BEN HAWES IS YOUR BRAND NEW CREATIVE POWERHOUSE

You’re great at running your business—but you don’t want to be your own photographer, video editor, podcast producer, website site designer, or content creator.

That’s where I come in. I help freelancers, small business owners, and ambitious professionals show up with clarity, consistency, and polish—through standout photos, clean video content, and a strong digital presence.

I’m not here to overhaul your business. I’m here to make sure people see it clearly.

Your Work Is Great—Let’s Make Sure People See It

You’ve put in the time. You’ve built something solid. Now it’s about making sure people can find it, trust it, and understand the value—quickly.

In 2025, your digital presence is often your first impression. It doesn’t have to be flashy, but it does need to feel clear, consistent, and intentional. And yes—there’s research to back that up:

When your content and presence are aligned with the quality of your work, people are more likely to trust you, refer you, and reach out.

But This Isn’t Just About Photos & Instagram Posts

What we’re really talking about is how people perceive your services. Whether your work feels cohesive, whether your message is landing, whether your presence online actually reflects what you’ve built offline.

Digital content is the way we do that.

What I Can Help You With

You don’t need a full creative team or a long term contract with a creative agency—you just need someone on your side who gets it and gets things done. I offer content and brand support designed to help you show up clearly, consistently, and confidently.

Some Favorite Creative Engagements

To give you a sense of how we might work together, here are a few real examples of creative work I’ve done for past clients:

Michelle @ BAEM

Michelle brought me on for a monthly social media content engagement. Each month, we filmed speaking videos out in the park and at her office, and captured fresh brand photos for her Instagram, LinkedIn, and website. Michelle’s social pages saw a big boost — and we had a lot of fun along the way.

Danielle @ Badassery

I worked with the team at Badassery Public Speaking Platform to support the events side of the business. I handled the email invites, event landing pages, attendee lists, and day-of coordination — freeing up their leadership team to focus on connecting with members & growing the community.

Susan @ Loh Consulting

Loh Consulting Group hired me to design their new website on Squarespace. We talked through their vision, the feeling they wanted visitors to have, and the key messaging they needed to get across. The final product was a clean, professional site that feels simple, powerful, and true to their brand.

Katie @ Boss Bagels

With a desire to grow her online footprint and presence on social media and more, Katie hired me to train her in platforms like Instagram (algorithms, popular content, etc) and Canva so she could handle running her own social media accounts. Now Katie posts almost every day & has built an engaged community in customers.

A Bit About Me:

I’m Ben Hawes, and I’ve been creating internet content since I was fourteen years old in 2006—editing videos, posting to YouTube, and riding the wave of whatever platform was taking over the internet. That curiosity never stopped.

Since then, I’ve built and grown multiple creative businesses using content as the engine. I’ve gone viral on:

  • TikTok (5 million views on my highest video)

  • Instagram (2 million views)

  • BuzzFeed (300K views—back in 2014!)

I’ve booked comedy shows through Instagram, and I’ve grown my photo booth company—Rent My Booth—into a full-time business by showing up consistently online.

Here’s the truth:
It’s not really about going viral. It’s about consistency—in the quality of your content, and in how often you’re putting your work out there to be seen.

This stuff works when it’s done with clarity and intention. And I genuinely love it.

I stay plugged into what’s changing—whether it’s Instagram algorithm updates, TikTok trends, AI tools, or the psychology behind what makes a landing page convert.

If you need someone who lives and breathes this world, let’s talk.

Ready To Work Together?

I take on a small number of creative clients at a time—so I can stay focused, move quickly, and actually make things happen.

We’ll start with a real conversation about what you need, what you’re building, and what’s getting in your way. If it feels like a good fit on both sides, we’ll map out the best way to work together.

Ways we can collaborate:

  • One-time projects — like a website refresh, a content shoot, or a panel video edit

  • Hourly sessions — for flexible, as-needed creative work/training/digital clean-up

  • Monthly retainers — for ongoing content, events, and social support

Let’s Talk.

Drop me a message below with what you’re working on, and I’ll follow up with options that fit your goals and your budget.

Let’s make your creative idea real.
