Mix102.3 has revealed they are behind the mysterious Man in the White Suit, who has been spotted all over Adelaide giving away gifts.
For the last few weeks, a man dressed head to toe in white, with his recognisable white top hat and white stretched Hummer in tow, has been sparking conversation amongst Adelaideans.
The man approaches members of the public and gives away everything from flowers to cash. The gestures began with free white roses on Valentine’s Day, icy poles during Adelaide’s recent heatwave and last week, it was money.
People have been asking questions about the man’s origin, taking to Reddit and sending in images to online publications like Glam Adelaide, hoping to find some answers.
While much of the mystery around the Man in the White Suit remains, it has been revealed that Adelaide radio station Mix102.3 is responsible for the gift-giving fella.
Head of KIIS Network, Derek Bargwanna, said, “We thought it’d be a fun idea to spread kindness and love around Adelaide, with a little mysterious twist.”
In the coming weeks, the Man in the White Suit will continue his generous pursuit giving out thousands in free cash. He is likely to make an appearance at some of Adelaide’s large-scale events, while also continuing his suburban visits.
“At the end of the day it’s Adelaideans sharing love and joy. Those who interact with the man in the white suit walk away with big smiles, and more often than not, a small gift,” said Bargwanna.
Mix102.3 will be dropping clues on live radio about the man’s whereabouts this week, giving listeners an advantage when trying to track him down.
Mediaweek recently took a trip to the Adelaide ARN studios to chat with Ali Clarke, Shane Lowe, and Max Burford about the last 12 months and what comes next.
Speaking about the changes to the Breakfast Show, Clarke begins by saying that “There has been change, but I think change in the right direction”
Clarke: “The one thing that has stayed the same, and the one thing that we’re all united on is that we’re doing a show that’s not about us. It’s about the listeners and about the people who actually give us their time – we know what a privilege it is for someone to take us into their home or their car and take time out of their day to listen to what we’re saying.
“Even though there have been a few changes around the edges, I think they’ve been settling changes. We’ve all found our strengths.”
