Austen has worked in the event industry for over 30 years, breaking new ground by launching consumer health shows (“It’ll never work”, he was told… more than once). Almost two decades later, with consumer health shows now mainstream globally, Austen continues to lead a talented team that launches first-to-market concepts around the world.
His career started in media auditing at The Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC), where he launched exhibition attendance auditing, before eventually becoming Group Sales and Marketing Director. Following stints at the leading UK events industry trade associations, as Chief Executive of AEO and Launch Director of both ESSA and AEV, Austen formed his own business. He remains on the Board of AEO and various working groups, and was elected Association Chairman in 2018.
Away from the office he’s raised two children, played football, murdered the saxophone and lost lots and lots of golf balls.
Tom focuses on launching brand new event concepts, developing new company partnerships and the progression of FSM’s digital strategy. Previously a UK Portfolio Director, Tom launched and oversaw the growth of large scale consumer shows across the UK and also leads on our event management of APEA Live.
A career-long experienced events professional. From 2004, Tom held marketing roles at leading event trade associations AEO and EIA, then went on to become Director of another, AEV. Tom currently sits on the AEO’s Development Board, its Events Working Group and is a judge for the AEO Excellence Awards.
Away from the office he’s the proudest possible dad of two, will entertain absolutely any sport-related conversation, and will happily bore you with the notion that There Will Be Blood is the greatest film of our time.
Ben started in event marketing but quickly rose to the role of Event Director, and then Portfolio Director. He is responsible for FSM’s work in the fertility sector. This includes consumer healthcare events taking place across the globe as Wish for a Baby, alongside business networking events, The Fertility Forums.
Before events, Ben was a teacher for 7 years, leading Film and Media Studies at a secondary school. He left that career behind to study for his master’s degree and undertook research on Chinese Cinema for the University of Kent. This included some time in Shanghai. He has also worked as a freelance writer and videographer.
Film and music are Ben’s biggest passions. He’s a singer songwriter in his regularly gigging band and has been known to talk on experimental and the avant garde at UK film festivals. For his pains, he’s also a lifelong Norwich City fan.
Christine oversees every aspect of our German Fertility Shows. From sales to marketing, operations to audits, nothing ‘Fives Senses Media’ happens in Germany without her knowing about it. A meticulous planner and champion of diversity, Christine launched our award-nominated ‘Rainbow Theatre’ at the 2022 Berlin edition of Kinderwunsch Tage.
After growing up in Radis, Germany, Christine’s first professional role was with City Post, before moving to England and using her excellent linguistic skills in translation roles and as a tutor for students studying GCSE German. This work led her to FSM, initially in a sales role before moving into her management position.
Christine is never happier than with a book in her hand and a cat on her lap. Setting an ambitious target of reading one hundred books this year leaves her little time for anything else, but like all Germans, she can be easily distracted with coffee and cake.
Jack ensures our ship sails smoothly forward with his accounts management across our UK and International portfolios. In his two years at FSM, Jack’s talent has seen him ‘own’ and restructure this part of our business, plus his versatility has shown he’s more-than-capable of sales support when called upon.
Jack is our youngest team member; a fact he’s often ‘reminded’ about, yet one he effortlessly endures given he’s smart enough to know we’re all just jealous. Stints as Head Chef in a Japanese restaurant and an Interactor at Warner Bros Studio’s The Making of Harry Potter preceded his start at FSM.
Chelsea FC, Marvel, comedy (especially Daniel Sloss), all movies (except horror), gaming… these are a few of Jack’s favourite things. But, most of all, Jack loves spending time with friends and family; whether it on a road trip, sitting in the pub, or throwing shapes on the dance floor.
We'd love to hear from you. There's nothing that excites our innovative team more than new projects or new ideas to enhance existing ones. Reach out and let's talk.
