Maz Farrelly

Maz has been in your home.

Not as a burglar.

As the creative force behind some of the biggest television shows on earth — Big Brother, The X Factor, The Celebrity Apprentice, Dancing with the Stars, The Weakest Link and Q&A.

Maz has spent more than 30 years creating the kind of shows people didn’t just watch. They talked about them. Argued about them. Voted, cried, auditioned, copied the catchphrases, filled the tabloids and came back the next week for more.

Maz has been the creative force behind cultural phenomena: leading huge teams, managing multi-million-dollar budgets, making high-pressure decisions, shaping talent, driving audiences, protecting brands and turning ordinary people, ideas and moments into things the public actually cared about.

She has worked with the kind of people who come with security, tinted windows, entourages, riders, NDAs and large people in black with headsets: King Charles, President Trump, Beyoncé, Pink, Usher, Richard Branson and Mel B.

That matters, because when you have spent your career working with world leaders, global artists, billionaires, broadcasters, business icons and household names, you know how to manage pressure, presence, messaging, reputation and rooms where every decision counts.

Her work has generated more than eight billion views and earned BAFTAs, Logies, ASTRAs, National Television Awards and a Bronze Rose de Montreux. She has built global audiences, shaped culture and once broke Twitter.

Deliberately.

Today, as an international keynote speaker, business strategist, trainer and MC, Maz brings that same rare producer brain, commercial instinct and cultural radar to boardrooms and leadership teams around the world.

Maz knows how to make people care at scale — and she shows businesses how to do the same.

She helps leaders, teams and brands communicate with clarity, confidence and authority; tell stories people remember; build influence before the pitch, meeting or moment begins; and turn expertise into commercial impact.

Her sessions are not a pleasant keynote, a water bottle and a branded notebook situation — they are funny, sharp, fast and practical, with tools audiences can use immediately to make ideas land, messages travel and rooms come alive.

Mark Bouris says, “Maz is a genius with people.” Mel B says she has “The X Factor.”

Audiences have called Maz “speaking royalty” and “the best speaker we have ever heard.”

So, if you want your business to have The X Factor – to be noticed, trusted, remembered, talked about, chosen and bought, Maz can create that.

She made the show & won a Logie for it.

Maz works with leadership teams, sales teams, global businesses, founders, governments and audiences from every corner of the world.  She deliver keynotes, workshops, away days and business development training, and she MC’s entire conferences and award ceremonies.  The topic, format and length are built around your audience and the result you need.
