are you:
Craving the ability to tell your story but feeling overstretched and lacking the capacity to think about it - let alone CREATE it?
Needing to improve how you engage with your audience but don’t know how to get started?
Feeling vulnerable because you’re not able to get your story in front of the people who need to see it?
Looking for a trusted partner and someone who can just get shit done?
FEAR NOT…
If you answered yes to any of the above, you’ve come to the right place.
I will make you feel supported and satisfied.
I will help you feel validated about how your story matters.
I will show you that by telling your story well - with humanity and personality - it will magnetize people to you and your brand.
And I will make the whole experience painless and exhilarating.

Working with Innovasea - June 2019
MY PROCESS:
In over 20 years of storytelling with clients, ranging from some of the world’s largest companies to new start-ups, I follow a simple, nimble process that:
Solves your problems with engagement
Results in dynamic content that lives on the right channels to promote your brand
Creates the tools you need to drive direct sales
I start with a discovery meeting to help identify your sticking points and what you want success to feel like. We spend a half day together and agree the scope of work.
That could look like several things:
A video project where you get me for the whole creative process - scripting, planning, shooting & editing - to craft your brand story, and devise a distribution plan to get it in front of the right eyeballs
A more complex, multi-channel project where I lead a team of creative collaborators to execute the required components - eg. branding, design, video, website, etc
Or we might find someone with hidden skills on your team who I can mentor to deliver what you need, and build valuable internal capacity.
THEN WE flow through the production steps seamlessly:
Scripting & storyboarding
Shoot planning
Location shoot
Editing
Finishing & delivery
The benefit of 20 years in this game is that I know how you get things done efficiently, effectively AND we’ll have a great time working together.

Managing the media scrum
LNG Canada FID announcement - November 2018
“You are EPIC! Your films made last night. You have such an amazing talent and I feel privileged to both work with you.”
“We have 10 years of history working with Nic and the experience has been fantastic. Nic and his team were passionate about meeting our strategy and needs.They were able to handle any requests for changes, conducted themselves with utmost professionalism, and assisted with overcoming and challenges we faced with project implementation. I would recommend Nic to anyone required slick, captivating video content to promote their product or service.”
“Nic and his team bring a plethora of expertise, enthusiasm, and professionalism to every project. He was able to guide us through the story boarding process and bring our vision to life. Nic was able to tie together the various components in a compelling manner and tell the ‘story’ we had been struggling to communicate to our customers. A quote from a longtime employee about the piece sums it up nicely - This video is one of the best pieces of product marketing we have ever produced.”
“What impressed me most about Nic was his unending enthusiasm and dedication to get to the heart of the story we were trying to tell. His cumulative experience and expertise in the industry were extremely valuable on this project, as Nic was able to see things others wouldn’t, and for that reason, we have a final product that is high quality, and something we are extremely proud of.”
“Nic has big brains for complex clients with difficult deliverables. He is charming and thoughtful, reliable and really tall. He also has super stamina which is partly due to his unflagging determination and focus and partly due to his marathon running. Great guy.”
“Nic has that rare combination of creative expertise and business knowledge. He listens first and talks second, meaning you get what you need - applied creativity rather than creativity for the sake of it.”
“Nic provides outstanding film production services. He is highly professional, creative, client-focused and committed to delivering the best possible product. He is a pleasure to
work with and I look forward to engaging him in future projects.
”
“I worked alongside Nic at an agency in the UK. I was always impressed with his professionalism and maturity to lead projects with tier one clients.”
I’d love to add your quote to this list in a couple of months time when you will want to refer me to your connections as you bask in the glow of the positive feedback you are getting from the project we created together.
