Adam Hall · AH Fencing
[ Founder-led marketing ]
The best story in Australian fencing, and almost nobody knew it
The situation
Adam started with $3,000 and a ute and built AH Fencing into a commercial operation. Eighteen months ago his personal page had around 500 followers. The work was winning tenders. The profile was doing nothing for him.
What we did
We backed the man, not the logo. Our crew films Adam doing the actual work: the 6am starts, the crew, the 5km runs, the ice baths. He talks straight to camera about how he really runs the business, the hiring, the margins, the mistakes. We cut, caption and publish it week after week across both his founder account and the AH Fencing brand account.
The result
The founder account went from roughly 500 followers to over 41,000. The business account sits above 5,300. That is an audience of more than 46,000 people in and around Australian construction, built from a standing start, and it belongs to Adam rather than to an ad platform he has to keep paying. When AH Fencing puts up a job ad now, it pulls 1,500 applicants.
“Hipe Media are absolutely legendary. Whether it’s filming us doing a 5km run, jumping into ice baths, or turning up on site at 6am, nothing is ever too much. They’ve done an incredible job capturing the true essence of who our business is and what we stand for.”

Brandon · BL Air
[ Commercial HVAC ]
The work was commercial grade. Nothing online said so.
The situation
Brandon built BL Air into a commercial HVAC operation running jobs across Queensland and Victoria. Plant rooms, ducted installs, technical work at a scale most trades never touch. The problem with that kind of work is that nobody sees it. It happens behind a locked door on level four, and when the job is done there is nothing left to show a client except an invoice.
What we did
We film BL Air on live commercial sites in Brisbane and Melbourne. Plant rooms mid install, the crew on the tools, the toolbox talks at the start of the day. Half of it is pointed at the people who award the contracts and half at the people who might come and work there, because in HVAC finding good techs is every bit as hard as finding good jobs.
The result
Three months in, the BL Air account has done 240,665 views and reached 30,589 people, up 1,241 per cent on where it was. Close to seven in ten of those views came from people who do not follow them yet, which is the whole point: it is landing in front of new commercial clients and new techs rather than the same faces every week. Followers have gone from around 300 to over 900 and are still climbing, and BL Air have brought on three new key players off the back of it.
“Mate!! I am so impressed with your service, systems and delivery… Unreal mate! Love your work and service is amazing.”

“The Hipe media team is hands down the best on the Gold Coast. Punctual and professional, we have used them a few times to capture content for my concreting business… we have picked up more work due to the high quality edits and videos he has made. Couldn’t recommend enough.”

“Hipe Media has been an absolute game-changer for us at GCD. Jansen is a top guy, professional, creative, and truly knows his craft.

“Hipe Media exceeded our expectations with the incredible video content and photos they created for our construction company. The videos were engaging and the pictures showed the quality and craftsmanship of our work perfectly. Jansen is great to work with and has a very fast turnaround time, making the entire process seamless.”

“I have used Hipe media once a month this past year, and their content is quality… I have cancelled on them last minute multiple times due to my construction stage not being quite ready and they have been so flexible making it work when needed, even very last minute. A very quick turnaround on the content also, 24 to 48 hours.”

[ How it runs ]
What a month with us looks like
Shoot day
Our crew turns up on your site in our own PPE. One day, filmed around the job. No studio, no actors, nobody downing tools.
The edit
Six to ten finished videos out of that single day, cut, captioned and graded, plus stills.
Publish
Scheduled and posted across your channels. You approve, we handle the rest.
Review
A monthly read on the numbers, what performed, and what we shoot next.
[ Why us ]
Why builders use us instead of a videographer
We turn up
A crew on your site, in your city. Not a remote editor waiting on footage you never get around to sending.
We only shoot trades
We know what a site looks like, what you can and cannot film, and how to stay out of the way of the job.
We run the whole thing
Filming, editing, captions, posting, reporting. You approve, and that is the extent of your involvement.
We can run the ads
Content and spend from the same team, pointed at the same thing.
