Hi, I’m Adam.
Video producer, presenter and maker. I’ve been making commercial video, websites and content for Brisbane businesses for about ten years.
I live in the beautiful samford valley, getting outdoors as often as possible & enjoying the local natural environment with my kids.
On the side I Dabble in building things, whether that be furniture, electric bikes, even a tiny house - which I lived in for a while... before it got to small ha.
Embedded digital communications
For about ten years I’ve done brand and content work for businesses. Helping them develop their message, connect with their customers, and tell authentic stories about what they do.
A lot of that has been short term engagements. The project comes in, it gets scoped, delivered and handed over. I much prefer a more embedded role. In the business on a regular basis, speaking to the customers, learning how it actually works, and really understanding what the business does and what it’s about, so I can work out where I can create the most leverage for it.
So that’s what I offer. An ongoing contract or retainer with a small handful of businesses I’m aligned with, where I’m there often enough to build a proper relationship with the owners.
A bit about me
I started out in music tech and live sound, then moved into music videos. From around 2018 I’ve been making commercial video: brand films, promos, explainers and social ads for gyms, hospitals, startups and everyone in between.
Along the way I’ve also worked with a lot of businesses beyond the camera: brand consulting, messaging, web design and content strategy. I like helping a business work out what it’s actually trying to say. The advantages it already has, put in the words its ideal customer is already looking for, so it comes across as the only obvious option.
I’m comfortable in front of the camera as well as behind it, and I mostly work solo, which keeps shoots small and easy to schedule around a working business.
Commercial video production
I’ve worked as a video producer for businesses for the last decade, helping them communicate what they do and build trust online.

Heart-Led Support
An NDIS provider here in SEQ, and the client relationship I’m proudest of. I produced their video and photography for two years, supporting the growth of their business through media made to build trust within the NDIS sector, as they went from 3 staff to more than 150. Explainers, participant stories, recruitment films, event coverage, and the launch of their sister brand.

Presenting and hosting
I’m happy to be on camera and I can film myself, so a product video or an explainer doesn’t need a crew or a big shoot day.

From sketches to stores
The launch of the Under Armour HOVR through Foot Locker, 2019. Storyboarded, shot and edited by me. The stills ran in Foot Locker stores for the launch, and a video GIF played on the screens in store.
Web, messaging and branding
Brand workshops, positioning, website copy and the build itself. A few of my favourites:
Creative Roots
A breath therapy practice. A full package: brand story film, three customer testimonials, a re-brand film, and the website.

The Embodied Man Institute
An Australian not for profit. I helped them design the site, clarify their messaging and structure their content, so a complicated and still changing organisation reads in a way people can follow.
