Commercial Production in Hamilton
A good commercial earns attention before it asks for anything. Billie writes and shoots ads that tell a short story first, then lands the brand and the offer clearly, in formats sized for TV, YouTube, Meta and TikTok.
Hamilton sits on the Waikato River about ninety minutes south of Auckland. The University of Waikato, a busy student population and the gardens and river trails make it a practical place to shoot and a growing place to make music. Billie travels to Hamilton for productions, bringing the full team or working with local crew depending on the job.
