MOST PEOPLE KNOW THE AGENCY.
VERY FEW KNOW THE OPERATOR BEHIND IT.
Michael Hanson built his first creative agency from the ground up, scaling it past seven figures before most people in the space even knew his name. He didn't do it with hype or viral moments. He did it with systems, taste, and an obsessive attention to how creative businesses actually run behind the scenes.
Today, Michael operates at the intersection of creative direction and business strategy. He runs Michael Consulting and founded KLOUT, a private ecosystem where a small number of creative agency owners receive direct mentorship, operational frameworks, and access to a network that doesn't exist anywhere else.
He doesn't teach theory. He builds alongside you.

MARK ROLTON
RAGS TO RICHES
We uncovered the powerful “why” behind Mark Rolton’s success as a leading wealth educator. Growing up in a home filled with conflict over money, he made it his mission to break the cycle and build an education empire, teaching others how to create financial freedom.
Through in-depth interviews with Mark, his family, and his team, we crafted a film that doesn’t just tell his story, it sets the stage for his authority.
Today, it plays at every live event before he walks out, cementing his brand, growing his influence, and winning audience trust before he even speaks.
I DON’T JUST FILM STORIES. I LIVE THEM.
TURNING CREATIVES INTO CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURS
For 17 years, I stood behind the camera with some of the world’s top coaches, studying what makes a message land, and what gets ignored.
Then I stepped into the arena myself, building a consulting business that consistently scaled to six figures a month.
That success wasn’t the destination, it was the proof: story and strategy, fused, create predictable growth.
That’s when I realized I don’t just capture stories. I engineer them. I live them.
Coaching changes lives. It changed mine.
And it’s why I built The KLOUT Method that fuses Brand Story + Consulting, so elite coaches and consultants can leverage their story & personal brand to:
Scale to six figures a month
Elevate their status
Escape the commodity trap
Accelerate the sales cycle
This isn’t theory. It’s battle-tested. It’s my life’s work. And it works.

INVENTORS, INNOVATORS & VISIONARIES
STEPHANIE MASON. SHOWPONY
For 14 years, Stephanie Mason built Showpony from the ground up, turning it into Australia’s leading sustainable hair extension company. But behind the success was a raw, untold story of what it really takes to reshape how an entire market perceives beauty.
We captured that journey in a brand documentary that revealed the truth behind the brand, not just the polished surface, but the grit and innovation that made Showpony what it is today.
The film became the tip of the marketing spear for Showpony’s expansion into Europe. It established Stephanie’s authority on the global stage before she even stepped onto it deepening trust in the brand and positioning her as a leader driving innovation in the industry.

A POWERFUL BRAND STORY FOR A CONSULTANT THAT IS TRULY MOVING PEOPLE & CHANGING LIVES.
DARYL GREEN.
TWICE SHOT
When police officer Daryl Green came to us for a standard speaking reel, our pre-production uncovered something deeper, a story of overcoming the odds & raw determination.
Shot twice in the line of duty, Daryl survived, but was left battling PTSD and the crushing pressure to “conform” to societal norms. His story wasn’t just about survival. It was about resilience, stigma, and the silent battles many never see.
Instead of producing a generic reel, we created a powerful film on suicide prevention that gave voice to an issue rarely discussed in authority circles. Released across national TV and major news outlets, the story sparked nationwide conversation.
Weeks later, Daryl was invited to Parliament House to share his journey. Today, as an ambassador for Lifeline, he uses that same film as a platform, connecting with thousands and opening doors to speaking opportunities that change lives.
