From the first brand film to the 30th podcast episode, here is how a single referral turned into one of our longest-running production partnerships.

Overview
Resvita is a trade business coaching platform based in Brisbane. Josh Waldrom, built it for tradie business owners who are good at their trade but struggling with everything around it: inconsistent cash flow, staff who need constant supervision, no clear path to growth. Resvita runs programs, live events, a private community, and the Handle It podcast.
Unreal Media has been working with Resvita since mid-2023. In that time we have produced brand story films, covered live events at Brisbane venues including The Glen Hotel, filmed workshops, built reel and social content, and taken on the Handle It podcast as an ongoing production. We are past 30 episodes.
I met Josh through a referral. We were producing video for an app startup when that client put us in touch with Josh. He came in as a single job. Two years later he is one of our longest-running clients and sends us his own community members when they need video work.
What Josh Says
“Jakob and the team have lived up to their name! Unreal. We have worked with them now coming up 2 years and they have really taken care of us and positioned Resvita perfectly through video media. From our website and brand story videos, capturing our live events and testimonials and now our Podcast. Could not recommend them highly enough!” – Josh Waldrom, Founder of Resvita
What We Have Produced for Resvita
Brand Story and Website Videos
The first job was the website brand film. Resvita needed something that told the story of what the business does and why tradies trust Josh to coach them. A written about-page was not going to cut it for an audience that responds to people, not credentials.
A brand film for a coaching business lives or dies on the person in front of camera. Josh is direct and does not oversell what Resvita does. That comes through on camera. A prospect watching the brand film forms a view on Josh as a person before they ever book a call, which is exactly what the video needed to do.
The brand story now sits on the Resvita homepage and has been running since we produced it. When Josh runs paid traffic, it is one of the first things visitors see. For any Brisbane business wanting to understand how a brand film fits into a wider video strategy, our video production Brisbane page covers the full approach.
Live Events at Brisbane and The Glen Hotel
Resvita’s live bootcamps are where tradie business owners come to work on the business side of their trade: quoting, cash flow, team management. We have covered events at two Brisbane venues: the main Brisbane event space and The Glen Hotel.
Live event footage does two things for a coaching business. It shows future attendees that this is a real room with real people getting real value, not a webinar or a PDF. And it gives existing members and alumni content to share, which is how this kind of community grows by word of mouth.
At each Resvita event we run a mix of documentary coverage and short structured interviews during breaks. People are more honest in the ten minutes after a session than they are when a camera is pointed at them cold. The result is footage that works as both an event highlight reel and as standalone testimonial assets.
Workshop Coverage
Alongside the bigger bootcamps, Resvita runs smaller workshops focused on specific systems: quoting processes, team management, cash flow structures. We have filmed several of these to produce content Josh can use outside the room.
Workshop footage has a longer shelf life than event coverage. A session on building a quoting process for a trade business is useful to Resvita members whether they watch it the week it was filmed or find it two years later through the podcast feed. It is educational content that keeps earning without needing to be updated.
Brand Reel and Social Content
Resvita publishes consistently across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Short clips that show what the business does and give people a reason to keep watching.
The way we work with Resvita on this is a hybrid model. Unreal Media handles all the high-production work: podcast episodes, brand films, event edits. Resvita’s in-house team handles the volume: daily social clips, shorter repurposed cuts, stories. We produce the master footage and set the edit quality; they publish at the pace the business needs without waiting on us for every post.
This model suits established businesses that have in-house marketing capacity but need a production team for the work that requires proper equipment and experience. The output quality stays consistent because the source footage and high-end editing come from us.
The Handle It Podcast: 30+ Episodes (and counting)
The Handle It podcast is quickly becoming the main long-form content channel for Resvita. We have been the production team from early in the relationship, covering the episodes with 3x camera angles and are now past 30 episodes filmed and delivered.
Podcast production is different to event or brand work. The set and camera setup have to be the same every episode so the show has a consistent look. Audio quality is not optional: a podcast where the guest sounds like they are in a car park loses listeners fast, regardless of the content. The interview environment also matters, which is why Josh opted to build a mini-studio at his office to keep the setting consistent and professional. People talk differently when they are relaxed, and you get better answers when the technical setup is not adding stress to the room.
We run the full production environment for each Handle It recording: two to three camera angles, professional audio, managed lighting, consistent framing. Each episode produces a full-length cut and a set of short clips for social distribution. Josh has built the show into a known name in the Australian trade coaching space, and the podcast is a big part of how Resvita brings in new members who find them outside paid social.

How the Production Partnership Works
Resvita is a good example of what a long-term production relationship looks like versus a job-by-job arrangement.
| What we do | What that means in practice |
| High-end production by Unreal Media | Brand films, podcast production, event coverage. Camera, audio, lighting, master edit. All high-production-value work comes from our end. |
| Volume editing by Resvita in-house | Resvita’s team takes approved footage and edit to produce the social content volume the business needs day-to-day. Output scales without production costs scaling. |
| Ongoing arrangement, not per-project | Josh briefs us on what is coming: events, podcast schedule, content needs. We plan production around that. No scope negotiation from scratch every time. |
| Embedded, not just contracted | We know the brand, the audience, and the tone. Josh does not need to re-brief us on who Resvita is before each shoot. That saves time and produces better work. |
| Referrals from the Resvita community | Because Josh talks openly about the production relationship, we get referrals from Resvita members and clients who want the same kind of video work for their own businesses. |
Why Video Matters for Business Coaching Businesses
Business coaching runs on trust and the industry is riddled with scammers. For example, a tradie spending real money on a program needs to be convinced of three things before they hand over their card: the person coaching them knows what they are talking about, other tradies have got real results, and the program will be worth the time.
Josh’s clients are investing $10k+ into his coaching with some spending over $100k, this means we need to showcase Josh’s business experience, having scaled other companies to 7 and 8 figures and one of his most successful clients being Alongside 365, a property maintenance company based out of Hemmant.
Written content in this space all says roughly the same thing. Everyone has systems, everyone has results, everyone has a community. What video does that writing does not is show the person. A brand film where Josh explains his view on what kills a trade business gives a prospect something concrete to form an opinion on. Event footage of a room full of tradespeople engaged and taking notes says more about social proof than any paragraph of testimonials.
After two years of work together, Resvita has video across every format the business uses: brand films, event coverage, podcast episodes, workshop content, testimonials. Someone who finds Resvita through Google, a referral, or a social ad can go deep before they ever speak to Josh or the team.
By the time they book a call, most of the trust work is done.If you run a coaching or service business in Brisbane and want to understand how this kind of production relationship works in practice, our video production Brisbane page covers what we do and the kinds of Brisbane businesses we work with.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of video did Unreal Media produce for Resvita?
Brand story films for the website, live event coverage at Brisbane venues including The Glen Hotel, workshop documentation, reel and social content, and the Handle It podcast. The podcast is the ongoing anchor of the relationship: we are past 30 episodes filmed and delivered, covering full-length episode production and short-form social cuts from each recording. Resvita is one of the more complete examples of what an ongoing production partnership across multiple formats looks like.
How long has Unreal Media worked with Resvita?
We have been working with Resvita since mid-2023, so past two years. The relationship came through a referral from another client. It started as a brand video project and grew from there into events, workshops, social content, and the podcast. Josh refers Unreal Media to Resvita members and clients who need video production, which is probably the most honest measure of how the work has gone.
How does the hybrid editing model work for high-volume content clients?
Unreal Media handles the high-production work: podcast edits, brand films, event highlight reels, colour grade, audio mix. The client’s in-house team handles volume output: repurposing clips, publishing to social, shorter cuts that do not need a full edit session. Resvita runs this model. We set the quality standard and produce the master footage; their team keeps the publishing cadence going. It cuts production costs without cutting the quality of the main output.
Can Unreal Media handle ongoing podcast video production in Brisbane?
Yes. The Handle It podcast for Resvita is the main example: 30-plus episodes, consistent camera setup, professional audio, multi-angle coverage. Each recording produces a full episode and a set of social clips. The production setup matters more than most businesses expect when they start a podcast. Inconsistent framing or poor audio drives audience drop-off faster than weak content does.
Our Brisbane video production team handles podcast production as part of the broader services we run across Southeast Queensland.
What results has Resvita seen from two years of video production?
Josh’s own words are the clearest answer: ‘Jakob and the team have lived up to their name! Unreal. We have worked with them now coming up 2 years and they have really taken care of us and positioned Resvita perfectly through video media.’ He covers every format: website, brand story, live events, testimonials, podcast. He also actively refers us to his own community members. There is no single metric that captures two years of work across that many formats, but a client who sends you his own clients is a straightforward measure.
How did the Unreal Media and Resvita relationship start?
Through a referral. Unreal Media was producing video for an app startup client who then introduced Josh to us. He came in for a brand video and has worked with us on everything since. The referral has now gone in both directions: Josh sends Resvita community members and clients to Unreal Media when they need video production. That dynamic, a client referring you to their own audience, is what a long-term production relationship produces when the work has done its job.
