Allow us to introduce ourselves...

We are a team of senior creatives based in Melbourne who have honed their craft from many years working in television and agencies.

Our many years working in television has gifted us with a trusted network of freelance camera operators, allowing us to extend our reach to manage content production Australia-wide.

Meet our Chief "Huggers"

Chief “huggers”, Anthony and Tanya, are responsible for Group Hug Creatives’ (nearly) ten years of success. Their unique combined experience delivers the expertise to lead and guide the creative crew.

ANTHONY

Anthony formed Group Hug in 2012, after 15 years working for television channels producing award- winning promotions, both in the UK and Australia.

His oodles of experience ensures he always knows how to capture attention, entertain, inform and delight. His warm and lovable personality means he is not only a delight to work with, but he brings the best out of talent when filming.

Anthony oversees Group Hug filming, production and editing of live-action video projects.

He is also a closet wine buff and lover of cord flares.

TANYA

Tanya has over 13 years’ experience working in marketing and PR related roles for television channels and PR agencies. She gets her kicks from making our clients’ dreams come true by nailing the right strategic and creative solution to the opportunity.

Tanya uses her organisational wizardry and infectious enthusiasm to manage the business and the creative team. From proposals through to project completion, for all of our animation & graphic based projects.

She is also mad for R&B Friday and a G&T

CLIENT HUGS

Group Hug delivers phenomenal content, providing quick & reliable service with a smile. Their thirst for understanding the brief, coupled with a consciousness of budgetary and time constraints, means they work with you as a partner rather than just a number on the client list. They truly are a dream team that consistently delivers an exceptional end product, so you can be assured they’ll knock any brief out of the park.

Group Hug Creative has been amazing to work with. They were super responsive and reliable to develop content in such a short space of time. The work that was produced was of high quality and I would highly recommend using their services!

When selecting suppliers to work with they need to have not only the relevant skills and experience, but just as importantly, have a personable and approachable working style. This is exactly why we choose to work with Group Hug Creative! Highly organised, creative, fun, and professional and they never miss a deadline. I consider Group Hug an extension of our communications team.

I have worked with Group Hug for years on projects ranging from ad-hoc videos to entire series, filmed across Australia. What stands out in working with the team is how easy everything is. They understand our needs and our vision, proactively seek to improve on every project, find and suggest efficiencies where possible and deliver without fuss. It is a true pleasure to work with the team at Group Hug.

A brilliant team! We’ve worked together on a number of projects and each time my expectations are exceeded. From filming on location to creating short videos incorporating a range of content, they are always professional, high quality, and fun! A truly collaborative approach to create the best possible product, every time.

The video looks amazing! Everyone is so pleased with how fabulous it turned out. Thank you Group Hug!
