Meet the team: Josh Hauville
Our Melbourne lifestyle account executive practises what he preaches, making the most of the city’s best venues and events
Josh, what do you do all day at Time Out?
I am the Melbourne lifestyle account executive, meaning I handle the commercial space for all things food, drink, arts and everything in between. I manage existing relationships with our clients and reach out in the market to establish contact with new connections running the coolest events and venues our city has to offer.
How do you like to spend your time in Melbourne?
I love walking or cycling (love a bike-friendly city!) to new parts of town just to mosey into an unassuming café or funky shop that knocks your socks off. Melbourne is jam packed with amazing venues that cater to a whole spectrum of interests. It’s a great city for an adventurous spirit and a curious mind.
What made you join Time Out?
I love exploring the best, brightest and boldest places in my city and absolutely love the chance to integrate that with my work. Time Out is such a globally recognisable brand and I love the expertise that this brings.
Do you have any travel plans on the cards? Where would you like to go?
After many international journeys, this year I am focusing on exploring the beauty of our own backyard. First stop? I am jetting across Bass Strait to pay my very first visit to Tassie. Over the June long weekend, I will be immersing myself in the darker side of Hobart as Dark Mofo takes over the city in all its alternative artistic glory.
What makes great Time Out content?
All Time Out content is superb! The key that makes it so fantastic is the passion behind every member of our team. We are a lively, social and connected bunch always giving the Time Out flair to every piece of work we create.
Best tip for clients?
Don’t be a stranger (electronically, or in-person). We love to maintain contact with clients for all their successes and exciting new ventures. We take a holistic approach to providing media solutions and are always happy to see how we can best help.
Got any plans this weekend?
I have plans aplenty, including rooftop drinks for a friend’s birthday, shimmying down to a new bar opening, and getting out for a giggle at some stand-up comedy. There’s never a dull moment in Australia’s cultural capital!
