Outback Presents has elevated Emily Scerri to Vice President of Entertainment Strategy.
Based in Nashville, Scerri most recently served as Director of Touring. In her new role, she will continue to expand the live entertainment company’s footprint and drive the success of its special events and music initiatives, working alongside Co-CEO Mike Smardak and Outback Presents’ Board of Directors.
The Brisbane, Australia native started her career working in the box office for music festivals, including Byron Bay Bluesfest, Soundwave and CMC Rocks, with family-owned, independent ticketing and marketing company Emedia Campaigns. She then went on to assist with operations and artist liaison for the Big Pineapple Music Festival and Bondi Beachfest.
Later, Scerri moved to Los Angeles and spent time at Dick Clark Productions, where she assisted with talent booking for the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), American Music Awards and Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve.

“Emily exhibits every attribute of success needed for a tremendous career in this business: integrity, work ethic and core promoter values,” says Smardak. “I am very excited to see all of the things she will accomplish in the future, and I am eager to continue supporting her initiatives.”
“I’m beyond excited to be part of Outback Presents’ continued growth and proud to share the same values of innovation and the boutique approach of an independent promoter,” Scerri shares. “Being part of this team has been an incredible journey so far, and I’m especially grateful to work alongside Mike Smardak. His mentorship, support and extensive industry insight have been invaluable. I’m eager to continue expanding our reach and impact in the live entertainment space.”
