Philip Victor Ongert is the Presenter-Emcee-Host, who will take your event to the highest level. He is an outgoing, reliable, seasoned professional in the Event Marketing industry...and in everything that he does. Persistence, hard work, and a sense of humor have been at the base of Philip's greatest achievements.
Starting with his first gig as a trade show model a number of years back, he has been heavily involved in the Event Marketing & Promotional industry for 20+ years. In that time, Philip has been executing events in major markets all across the country, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas, Cleveland, etc. He has happily worn the hat of a BA, Presenter, Program Manager, Emcee, Character Entertainer, Spokesmodel, Demonstrator, Game Show Host, and more.
During that time, he has become quite comfortable entertaining over a microphone, scheduling and managing staff, using tele- and ear-prompters, setting up event footprints/booths, photographing and summarizing event highlights, memorizing and creatively conveying key program messaging, gathering crowds, and engaging consumers. Most importantly, Philip is acutely aware of the specific goals and objectives of the client's program, and able to exceed their expectations.
Extended Bio
Several years back, he began a eager journey into improvisation and acting in Chicago at Second City &
Improv Olympic. Much of what makes him an exceptional Emcee & Host are the skills that he began honing there.
Soon after, he transitioned back to Orlando, and then out to L.A., where he re-directed his focus onto the discipline of
film & commercials. He has also enjoyed many tremendous opportunities in Voice-Over, Print, TV, & live Theater.
In 2012, he was contracted for seven months as a Host for Nickelodeon. During that time, he brought dynamic energy, creativity & excitement to Slime Time Live, Nick Trivia, Nickelodeon Live, Dora's Dance Party, and many other classic Nick shows & activities.
This year started off with a bang, at CES in Las Vegas, where Philip attended for the 10th time, this year returning as a Presenter/Emcee for LG Electronics, and the years prior, as a Presenter for Samsung, Huawei, and Panasonic Electronics. He recently Presented at OOW, RSA & VM World in San Francisco and Collaborate in Las Vegas, as well as Emceeing for FX at Comic Con in San Diego, Bank of America at NAR, & regularly for the San Diego Padres. He is also an Emcee & Line Dance Instructor at the famous Moonshine Flats & Moonshine Beach in San Diego. He has performed those roles for Hard Rock at Boot's'Dukes Fest, as well as recently at Country Thunder FL.
Currently, Philip performs and entertains for two Theme parks, Sea World & Legoland. Since June of 2013, he has taken on eighteen different performer roles between the two parks...with more to follow in the coming months. Last year, he performed in the Cirque Electrique show as well as the brand new O Wondrous Night Christmas musical. To say he is in "high demand" would be a gross understatement. Those performance capacities have included: stage actor, host, presenter, special event Emcee, improviser, singer, guitar player, dancer & comic mime. Since his start at those parks, it is estimated that he himself has entertained well over 3 million park guests. His aim is to give his best performance every show, and in doing so, hopefully be a part of some lifelong memories...or at the very least, a lasting smile.
