About Us

Our journey

It started with a simple but powerful idea

Kestrel Collab Media began with a simple belief: that every business deserves a powerful online presence. What started as two friends working through the demands of the startup phase grew quickly, and once our first client saw real results, word spread from founder to founder.

Today we manage social media for clients across a wide range of industries, from gyms and an automotive rally business to a magazine, a much loved local coffee shop and an events management company. Some of our proudest early work was helping a swim school grow its audience dramatically, and while that chapter has since come to a close, it remains a great example of the results we deliver.

Our success reaches far beyond any single sector. Through our sister company, KCM Events, we also specialise in one-off occasions such as major birthdays, weddings and vow renewals, and corporate events.

Our values

Being dynamic sits at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on adapting and reacting fast to whatever a brief throws at us, whether that's a full hour-long podcast or a 15-second TikTok. No two days look the same, and that's exactly how we like it. Our breakout teams stay ready to go, so when an opportunity appears, we move on it immediately.

Our approach

Speed and flexibility define how we work. We've turned around photoshoots on as little as three hours' notice, because our teams are primed and our process is built to just go. From strategy and content creation to scheduling and reporting, we react to trends in real time and tailor every piece to the brand and the moment. The result is work that consistently delivers, which is why our clients keep coming back.
