A lot of video looks nice and does nothing. This is built to bring in actual work. No guarantees, because nobody can promise results. But we're the ones filming it, editing it and running the ads ourselves, not collecting a fee and handing it off.
Two spots remaining this month
Bringing you leads
through video ads.
Based in Nelson. We plan it, film it, edit it, and run the ads. One person, start to finish. No retainer, no lock-in.
It's not for everyone
We take on a handful of clients at a time, so the fit has to be right before either of us spends a dollar.
Who this is for
- You want leads, enquiries or bookings, not followers
- You've got the margin to fund ad spend on top of the project fee
- You're passionate about your business and want to grow it
- You understand results aren't guaranteed, they're tested for
Who this isn't for
- You want a guarantee before anything's been tested
- You need to sign off on every shot and caption
- You're shopping for the cheapest quote going
- You're not ready to actually spend on ads
The process we follow
Fit call
A quick call to check it's actually a fit, before either of us spends anything.
Strategise
We look into the business properly, who you are and who you're trying to reach, then build a plan around what'll actually bring in customers.
Script
We write the script and shot list, the real plan for what gets filmed.
Film
Shoot day. We bring our own gear and shoot wide and horizontal, not just phone-style vertical clips.
Edit
Cut into a few versions, different hooks, different formats, so it fits properly wherever it runs instead of getting cropped after the fact.
Launch and optimise
Ads go live on Meta. We check in and adjust daily for the month. What's working keeps running, what's not gets cut.
Handover
At the end of the month, you get the keys. Raw footage, final ads, and the ad account, all yours.
What you get, and what you keep
At the end of the month, everything gets handed over. No files held back, no account you can't log into, nothing to come back and ask for later.
The raw footage
Every take from the shoot goes into a portal set up in your name. Not just what made the final cut, the outtakes and b-roll too, and it's there for you to pull down whenever you need it.
The ad account
Set up in your name before a dollar gets spent, and it stays that way after. If we ever stop working together, the account and everything it's learned goes with you.
Stays in your name, with everything it has learned, if we stop working together.
The ads
One shoot, recut for every placement, so nothing gets cropped badly after the fact.
A campaign that ran
A month live. What works keeps running, what doesn't gets cut, and we watch it with you instead of mailing a report at the end.
Selected work
Video made for these businesses, around Nelson and further afield.
What it's like to work with us
Reviews from businesses we've filmed for around Nelson and further afield.
We had a great experience working with Tui Media. Arlo was professional, organised, and took the time to fully understand the brief and what we needed to achieve. He was also flexible and responsive throughout the editing process. We're really pleased with the final video content and would happily recommend him.
Tui Media were a pleasure to work with on the Nelson City Council New Year's Eve celebrations, with Arlo delivering a polished and engaging highlight reel that perfectly captured the energy and atmosphere of the event.
Arlo was recommended to us by a friend. So we had a very big event coming up and thought let's do it. Arlo floated around the event seamlessly and captured everything absolutely spot on. We are absolutely stoked with what he produced for us. He put in a tremendous amount of work and has created a stunning memory that we are over the moon we got him to capture for us.
Who you're working with

Arlo Radford
Hey there, I'm Arlo, a Nelson College student with over four years experience as a video creative. Filmmaking has been my passion for quite some time now and it's grown into this business. I've worked with 30+ NZ businesses on 60+ videos, and I love working with passionate brands.
I see being young as an advantage in this industry, since I know what actually gets watched right now, not the overproduced, agency-style stuff.
I write, shoot and edit every ad myself, script to final cut, so nothing gets lost in translation along the way.
I'm based in Nelson and work nationwide. I'd love to hear more about what you have in mind.
Questions?
Usually two to three weeks. A week to agree the angle and write, a shoot day, then a few days to cut.
One project fee, no retainer, no lock-in. Ad spend is separate and paid by you straight to the platform, so nothing gets marked up on the way through.
Everything gets handed over: the ads, the raw footage and the ad account. Nothing to cancel, because there's no rolling fee.
No, but it usually helps. If you'd rather not, we build around your staff, your customers, the work itself, or voiceover.
Enough for the campaign to learn something. What that looks like depends on what you sell, so it's one of the first things we work out on the call.
No retainer and no lock-in, so there's no contract to get stuck in. The ad account's opened in your name, and the footage and the account both stay yours if we stop. You also deal with us direct, the ones actually filming and editing it, not an account manager passing messages along.
One project. No lock-in. Start with a conversation.
Twenty minutes, no pitch. We'll tell you whether we can help before you spend anything.
