Maxwell Machoka
@maxwellmachoka
Senior brand creative specializing in multimedia storytelling and visual identity.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior brand creative with over nine years crafting multimedia content—film, motion graphics, photography, and written storytelling—that strengthens brand value and connects with audiences. I lead end-to-end creative production, from scripting and location shoots to animation and post-production, delivering campaigns and internal communications that drive engagement.
My work blends strategic communication and visual craft: I develop cohesive visual identity systems, produce documentary and promotional films, and write complementary articles and scripts. I collaborate with product and brand leads to translate complex ideas into human-centered narratives and mentor teams to sustain brand ownership and storytelling capabilities.
