Adam Hobbs is a award-winning filmmaker and multidisciplinary creative with experience in brand storytelling, commercial content, and traditional cinema platforms. His work has screened at Sundance, SXSW, and HotDocs. Selected works have been featured in The New York Times, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Indiewire, The Atlantic, and Vimeo for its Staff Picks.

With 15 years of experience, I bring hands-on maker film expertise to leading technology and consumer companies like Airbnb, Slack, Google, Starbucks, Pepsi, and Mizuno, creating compelling visual narratives that connect with global audiences. I excel at translating complex brand stories into emotionally resonant content, whether developing mobile-first campaigns, UI/content integration, or cross-platform narratives that scale globally.

My commercial portfolio spans diverse industries from technology (Airbnb, Slack, Google) to consumer brands (Starbucks, Pepsi, Mizuno), sports (Bauer Hockey, Indian Motorcycles), healthcare (Levine Children’s Hospital, American Cancer Society), and beyond. I enjoy a hands-on approach with deep production expertise across vérité documentary techniques, commercial production, and digital-first content creation.

During my time in Seoul, South Korea I was a founding partner at CONTENTED, an international boutique production company that specializes in features, music videos and commercials.
