Lord Jason Scott

Lord Jason Scott is an international events consultant and A-list specialist, currently based at the newly revamped The Penthouse in Leicester Square. Jason, whose first contact with celebs was guarding Kylie Minogue’s petite gold hot- pants, was recently named one of the top people under 40 working in the industry. He is one of the most demanded consultants in London and currently undergoing an ambitious global expansion. Jason’s adventure in events in London started with the Novus Group in 2006, following a career as a radio DJ and writer in his native South Africa. Based in the group’s flagship, Ruby Blue, Jason soon earned a name in the fierce Leicester Square market, and returned the category of top hub to the ailing club, raising celebrity attendance by more than a third and securing the parties of top film premieres, including Avatar, Sex and the City and Mamma Mia. Terminally addicted to the Leicester Square vibe, he founded his own events consultancy company, Corporate Events Management, and based himself at The Penthouse –formerly known as Vertigo- in 2008. A portfolio of work with top brands including Red Nose Day, Universal, Warner Brothers, Sony and Virgin and celebrities ranging from Cheryl Cole to Tom Cruise coupled with one of the highest rates of returning clients in the London scene, has granted Jason a place in the speed dial of the great and good. Outside of work, Jason also speaks at several conferences a year and blog about events in the UK and USA and writes for one of the biggest fashion blogs on the planet with a readership of 18 million unique visitors a month.

If your happy and you know it…

Are you happy at your job? Does it really matter? After all, your employer gives you a salary, sometimes small, sometimes enough to go out once a month and buy a kebab after, and a place to go between 9 and 5 or like me 10 – when the sun comes up. If it wasn’t for your job, you’d be sitting at home all day, throwing back Red Bulls and watching “Big Fat something or other.” You’d never have the luxurious lifestyle you have today, not to mention all the excitement and the glamour your event job provides.

2012 the year for resolution or resolutions…..

You should be ashamed of yourself. 2012 is already here, and you still haven’t made your New Year’s resolutions. Obviously, you need to hurry. How can you break a passel of resolutions if you’ve never make any in the first place?

LinkedIn or LockedOut? Confused ?!?

Come a little closer.

I have a confession to make. At my age, in this age, you can’t admit that there is any aspect of technology you don’t understand or embrace. Not if you want to avoid becoming a permanent exhibit in the British Museum of the Terminally Unemployed or worse labeled “ Old fogey” .

So, here’s my confession — I don’t think I completely understand Linked-In. Read more »

I am sure, like me, you have a wonderful new student working beside you questioning every move you make. ‘Tis the season for work placement and time for questions like, “how do you prioritize all your work and best utilize your time?”

It isn’t easy to preach the virtues of effective time management to someone who chooses to waste their time learning at my feet or to someone like you who reads my blogs.

Confused about your career ? Maybe its time to listen to a career whisperer

By , Tuesday, 10 May 2011, 4:27 pm Be the first to comment

A little self-knowledge can be a dangerous thing, especially if the self who is getting the knowledge is y-o-u.

Let’s face facts. With your fragile grip on employment, relationships and reality in general, it might be better to stay in the dark. Unless, of course, you really do want to know who you were meant to be and what you were meant to do. If that is the case, then you probably need a career whisperer. Read more »

Perks,a nostalgic look back. The Good Times!

Brush the cobwebs from that ergonomic office chair, yout’, and let an old man tell you about the good old days, when the economy was BOOMING, companies were gagging for someone like you, and interest-only, sub-prime mortgages seemed like a really good idea.

Yup, I’m talking way back in 2000. Read more »
