About Us
The people behind the posts.
DSE Media is a social media and video production agency at 2422 E 7th St, Austin, Texas 78702, founded by Aidan Evans and Declan Shearman. DSE Media has delivered more than 145 projects for over 35 Texas organizations, including 6 or more Texas communities and 14 government and public affairs organizations, and is rated 5 stars on Google.
DSE Media is two people who answer their own phones. Everything you've seen from our clients — the shows, the shoots, the posting schedule that never slips — comes through the two of us.
Aidan Evans
Co-founder
Aidan runs strategy and sits across the table from every client. He'll tell you he works in social media professionally. The truth is the agency is an elaborate excuse for a LinkedIn addiction we've all stopped pretending is research. Message him there — he'll see it before his email, his texts, and possibly this sentence.

Declan Shearman
Co-founder
Declan runs production: the cameras, the lighting, the edit, and the small mountain of files every shoot leaves behind. If a video looks good, that's Declan. If it also went out on schedule, that's Declan twice. He is on LinkedIn a normal, healthy amount.

"We hate seeing people who do great stuff drown in a sea of negative news."
That's the belief this firm is built on. The people doing the best work — in city halls, at the Capitol, behind a counter — are usually the last ones telling their own story, because they're too busy doing the work. Meanwhile, the negative stuff never needs a marketing budget.
Aidan's background is in local government, where he watched it happen from the inside: good work, done quietly, drowned out. Declan brought the social media and production skills to do something about it. It was a natural partnership — one of us knows why the story matters, the other knows how to make people watch it.
So we built an agency that takes the entire job off your desk: strategy, filming, editing, captions, and posting, out of East Austin. You approve everything. We handle everything else. It works the same whether you're a city, a campaign, a firm working the Capitol, or a barbecue joint with a line down the block.
Three things we won't budge on
You approve everything
Nothing publishes without your sign-off. Not a post, not a caption, not a thumbnail. Your name is on it, so your hand is on it.
You own the files
Edited deliverables and raw footage are yours. If we ever part ways, you keep everything we made together.
We show up
Weekly, in person, camera in hand. Consistency is the entire strategy, so it's the one thing we refuse to outsource.
