Qantas
How many countries feature in the “I still call Australia home” Qantas commercial?
Penny Spencer managed the travel logistics of 35 children (and their parents) – numerous Qantas personnel - 30 film crew members and all their equipment – over a 4 month period with ever-changing production schedules.

Penny’s understanding of the film industry, knowledge of the 7 countries* visited, and the availability of hands-on management around the clock, resulted in the seemingly effortless execution of the iconic award-winning TV commercial.
* Australia/South America/USA/Europe/India/Bangkok/China


Ship build
How many Australians does it take to build a LPG storage ship?
Building a Liquefied Petroleum Gas storage ship in Japan is a lengthy project requiring personnel to be present throughout different stages of the build. The travel logistics not only involved moving 12 Australian personnel who were directly involved in the build – it also required liaison with partners, spouses and families to co-ordinate their visits when leave time was available.

Spencer Travel had everyone in the right place at the right time - be it ship building or birthday celebrations.

Janet Jackson
How many bulletproof Taragos with tinted glass exist in Australia?
None – until Janet Jackson demanded she have one while touring, and Spencer Travel organized for the car to be specially built through their rental car company.

Dealing with a high-profile celebrity’s needs and demands takes patience, flexibility, and minute by minute management. It also takes someone with the right partnerships, contacts and knowledge of local industries.
