Showreel

100 seconds
stagetime.

Arenas, studios, ballrooms. And moments when the entire audience comes along at once. Nothing less is the goal of a show hosted by Florian Rudig.

Creating moments that last: stadium hosting at the Beach Volleyball World Championships.

The how matters

The red carpet belongs to others.

The stage, the guests and the audience take centre stage. Florian Rudig makes sure they shine. The goal of every show: goosebumps. An event becomes an experience.

  1. Preparation down to the detail

    Topic, guests, dramaturgy, moods, running order. Florian Rudig never goes on stage unprepared, even when it looks spontaneous. What matters are answers to the question of what it takes for the performance to reach its full impact.

  2. Emotion meets information

    Hardly a sentence without a clear purpose. The right information creates understanding. Real emotion creates excitement. Together, they stick.

  3. Focus when it gets tight

    Technology fails, the schedule slips, a guest is missing: in stressful and critical moments, spontaneity is the biggest trump card. This is where a host’s decisive impact begins.

  4. Teamwork with every crew

    At international shows and major events, the best in their field often work together in large teams. Where budget or size set different conditions, the better idea decides how to still create staging of real dramatic value. Florian Rudig knows both worlds and brings key people from his network on request.

Goosebumps
never lie.

Fields of work

From the gala to the arena.

A thousand guests in a ballroom, ten thousand fans in a stadium or a single camera in a studio: the format changes, the standard does not.

Services

Seconds decide whether the spark jumps.

More than 25 years of delivering live on cue have shown one thing: the moment an audience comes along can be prepared. Florian Rudig works for exactly these moments, from the first idea to the final applause.

Idea

Every production starts with the better idea. What should the audience feel, know and take home?

Concept

The common thread, in content and technology. Running order, roles, transitions and the necessary sensitivity for delicate topics.

Dramaturgy

Suspense, timing, magic moments. How does the story build up, when comes the silence, where the drop, when the highlight?

Technology

A powerful sound system, effect lighting, video projection, special effects. With a reliable network. And one contact person.

Stagetime

Live hosting that carries people along. On stage, in the studio or on TV. As host, commentator or podcast host.

Highlights

Stages you never forget.

All from one source

Right inside the production team.

It all started with staging their own events. Then came major international events such as Olympic Games, World and European Championships. Today the team around Florian Rudig also designs broadcasts of well-known (business) events and produces livestreams from its own studio or mobile studio sets on location. That way the real event also comes alive in the virtual space.

    About Florian Rudig

    The Tyrolean with the microphone.

    Florian Rudig is an international host, commentator and director for TV and events. He is the voice of Olympic Games, World and European Championships and was a game show and prime-time host at ServusTV.

    With a degree in sports and media science, he spent nine years as reporter, journalist and presenter at Austria’s public broadcaster ORF (Radio Tirol, Ö1, Ö2, Ö3, FM4) and worked as a media trainer at the University of Innsbruck and the Medienkolleg Innsbruck. In 1998 he founded ROODIXX entertainment with his brother, DJ Tobias. As a duo they set new standards in staging sports and gala events live. A few years later came the livestreaming platform “Inncast”.

    In 2012 he developed an online live debate show in which the audience could influence what happened in the studio by voting. After leaving ServusTV in 2018 he founded the video podcast “Hinterzimmer” and a webcast platform that handles online events from start to finish. International engagements have taken him around the globe. His strength: connecting information and emotion, in front of and behind the camera.
