Steve
Watt is the principal performer behind Robot Promotions. He
has over 20 years experience as "the
man behind the curtain" and has travelled across North America.
His career began in Chicago
back in 1986 where he trained under the guidance of Show
America, a pioneer in the robot business and creators of
Expo Ernie, the incredibly popular robotic mascot of Expo
86 in Vancouver, Canada. In 1997, Steve purchased his own
robot and began his adventure as Canada's answer to "Mr.
Roboto". In 2000, due to overwhelming demand, he added additional
robotic characters to his stable.
From trade shows to sales conferences, retail
openings to golf tournaments, Steve is well versed in robot/human
interaction. He is extremely skilled at making people stop,
delivering a message in a very friendly manner, and most
importantly, making people remember the product or company
he is representing. Perhaps his greatest skill, besides being
able to blend into a crowd, is his strong improvisational
skills. Regardless of the type of business or event, he is
able to converse as an industry expert with perspective clients
and existing customers alike cleaverly interweaving a marketing/sales
message during the chat. Armed with a quick wit, a bent sense
of humour and the gift of gab, he can bring a smile to pretty
much any face and definitely break the ice in a very unique
manner at any style event.
According to Watt, "This is the greatest
job in the world! Where else can you go, talk and learn a
little about the 5,000 people you meet over 3 days at a trade
show. Or help someone decide that they really do need a cell
phone even though they thought they didn't. Or introduce
and poke a little fun at The Minister of Northern Affairs
in front of 1,500 people. Or meet and greet a hotel lobby
full of guests. Or entertain an entire town of 10,000 people
at the opening of a car manufacturing facility. Or leave
almost everyone you roll into, with a smile on their face!
That's my life as a robot."
