three australian companies: specktak international, world events, dae global and one american company jack morton worldwide (jmw) submitted bids to the gold coast 2018 commonwealth games corporation (goldoc) to produce the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2018 commonwealth games in gold coast. on 27 december 2015, the goldoc announced they chose jack morton worldwide to produce the ceremonies of the games. this sparked a controversy as the head of all the three australian companies ric birch, head of spectak, david atkins, head of dae global and julie brooks, head of world events questioned to goldoc that why an american company (jmw) was chosen for the production of ceremonies which was going to happen in australia. ric birch, who co-ordinated the ceremonies of the 1982 commonwealth games in brisbane, the 2000 summer olympics in sydney and the 1992 summer olympics in barcelona, called for a review of the decision to overlook three australian companies to present the ceremonies at the 2018 commonwealth games in gold coast. goldoc's head of communications marcus taylor said that jmw is an international company which have been working in australia since 1983 and have a range of experiences in producing the ceremonies of events as they have previously done for 2004 summer olympics in athens, 2006 commonwealth games in melbourne and the 2014 commonwealth games in glasgow.
