I lead a boutique marketing agency for websites and video and step in as a fractional marketing leader when teams need senior execution—not theory.

Recent highlights: launched new websites that lifted organic traffic within 60 days, paired with consent‑first analytics (GA4/GTM server‑side + CMP) so sales actually sees who’s engaging. I’ve driven multi‑channel demand gen across Google, LinkedIn, and Meta, turning content and video into qualified pipeline—not just impressions.

What I’m good at
Websites: Webflow & WordPress/Elementor, CRO, landing pages, site speed, SEO foundations.
Video: short‑form customer stories, ads, UGC‑style assets to warm retargeting and sales enablement.
Performance: SEO/SEM/PPC, LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads, UTM governance, GA4, GTM (server‑side), Looker Studio reporting.
Ops: attribution, lead scoring, HubSpot/Klaviyo automations, clean dashboards sales actually uses.
Privacy: GDPR/CCPA‑aligned consent (Axeptio CMP) without killing conversion.

Signature wins

Rebuilt a B2B site + content engine → organic traffic up in 2 months, better account visibility for sales.

Grew agency revenue triple‑digit YoY while delivering enterprise‑level reporting for SMB–mid‑market brands.

Produced 100s of brand assets; 10k+ followers and content viewed by large audiences.

Core competencies: Webflow websites, WordPress/Elementor, video production, SEO/SEM, PPC (Google/LinkedIn/Meta), CRO, A/B testing, UTM/attribution, GA4, GTM (server‑side), Looker Studio, ABM, marketing automation (HubSpot/Klaviyo), CMP/consent management (Axeptio), sales enablement, stakeholder alignment, vendor management.

And 100's of DTC brands for content and ad creation.

I’ve been seeing a wave of videographer job posts lately—and too many of them are packed with 🚩🚩🚩

A few common red flags:

🚩 “We need one video, but also 10 reels, drone footage, editing, motion graphics, and voiceovers.”
That’s not a solo project—that’s an entire media team. Be real about the scope (and budget).

🚩 Budget: $500–$5,000
This tells me you either don’t know what you need, or you’re hoping to get champagne on a beer budget. A single well-produced brand video alone can run $5K+.

🚩 “Looking for someone who can shoot, edit, and post all content weekly”
Cool, but are you supplying a brief? A shot list? Feedback loop? Or just expecting someone to magically “go viral”?

If you're hiring a videographer, clarity and respect for the craft go a long way. 

Good creative starts with a solid partnership—not vague expectations and an impossible to-do list.

🎥 Pro tip: If you want strategy and execution, that’s usually two roles (or a team).

Boutique Marketing Leader | Websites • Video • Performance | 11k+ network | Content and consent-first analytics for B2B Data Centers, Smart Lighting and Spaces, Manufactures, SaaS and DTC brands.

By placing storytelling at the core of consent, Axeptio breaks away from “consent fatigue” and reimagines compliance as a new growth lever. 

What was once a regulatory obligation now becomes a stage: a new communication channel where brands can engage audiences, build trust, and convert attention into performance.

No alternative text description for this image

I’m an incredibly direct person.

Lately I’ve been leaning on ChatGPT to help me tailor messages, but even then… people are people.

You can do the research, read the room, run the personality tests, and still land on a phrase that rubs someone the wrong way. So I try not to beat myself up chasing the “perfect” wording.

That’s also why I still value in-person so much. Meetings, time together, real conversations—it clears up what text can’t.

In the last week nearly all of our clients have booked more work for 2026 and reaffirmed their partnership with Chasing Creative. 

WHAT A GIFT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS! 

Thank you to all our clients and friends we appreciate you.

If you know someone great in Palm Coast, tag them 👇

In 2025 I planned on doing fractional marketing for brands or SaaS companies. And we have done that.

But what has propelled our growth is our knack for getting things done with websites and videos. 

I've personally launched several websites and visited places all over the US and one international to create video content. 

No big budgets, no big crew, and no fluff.

The results are my clients are getting 50x the content without the massive price tag. 

Is it still an investment?  Yes. A partnership, 100% we need client review and feedback to get things dialed in. 

And we can't wait to build on this in 2026. 

Video was a passion that turned into a line item. Now that is cool.

Life is all about collaboration—that is fuel for us at Chasing Creative. Here is a little behind the scenes of our rooftop bar scene we staged at @sipontheroof for an upcoming video produced by Grey Matter Group. Thanks to SIP Cocktail Bar, Manifest Distilling, DuBlasé Whiskey, our models and crew for bringing great energy and passion to this project. 

Stay tuned to see how Grey Matter Group uses our secret (for now) drone shots for their latest project!

One intro can change the game for a small company like Chasing Creative. 

We've had current clients this year recommend us to 1-2 partners of theirs—the result has been a mix of projects and small but powerful MRR growth for a solo agency built around contractors. 

The result is new projects launched, creatives hired by our firm, and contractors hired by our firm to complete projects on their behalf. 

No managing an outsourced or internal team. Lite agency management and easy pivoting budget to new projects if something isn't working as a campaign or tactic. 

That is because our end goal is relationships and LTV. Not, big paydays and see you again in 5 years.

I've been running and gunning this week. Time for some RnR in Willamette Valley for a couple days.

Transparency and trust are at the core of what we do at Chasing Creative. 🌟 Every pitch is unique, tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. 

We pride ourselves on providing clear timelines and honest numbers, ensuring sustainable growth for both our agency and our clients. Recently, a major brand thanked us for our transparency, highlighting the importance of building genuine relationships over quick profits. 

Let's continue to redefine what it means to be a marketing agency, Chasing Creative. 

#Transparency #SustainableGrowth #ChasingCreative

Let’s get creative—but that also means keeping things simple. A clear message travels farther. Most marketing is repeating the same offer and the same promise again and again. The style can shift and the format can change, but the core value should always be unmistakable. 

Follow Chasing Creative for more insights like this.

I've been working with and installing Axeptio's privacy compliance tool on my clients websites over the last two years. It's easy to install, has loads of built in options and stylization, and most of all its compliant in the regions that matter most. #cookie #privacy #consent

If you create content you are used to people taring a page from your strategy—this means you are doing it right. 

But you have to continue to create new ways to engage as old methods will be repeated and overdone. 

Finding new ways to engage with your current audience and network is key to business growth today. 

In 2026 you will see more transparency on LinkedIn—still professional in tone but drawing back the curtain a bit more. 

Just wait.

An update on Chasing Creative and how travel 🧳 has impacted our projects and growth over the years from the Vintages Trailer Park in Oregon! Chasing Creative

Momentum beats motivation. 🚀 

In my work with various clients, I've seen how overwhelming tasks and approval processes can dampen motivation. 

But when you build momentum through consistency, you achieve small wins and collaborate more effectively. 

Set a roadmap for your business, and watch motivation follow. #Momentum #BusinessGrowth #Leadership

Life feels different lately.
Less stress. More momentum. I’m genuinely excited about the work again. 

Some clients even say, “Why are you so fired up all the time?”

Easy answer: this is the dream.

Doing your own thing isn’t easy. I still delegate, still stay scrappy, and still get my hands dirty every day.

What has changed is clarity. Speed. And a real knack for finding solutions that actually move the needle for clients.

In 2025, we had one client that didn’t pan out. One. And that happens.

Everything else has been about alignment, execution, and building something sustainable—for us and the people we work with.

Momentum is a powerful thing when you’re clear on where you’re going.

Agency life isn’t about balance—and honestly, that fits me.

If you’ve worked with me, you know I move fast, have a lot of energy, and over-communicate by default.

When I took Chasing Creative full-time, it started with just a handful of clients and projects—enough to build a foundation, but not without pressure.

Going from a six-figure salary with benefits and equity to building from zero was wild.

What made it intense? A couple of retainers.

 What if one churned? How many months could we float?

That’s where planning mattered.

I knew one of my largest clients might shift budget. It made sense. And they did—cut the retainer in half.

But I saw it as a win.

They chose to keep working together, even at a smaller scope. And I felt the same—some clients feel like family. Budgets change. That’s real.

Over the last year, I focused on stacking smaller retainers—especially around website management.

 Affordable for startups and mid-sized teams, but meaningful when they compound.

That shift made losing 50% of one retainer far less painful.

And it works. One client saved $12K a year by leaving an agency charging double for similar work.

Why share this?

If you’re starting out: build a foundation first.

 Then add supporting pillars—services or offers that stack over time.

That’s how things stabilize.

 That’s how you grow without panic.

We help b2b SaaS marketers turn their video footage into leads | Founder at A2 Media | Ex-Shopify & Affirm.

📌 Most B2B brands don't lose to better products or services. They lose to better content marketing.

(We've got 1/3 client spots left for this quarter).

Hi, I'm Ademola! I run video strategy at A2 Media. We're an 8-person team that helps B2B SaaS teams turn video into a revenue-driving machine, with less than 2 hours a week from your team.

Here's what that looks like in practice:
→ Your sales team stops explaining the same thing 100x, because the content already did it
→ Your brand starts showing up in the feeds of people you want to close
→ Your pipeline fills with pre-educated prospects who already understand your value
→ Your content directly drives demos and closes deals, not just brand awareness

We don't make content for likes. 

We build systems that create leads, educate buyers, and position your company as the no-brainer choice.

We partner with B2B SaaS companies that have:
✅ $10M+ in Annual Recurring Revenue
✅ A Marketing and Social Team
✅ Camera-ready talent

Things we've done:
→ Okta: Built multiple video series → 20K subs + 1,000s of DevDay signups in months
→ Reveal: Built 4M+ organic impressions in new markets, resulting in acquisition by competitor
→ Nearbound: Reduced sales time to close by 50% with several targeted video series
→ Nice Commerce: 482% subscriber growth + multiple 5-figure deals through video content
→ A2 Media: Tripled inbound leads with audience-first video edutainment strategy

(We're also trusted by brands like, Chili Piper, Close, Openphone, and Sendoso).

Simply put: when you work with us, you won't need to explain your value on a sales call ever again. Your content does the selling.

Ready to turn your video strategy into content that actually drives results? Book a call with me.

Things I’ve actually heard on calls as a Black guy in tech:

“You’re so well spoken.”
“You don’t act Black.”
“I don’t see colour.”
“Do you actually talk like this all the time?”
"You're so professional."
“Was it hard growing up in Africa?”
“Is your dad in your life?”
“You like basketball, right?”
“How old are you? Wow, haha. You know what they say, black don’t crack”
”What’s good my brotha?”
“Word up, King”
“You’re one of the good ones.”
“You’re a fan of [insert rapper], right?”

If you’re on a call with someone and you catch yourself trying to confirm preconceived notions you have, please apologize and then hang up.

Our Videos Kick Ass for SaaS | We run your video marketing; you win more customers | 550+ videos created for clients.

It took me 11 years, and 14 attempts to build a great business.

Because sometimes that’s how long it takes.

We’re all obsessed with the idea of becoming an overnight success.

But we don’t put ourselves under that kind of pressure in 99% of other contexts.

As a baby, you didn’t learn to walk overnight.
You don’t learn a new language overnight. 
You don’t heal from heartbreak overnight.
You don’t recover from botching a magic trick in front of 3.1M people on national TV overnight (just me?)

So why do we expect to build the perfect business overnight?

Here’s what my journey actually looked like:

2014: Dreamed of being an entrepreneur.
2015: Pitched on Dragons’ Den Canada (got rekt).
2016: Got my Masters in Entrepreneurship.
2016: Realized I didn’t know anything about business → went corporate.
2020: Realized most businesses don’t know anything about business.
2020: 9 failed side hustles.
2020: First semi-successful one.
2021: Second semi-successful one.
2022: Burned out → quit everything → hauled ass/ran away to Mexico.
2023: Tried corporate again → remembered it sucks → quit in 4 months.
2023: Started a new business → Signed my first client → Became a full-time contractor.
2024: Signed more clients.
2025: Built a lifestyle business that lets me actually enjoy my life.

Took a minute, huh?

It makes me sad to see brilliant people give up on their ideas because they feel like it’s “taking too long.”

If you knew you were weeks away from a breakthrough that changed everything, would you keep going?

Probably.

So operate like you are.

Stay open-minded.
Talk to the right people.
Test things fast.

And don’t quit just because your timeline isn’t working out. 

Because it never does.

I’m excited to announce that I unknowingly am the engineer behind seamless payments millions rely on EVERY year. 

P.S. If you think we look alike, yes, you’re racist.

is anyone else's wrapped like, wayyyy too accurate??? 😅

A2 Media Wrapped (2025)

This is my latest masterpiece. 

No editing needed. For two reasons:

1. The subject Maggie Arai is stunning.
2. The sunset is also stunning.

In that order.

If you’re not following Maggie or that sunset on LinkedIn already, you’re missing out on peak vibes.

Why?

Just trust me bro.

📍Bangkok, Thailand.

P.S. I’m writing this post while on the back of a motorcycle to prove that I’m a local now (proof in the comments).

Today, I realized my old profile picture didn’t do A2 Media justice.

That’s why I spent $14.7M on a brand refresh.

I’m so excited to introduce: “i see u”

A profile picture that visually represents the watchful eye A2 Media keeps over all of your video marketing operations when we work with you. 

P.S. We’re now looking to raise a $14.8M round. My DM's are open.

In 2020, I started learning Japanese with one goal in mind.

Pull the world’s most epic prank on my friends. 

My plan was flawless: 

Step 1: Learn Japanese in secret for 1 year. 
Step 2: Host a big birthday party/gathering. 
Step 3: Fake a dramatic tumble and hit my head.
Step 4: Wake up “forgetting English” and only speaking fluent Japanese.

So I got to studying.

One week became a month.

A month became six months.

A year passed, and I still couldn’t speak Japanese even a little 😂

At that point, I gave up on learning in secret and decided to learn in public instead.

(That’s how I keep myself accountable. Tell as many people as possible about my goals).

Four years in, I finally felt comfortable speaking Japanese, joking, teasing, messing around… the way I do in English.

And once I realized I could finally express myself the way I wanted in Japanese, I chose a new goal…

Mess with as many Japanese teachers as possible. 

With card magic of course. Nothing crazy.

I mean, it’s only fair right? 

I couldn’t mess with my friends in 2020. Someone has to pay.

Learning Japanese has been one of the most humbling journeys of my life.

And there will always be things I need to learn.

That said, if I’m going to keep going, I might as well have fun with it - right?

Enjoy the video :). 

P.S. If you speak Japanese, DM me! Would love to chat with you 😁

My Fiancée (Maggie) is kicking me out of the house.

And the reason is pretty stupid if you ask me.

Picture this:
You've just had an amazing breakfast.
You're co-working at the same table as the love of your life.
The sun is shining.

And then *boom* you get a calendar invite.

All it says is, "Mastermind dinner."

And you think to yourself, "Omg, is this a date night where we talk about our business goals for 2026?" 😍

“What should I wear to this? I’m so excited!” 

Just as your heart is swelling with excitement she looks at you and says...

Her: “Did you get my invite?”

Me: “Yes, my love - I did! Where do you want to go to chat about our goals?”

Her: 😬

Me: “What’s up?”

Her: “Actually, this is a dinner I’m hosting for the ‘Founders who give a F*ck’ group. Are you able to find something else to do that evening?”

Welp.

So, the thing is… I’M not allowed to go. 

But if you’re reading this - there’s a chance that you're allowed to.

This is an exclusive group for founders that:
1. Have a mission-driven business (think: making people's lives better)
2. Believe in collaboration over competition
3. Know the best way to grow is with support and community 

It’s happening on December 17th, at MY HOUSE at 6:30pm.

Will someone let me know how it was?

I will be at Chipotle.

P.S. Even if you don't live in Toronto, apply for future versions. They'll be online, and I STILL won't be invited to those apparently.

If you want to 493x your leads INSTANTLY, start shitposting.

I’m half-joking, but we’ve had a big surge in inquiries recently.

Many of which came in while I’ve been on vacation posting about:

→ Being terrorized by a symphony of farts on a 14-hour flight to Hong Kong.
→ Spending $14.7M on an awful rebrand (peep my profile photo).
→ Announcing that I’m quitting A2 Media to live in the forest amongst elephants.

Is everyone ok?

On a serious note: We’ve now got twice as many inquiries as we’re able to take on through the first quarter of 2026.

So I thought to myself, why not make it THREE TIMES AS MANY? 😈

….

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be choosing the best-fit partners to work with. 

The ones who want to experiment, test fast, build momentum, and are genuinely ready for a serious video engine.

We’re not for people who want one-off videos, are chasing virality, or think AI-generated can fully replace a real content strategy.

But if you’ve ever caught yourself thinking:

→" People still don’t ‘get’ what we do.”
→ “Our content should be driving way more pipeline than it is.”
→ “We don’t have the time or team to do this properly.”

Or if you’ve ever wished buyers would show up already sold because your content did the heavy lifting...

Then this is for you.

What you're likely missing is a video strategy rooted in customer research, and a team that can run it and evolve it for you, consistently.

That's what we do.

👉🏿 Work with us: www.a2media.ca

P.S. Want to see some of our enterprise clients and results? Link in bio.

P.P.S. Shitposting is not actually a strategy. But showing you have more than one dimension as a brand *is*.

is this person making fun of me? I can’t tell.

I just learned a new magic trick. Thoughts?

Jokes aside, A2 Media’s tech stack and offer is about to be insane.

So what does that mean for our clients?

We’ve spent years mastering visual storytelling, editing, and all the invisible things that actually make viewers pay attention and learn to trust you.

Now combine that with AI tools that help us lean into those strengths and create more efficiently?

Things are about to get really interesting.

If you're looking to hit the ground running with video content that not only looks amazing, but actually wins customers, you're going to want to work with a team that’s done this many, many times before.

You need to make videos that position your brand as the obvious choice. 

Work with us 👉🏿 https://www.a2media.ca/

We’ve had a massive surge in inquiries this quarter, and we won’t be able to take everyone on. We’ll be choosing best-fit partners over the next couple of weeks.

Passive-aggressive comms are what I hated most about corporate.

So I don’t tolerate them anymore.

Most issues take a few minutes to resolve.

They only drag on when people avoid being direct.

I’ve found that this one question either clears the air instantly, or reveals exactly the kind of person you’re dealing with.

Other bangers🔥 🚀🧨:	
“Are you having a bad day?”
“Do people normally let you talk to them like this?”
“I hate you”

(Okay, I don’t actually use those last two because they’re not productive 😂)

All I’m saying is, be direct, and be helpful where you can. 

But if you’re being an unhelpful jerk because you're having a bad day...

Be better.

The last 5 weeks have been unreal.

From chilling in Hong Kong, to spending time with half of my insanely talented team in Cebu, to hanging out in my favourite city in the world, Bangkok, and even attending one of my best friend's weddings while I was there.

I couldn't have asked for a better reset. 

However, going from paradise and perfect weather to SNOW AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN CANADA HAS BEEN HARROWING.

WHY DOES ANYBODY LIVE HERE? EXPLAIN IT TO ME.

Anyways, Bangkok, I'll see you again in April :).

And who knows, we just might end up staying there long term 😉.

P.S. I need all of you to help me convince our families to move there. Petition coming soon.

Last week, I spent $14.7M on a company rebrand.

This week, I’m quitting A2 Media to live amongst elephants in Thailand.

Jude, Patricio, if you’re reading this - split the company 50/50.

My lawyers will be in touch.

If you have questions and you need to contact me, don’t.

I’m one with the forest now.

Running away from my problems in Canada, part 2.

I finally got to meet part of my team in the Philippines! 

And somehow they’re even cooler in person.

Of my 5 weeks in Asia, the three days we spent together were among the most memorable.

We all flew to Cebu, grabbed a beautiful villa-like Airbnb, and just… vibed.

Sun, food, stories, dancing, laughs. The good life.

I mean, look at how much fun we had together 😌

Your team is one of the most important, if not THE most important decision you’ll make for your business.

If you can find insanely talented people who are also genuinely good human beings, you’ll build things that you didn’t think were possible. 

We wouldn’t be anywhere without you guys, and I’m very grateful and blessed to have you. 

I miss you guys already. 

Let’s make 2026 our best year yet. 

P.S. Patricio Londaits, Jude A. Alonso, and Noel, you’ll be at our next retreat, yeah? 😁

PSA: Take a sec to slow down please. Do you like sunsets?

Cool. Take a sec to watch one with us, then go about your day :).

You don’t need to quit your job to start a business.

I didn’t. And it made me a better founder.

I spent 8 years working in tech while trying (and “failing”) 13 side hustles.

Because sometimes you need to try a whole bunch of things before you see patterns.

And when you see patterns, you can start solving problems.

I mean, that’s all a business is supposed to do right? Please be patient with yourself. 

Sometimes it takes time to find the right idea, but that doesn’t mean you’re failing.

No knowledge is wasted.
Stay open-minded.
Keep learning.
Meet people.
Trust your gut. 

The opportunities will come. 

Just remember to be bold enough to seize them when they do.

P.S. This is me talking about my experiences at the re:create conference in Toronto. Are you coming next year? 😁

The point of a sales video isn’t to hype up your company.

It’s to change what your viewers believe. 

We all know hard selling rarely works.

And most teams are STILL hard-selling in their content… they just think that they're slick 😂

But c'mon, we both know that your viewers are smarter than that 😅

Sales videos that actually convert do these four things exceptionally well:

1️⃣ They speak to one person.

Not everyone, just your best-fit buyer. You’ve done enough research to talk directly to that person’s current reality. That’s the kind of magic that makes viewers say things like “This video is literally me lol” and then proceed to watch the whole thing. 

People love when things feel personalized, and when they come at exactly the moment they needed to hear it.

2️⃣ They meet your viewers exactly where they’re at now.

Their frustrations. Their confusion. The beliefs they’re holding today. The best sales videos start their scripts there. By showing your viewer that you understand them, and that you (or your customers) have been in their exact shoes, you build trust that you can actually solve their problems.

3️⃣ They break the misconceptions that keep people stuck.

Buyers need to see what happens when bad-fit paths are explored too. The tactics that flopped, the assumptions that weren’t true, the detours that wasted time. 

When you share the false beliefs you held (or your customers held) and how acting on them actually made things worse, the viewer feels their own beliefs start to crack. And once that happens, there's room for new beliefs in their mind.

4️⃣ They show what helped you and your customers change everything.

Once their old beliefs have shattered, you can show them a new path forward. A future your buyer actually wants. When people see their own story reflected throughout the entire journey of your sales video, they don’t feel hard sold, they feel understood. Then they realize something needs to change.... And that’s where you come in, my friend 😉.

There’s a name for this structure. It's called "The Epiphany Bridge 💡"

We implemented this about a month ago, and the results have been insane.

Our current hero sales video has a conversion rate of 30%.

So I’m sharing our full Video Sales Letter breakdown with you.

Because all of us deserve a sales video that actually sells, right?

Here's how you get it: 

→ Step 1: Tell me one thing you love about me in the comments. I'm a words-of-affirmation kinda guy.
→ Step 2: DM me. My auto-responder will send you the breakdown instantly. 

‼️ DM me before Saturday, December 13th. After that, the link disappears (My auto-responder only gives me 300 characters and I need that real estate for other things 😂).

Word of caution: Use this wisely. This is powerful stuff.

Are most Black Friday/Cyber Monday (BFCM) deals a scam?

If you don't think so, prove it: 

Link the most insane deal you’ve found this month in the comments👇🏿

Anything goes! Gadgets, subscriptions, kazoos. IDGAF. 

Let's all help each other out. 

This is all because I have a terrible habit of missing good deals, regretting it for a year, and then missing them again 😂.

NO MORE. 

I’ll start. A friend of mine told me about a ridiculous deal from Higgsfield AI. If you’ve been curious about AI video and you want to hit the ground running, try it out. It aggregates all of the best video AI tools currently out there. 

(This is not sponsored lol).

Link for the Higgsfield deal in the comments. 

P.S. If you’re the one running a BFCM deal, plug yourself below. 

P.P.S. I bet you're wondering who designed this graphic? It was me. I'm available for hire. Book me before my rates go up in 2026.
