Tom Shea | Producer | Photography

Hi.

I'm Tom.

Here's a sample of some of my recent work.

Creative, Strategic Storyteller & Builder

My professional title usually contains the word "producer," but my career has been much more. I'm a content marketing professional with more than 15 years experience developing and producing integrated content, stories and experiences for brands and agencies with creativity, ingenuity, advanced technologies, refined strategic framework and confident leadership.

From broadcast commercials, scroll-stopping social content, livestreamed events, feature-length documentaries, A.I. generative video, product launches, still photos, corporate storytelling, executive communications and more, I bring varied and eclectic background to teams with video, content and storytelling needs.

I help brands, agencies and teams understand what story to tell, how to tell it and where to tell it that best achieves our desired results. Whether it’s a multi-million dollar production, a shoe-string budget documentary, a photoshoot, a TikTok or a live event, I deliver the thinking and the leadership that ensures success.

I've partnered with brands and companies like General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Stellantis, Keck Medicine of University of Southern California, PepsiCo, Unilever, Nikon, Michigan Economic Development Corporation's "Pure Michigan" campaign, The Detroit Pistons, American Airlines, StandUp2Cancer and many more.

I produce editorial plans, operational best practices, branded content, scripted commercials, documentaries, photoshoots, music performances, livestreams and scroll-stopping social-first content. I find, manage, work with and understand influencers. I drive earned media coverage by supplying what major media, industry trades and online communities need to tell stories. It's not just the technical production skills but the strategic understanding of how to develop & how to publish content that has been the source of my success.

I am also a photography enthusiast and you're likely to see me toting around a camera almost everywhere. I love to capture scenes of the midwest, automotive culture and as many moments of my family as I can. I also run regular headshot photography pop-ups around Metro Detroit for anyone in need of a refreshed photo for social or business needs.

When I'm not working, I'm probably watching, discussing or arguing about movies, watching discussing or arguing about motorsports, chasing around my son Victor, daughter Zelda or perfecting my smoked pulled pork recipe.

Thanks for stopping by.

I'm more than a "content guy."
