Michael M.

Associate Creative Director, Cinematographer, Photographer

I’m Mike, an Austin-based creative director, shooter, and editor who loves turning big ideas into engaging visual stories, all while utilizing AI-enabled tools to help get things done. Right now, I’m putting those skills to work as a Senior Content Creator at Indeed. My career has been a mix of agency leadership (ACD at Drumroll/BondX) and production house know-how (Creative Director and Cinematographer at Row One Productions). Because I can both lead the strategy and physically shoot/edit the content, I know what it takes to get a project across the finish line, whether it's a social campaign, a web ecosystem, or a feature-length documentary. Outside of work, it's pretty much all Formula 1, top 10 lists, and pastries. Career TL;DR: 🎥 Shot and edited a feature-length documentary 📈 Helped raise $4M+ for an Austin nonprofit 📧 Led design for Microsoft Store's CRM (campaigns scaled to 12M email subscribers) and helped launch 5 products 🎨 Art directed covers for Harper’s Magazine 🤖 Part of an AI enablement team to help streamline workflows at Indeed Let's talk about: Creative & Art Direction, Cinematography, Photography, Video/Photo Editing, AI-optimized workflows Brand Experience: Indeed, Prime Video, Amazon, Capital One, Microsoft, AMD, Bing, Xbox, LinkedIn, Church’s Chicken, Upliv, Expressable, HostGator, Epicor, Dell Children’s Medical Center, Center for Child Protection, Jacob Bromwell, Macerich, Certified Employee-Owned, Susan G.
