we’re not just about fancy designs. Every detail we create works hard to deliver real results, not just compliments.
  • Australia’s Only B2B Specialists: We’re one of a kind. As the only B2B tradeshow specialists in the country, we bring world-class expertise and a client-first approach to every project.

With OSCAR, you get more than an event partner – you gain a trusted advisor, a creative collaborator and a team that’s just as invested in your success as you are.

Meet Jess, The Original Tradeshow Strategist

Jess Turnbull is the driving force behind OSCAR.

Jess didn’t stumble into tradeshows – she practically grew up in them. With a stepdad who owned a stand-building company, it was only natural she’d want in on the action. But instead of rolling out the welcome mat, he shipped her off to the USA and Europe to learn how the big players did it! The result? Mind. Blown.

Over there, every detail is measured, every strategy is razor-sharp and the stakes are high. Jess saw what tradeshows could be, and she came back determined to shake things up in Australia. After 12 years in the industry, Jess has become Australia’s first dedicated tradeshow strategist (yep, she’s a trailblazer), bringing global-level tactics and fresh ideas to Aussie businesses.

Jess isn’t your typical consultant – she’s clever, funny and maybe just a *little* obsessed with productivity hacks. She leads with purpose, passion and a pinch of quirkiness, and makes the journey as enjoyable as the destination.

With Jess and OSCAR by your side, you won’t just survive the tradeshow circuit – you’ll own it.

Trade shows are a huge expense for us and have been under scrutiny from management to show their value. We worked with Jess to develop systems to achieve this and achieved 308% more warm/hot leads than we hoped for. Overall, we are very happy with the deeper clarity around our attendance and look forward to continuing our new measurement standards with OSCAR at future events.
Ellie Cocks, Events and Marketing Specialist, Sandvik Group
We had some push back initially from our own team on the strategic direction proposed, but after the 1st hour on the floor they had bought into the plan. Our stand worked exceptionally well! Last year we only got 15 leads. Following your exhibit strategy and advice this year we walked away with 88 high quality leads. We couldn’t be happier!
Cailean Maclellan, Managing Director, Saltire Infrastructure
Our stand was used at eight exhibitions over three years, with a visual refresh halfway through. We have been very happy with it, not just visually, but practically serving our needs from meeting senior stakeholders to showcasing our capabilities. It stood out prominently amongst our competitors.
Stephen Browning, Corporate Affairs Director, Leidos
Our first conference using them generated over 300% more leads than any other event we have done – I’m not saying this is solely contributable to the booth… but the correlation is pretty strong!
Jason Dickman, Marketing Manager, Beckman Coulter
We worked with Jess on an Exhibition Playbook for Evoke Projects and she absolutely nailed it. The plan and strategy were clear and precise and linked with our industry perfectly. We were able to implement it immediately at the Vet Expo 2023. We'll also be able to adapt it to any further expo's. The best part was we returned back with high quality leads that made our whole experience worthwhile.
Eliza Shedden, Events & Marketing Coordinator, Evoke Projects
Having worked with a variety of trade show companies over the years, there's no doubt that for both strategy and execution they are leaders in their field. Jess and Chris are at the top of their profession in Australia and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting to achieve superior (measurable!) outcomes from an exhibition.
Grant Behrendorff , Managing Director, AC Solar Warehouse
Working with Jess and Chris is an absolute pleasure and the efficiency they bring to the projects pushes us to be a better company. Highly recommended. The BEST team in the business. If you are looking for someone who is passionate, organised and have the best attitude to work with, these guys should be your choice. We just keep going back to them!
