Available to hire
Hi, I’m Joshua Burns, a multimedia content creator and hospitality professional based in Budapest. I specialise in planning and producing engaging event content—photos, videos, live streams, podcasts—and I also bring hospitality leadership to bar teams, event promotions and customer experience. Over the years I’ve run and supported venues like Hoff House and Nomad, creating promotional media for Ultimate Budapest and other bars, while teaching English and media in schools along the way.
Beyond events and teaching, I design social media content, write copy for campaigns, and capture behind‑the‑scenes moments at gigs and performances. My background in English, media and education keeps me curious, organised and ready to bring creative ideas to life—from open mics and karaoke nights to bar crawls and festivals.
