……Matt, what does a day usually involve for you, being Jamie's manager?
Im sure we would all like to know, well even if nobody else does, i would.
Also what is Martine's role @ T8. as i know she does a great job with the guys @ instores with PJ.
Are you guys employed by T8 or subby'd from Fluid PR?
Allot of questions, dont know if any of them make sense, but anything you can tell me, would interest me greatly.
Cheers
Roh

I’m tipping Matt spends most of his time flat out on the beaches or water on the “goldy” but he always finds time for a Bundy or two!

Benn you are most probably correct, but would be interesting to here what he passes off as WORK! lol

Hi There sorry for my late reply………..it’s been a busy week already!!
Contrary to Benn’s belief………………..I am not flat out on the beaches or water…..but yes I do enjoy a bundy. Benn cannot ride a dirtbike………he will tell you that he can but it’s just a delusion that we play along with to keep him happy!!!!
Martine and I are partners in our business, Fluid PR.
We are a PR, Media and Athlete Management agency based on the Gold Coast. Our current PR and Media clients include Yamaha Motor Australia, Team Vodafone, Crusty Demons of Dirt, Australasian Supercross Series, Festival of Speed on Tweed, Bob Jane Corp and many more. Our management division services athletes such as Jamie Whincup, Chad Reed - World Supercross star, Blake “Bilko” Williams - World Freestyle star and a number of others in golf, surfing and Football.
Fluid PR is contracted by T8 for media and PR services and this account is run by Martine, who travels to all races with the team.
Fluid PR is contracted by Whincup Motorsport as his official agents. I work on this account personally as I do with all our athletes.
We also have three other staff - The man Tobes, Belinda and Bec. Tobes has been with us since finishing Uni in 2005 and Bec was our sectetary at SBR before I left and she came to us in Mid 05. So Bec and I have worked together for about 5years. Bel is our country girl from Bathurst who had previously worked for the government and Super Ceap Auto Racing.

So the short answer to Matt’s reply is that he has a few bundy’s and makes a few phone calls to delegate some work, ha
Kate 8:44 pm March 5th 2008

Doe 8:46 pm March 5th 2008

Bundy’s that is
Matt Cousins 8:49 pm March 5th 2008
Ufortunately Dorothy that is correct - I have a few whilehe has two and the result is Whincup’s usually gone to sleep or talking to much. We like to call that WaWa’s.

I’d love to see how heavy the workload is for Jamie’s PR at a race weekend….It must be insanely busy, but I’m sure it’s great
Doe 9:33 pm March 5th 2008
hmm Matt must have either a really soothing voice or Jamie thinks he’s boring ( sorry Matt )
TVF-888 9:56 pm March 5th 2008
Awesome thanks Matt, just what i was after, i have seen 1st hand how busy Martine is, she does a fantastic job (and she is a wonderful lady)
