Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown's Biography

Charlie Brown is one of Australia's leading commentators on home and lifestyle technology. When he’s not busy providing expert commentary across Nine News, The Today Show, News Talk 4BC and 2GB, Charlie runs CBN Media, a Sydney-based production house.

As part of his duties at CBN Media, Charlie produces CyberShack, Australia’s longest running free-to-air consumer technology focused TV show. The 19th season of CyberShack aired on Channel 9 this month.

CBN Media works alongside leading brands including Harvey Norman, Samsung, LG, Lenovo, SanDisk, Trend Micro and more to help educate consumers about the latest consumer technology in a simple-to-understand, jargon free manner.

Across his work as both a commentator and a company director, Charlie always does his best to demystify technology for the average consumer.

“Technology changes every year, to the point where I understand how so many struggle to keep up,” said Charlie. “There’s a new development about a new product every single day, and it’s unreasonable to expect consumers to know it all. The average person doesn’t care about gigahertz or terabytes, they just want to know if a product will work for them and how it will do it. That’s why I try and cut through the jargon and explain the real world value of the latest tech.

Charlie is a popular speaker and MC for corporations and industry groups, including Visa, Harvey Norman and the Photo Marketing Association. To these events he brings an unrivalled ability to communicate, educate and inspire his audience on issues relating to the technology of today, what is just around the corner and how developments can and will change the environment in which we live and do business.
