About us

The people behind the posts.

We're a small team, and the two of us are on every account. The shows, the shoots and the posting schedule all run through us.

Why we do this

"We hate seeing people who do great stuff drown in a sea of negative news."

That's why this place exists.

Read our story

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.

Who you'll work with

You talk to the two of us directly, start to finish.

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.

Three things we won't budge on

Same rules for a city, a firm at the Capitol or a barbecue joint.

You approve everything

Nothing goes out without your sign‑off. Not a post, not a caption, not a thumbnail.

You own the files

The edits and the raw footage are yours. If we ever part ways, you keep all of it.
