Not a referral deal.
A partnership.
We pay 10%–15% on every project you send our way. But honestly, the commission structure is the least interesting part of what we're proposing.
We film content for your channels, run workshops for your clients, and send real work back your way. All of it at no cost to you.
Earn more as you refer more.
Our average project starts at $8,500. Ten percent of that is $850 — before you've sat in a single meeting. The rate climbs from there.
Recurring commission on retainer clients.
Most programs pay you once and move on. If the client you refer goes onto a monthly retainer with us, you earn 5% every quarter for as long as they stay active — no cap, no sunset. When they leave, payments stop the following quarter. One introduction can genuinely pay out for years.
One-off commissions paid 30 days after the client's deposit invoice is settled and contract is signed. Quarterly retainer payments go out on the 1st of each quarter. You invoice us before payment is released.
We invest in you, not just the other way around.
The commission is the floor. Everything below comes with the partnership — delivered by us, at no cost to you.
Referrals back to you
Every client we onboard who needs marketing, PR, consulting, social media, or digital strategy gets introduced to our partner network first. Not as a courtesy — it's tracked and logged, same as the commissions we pay out.
Free workshops for your client base
We come to you and run a workshop for your clients — no charge, no pitch, just useful content. Your clients learn something. You get the credit for organising it. Any leads that come out of the session are tracked; referral commissions apply.
Three ready-made emails for your list
In your first three months, we write one email per month that you can send straight to your database. We ask for your tone, write to your audience, and make sure it's actually worth reading — not just a soft pitch for Unreal Media at the bottom.
Trusted partner profile and social feature
You get a real profile on our website — logo, description, services, direct link — plus a Business Spotlight post on our LinkedIn and Instagram. We write it, you approve it, we post it to our audience.
Guest post — we write it, you publish it
We write a 900–1,500 word article for your blog, built around a topic that's genuinely useful to your audience. Proper H2/H3 structure, real proof, named examples, and a clear authorial point of view — not a filler piece. In return, you write a feature about Unreal Media on your site (or we draft it for you to approve).
Partner resources you'll actually use
We put together practical tools to help you spot referral opportunities and give your own clients better advice. Not brochures. Stuff you'd actually pull up in a client meeting.
Tier progression & rewards
Each tier is locked in for two years from the date your qualifying referral hit that threshold — so there's no pressure to keep referring just to hold your rate. At Gold we gift you and feature you publicly. At Elite we produce a half-day shoot for your business, one 60–90 second video. At Champion — 20+ referrals — we fund a trip up to $5,000. Flights, accommodation, wherever you want.
One email. That's the whole job.
You make the introduction. We handle the sales conversation, the production, and the client relationship from there. Then we pay you.
Spot the signal
A client mentions video, a launch, underperforming ads, or flat social content. That's your cue.
Make the intro
CC [email protected] on an email or forward their number. A two-liner is all you need.
We close and deliver
We handle everything from proposal to final video. You get a personal update when they book.
You get paid
10%–15% lands in your account 30 days after their invoice is paid. Retainer clients pay quarterly — ongoing.
"Hi [client], I wanted to introduce you to Jakob at Unreal Media — a Brisbane video production company. I've been impressed by their work and think it could be really valuable for you. I'll CC Jakob so you can connect directly."
"Hi [name], random one — have you ever considered getting professional video done for [their business]? I've just partnered with a Brisbane video production company called Unreal Media and I think they'd be a great fit. Worth a quick chat? I can make the intro."
"There's a video company in Brisbane I've just started working with called Unreal Media. Really high-end corporate and brand videos. If you've been thinking about getting proper video done for your website, social, or ads — it might be worth a chat. I can put you in touch."
7 signs a client is ready for video.
Most of the time they've already made the decision. They just haven't moved on it yet. Listen for these and you'll know exactly when to make the intro.
"We've been meaning to get a proper video made for our website..."
Direct buying signal. They've already made the decision — they just need a nudge and an intro. Refer immediately.
"Our social content is a bit flat — we're not getting much engagement."
Low-quality content is almost always the problem. Video is the solution. A natural, non-salesy suggestion.
"We're about to launch a new product / service / location."
Launch moments are the ideal time for a brand story or announcement video. Time-sensitive — raise it early.
"We're running Facebook/TikTok ads but they're not converting."
Poor video creative is a common cause. Better video = better ad performance. A direct, practical offer you can make.
"We have an event coming up."
Event videography and recap content is a core Unreal Media service. Often forgotten until too late — raise it early.
"I want to build a personal brand / start posting more on LinkedIn."
Personal brand video packages are a growing service. One well-made 'about me' video changes the trajectory of a personal brand overnight.
"We're trying to attract better clients / staff / partners."
A professional brand video communicates credibility instantly. The easiest case to make — just ask if they have one.
The 30-second pitch you can use on the spot:
"I work with a video production company in Brisbane called Unreal Media. They produce really high-end corporate videos and brand content — everything from brand story films to social clips. Their average project is $5K–$15K and they've helped Australian businesses bring in over $30 million through video. If you've been thinking about getting proper video done, they're worth a conversation. I can make the intro."
Your reputation is safe with us.
When you make a referral, your name is attached to it. Here's what your clients actually get.
Confirmed inbound leads before Christmas
One brand film. Auspac Solar went from zero video presence to 150+ confirmed inbound leads — before Christmas. The video is now their highest-performing sales asset.
Ongoing retainer across a national network
Fitness Cartel didn't just get one video — they got a content engine. Three years on, we're still producing across their national gym network. Eleven locations and counting.
Broadcast-quality brand content
Brisbane Roar needed content that matched their ambition on the pitch. We delivered broadcast-quality production that drove real fan engagement and kept the brand premium.
Revenue generated across the client base
Rhinomax's $230K LT Vantage camper launch film was picked up editorially by Australia's largest caravan platform. Across our client base, video has contributed to over $30M in attributed revenue.
Jakob started Unreal Media with one goal: make video that actually does something for the business paying for it. Not content that looks good in a deck and sits on a hard drive. Video that brings in enquiries, builds trust before the first call, and earns its keep long after delivery.
Six years in. 2,000+ videos. The brief hasn't changed.
He's directed brand films and product launches, A-League season content for Brisbane Roar, and social campaigns across South East Queensland. Three years and eleven locations with Fitness Cartel. The launch film for Rhinomax's $230,000 LT Vantage camper, which got picked up editorially by Australia's largest caravan platform.
"The client work has contributed to over $30 million in attributed revenue. Most new clients are referrals from existing ones — Resvita, Narellan Pools, CM Electrical. That's not an accident."
Jakob is on every project. Not overseeing it from a distance — directing it. You meet him in the first conversation and he's still there at the final handover. If you're partnering with Unreal Media, you're partnering with him.

An approved supplier to Queensland Government — a credibility signal that matters.
Brisbane-Based. All In-House.
Same city, same timezone. Strategy, filming, and editing by our team — no subcontracting.
Results-Focused
We ask what the business outcome is before we touch a camera. Every project is built to achieve something measurable.
Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne
We serve clients nationally. If your client is outside Brisbane, that's not a barrier.
Straight answers.
If anything isn't covered here, bring it up on the call. We'd rather over-explain than leave anything vague.
Alternatively, give them our number (1300 497 742) or the website and tell them to mention your name. Attribution is tracked from first contact and holds for 6 months — so even if the client takes a while to book, you'll still be credited.
Retainer commissions go out quarterly on the 1st of each quarter, for as long as the client stays active. No minimum — a $500 commission gets paid the same as a $5,000 one. Bank transfer or PayPal, your call.
The easiest clients to refer are the ones who've been "meaning to get a video done" for six months, who are running ads with flat results, or who have something launching soon and no content plan for it.
On tiers: once you reach a tier, that rate is locked in for two years from the date of the qualifying referral — regardless of how many you send during that period. After two years, if you haven't reached the next tier, you revert to the level your current referral count supports.
Either party can end the arrangement at any time. If Unreal Media terminates, commissions on already-qualified referrals (deposit paid and contract signed before termination) are still paid out in full.
Partners who send us work get priority when we're referring clients in their space. That's not marketing language — it's just how it actually works.
You get three edited formats per video: 9:16 vertical for Reels and TikTok, 1:1 square for LinkedIn and Instagram, and 16:9 landscape for YouTube or your website. No restrictions, no expiry. Both parties own their content outright.
If a client cancels after the deposit is paid but before filming begins, commission is calculated on the deposit amount actually received. If they cancel mid-project, commission is based on whatever was invoiced up to that point.
Retainer clients: if they leave, quarterly commission payments stop from the following quarter. Everything earned before that is paid out in full.
