Powdered oat milk — 2023

Nimbus

I was trying to pull everything together myself with various freelancers, but they were really helpful to bring everything together. With the copy, the creative and the editing… and we’ve had absolutely great results.— Founder
8xROAS on top creatives

We recruited engaging, professional content creators who produced unique concepts, styles, and techniques. Hundreds of pieces of footage not only accelerated ROI up to 8x but also built on brand identity and community. We experimented in the trenches when it came to conveying the right messaging for eco-friendly brands — and pushed volume on winning formulas to maximise returns.

Airplane accessory — 2018

Takon

Pushing that content into ads yielded a GREAT return, more than we were expecting.— Founder
4:1ROI on ad campaign

Takon was an international brand struggling to break into bigger markets like Australia and the UK. Their existing content wasn’t landing — so we rebuilt it from scratch. We broke down their audience by psychographics, identified different customer types, and wrote scripts built around consumer psychology: driving urgency, hitting real pain points, and creating relatable moments that made people actually care. Every ad sold the emotion, not the features — and it worked. The campaign cracked markets they’d written off, delivering a 4:1 ROI and a wave of high-value international customers.

Don't take my word for it

Hear it directly from the brands we've built content systems for.

What I do

01

Ad Creative

UGC, direct response, founder-led performance video. Built to stop the scroll and move product.

02

Brand Content

Client stories, founder narratives, brand films. The creative that actually makes people care about your brand.

03

Content Systems

One shoot, dozens of assets. No video ever made for one-time use. Repurposing frameworks that squeeze every bit of value out of all content.

04

Creative Strategy

Competitor audits, audience psychology, ad angle development. Research-backed creative, not guesswork.

About

Liam Thomson

I started in performance marketing at seventeen, working inside agencies and learning what actually converts. Bloated teams, misaligned incentives, junior creatives who've never spoken to the founder. Half the industry runs on templates. I couldn't be a part of it anymore.

I started Mates in Media to do things the way they should be done. One point of contact, psychology-backed scripting, and every piece of content built with a specific commercial goal. If it doesn't move the needle, it doesn't ship.

I learn your customer before I pick up a camera. Retention editing, re-hooks every few seconds, and every cut exists for a reason. If it doesn't, it gets pulled.

Everyone says they do things differently. My work is here.
