Over 20 Years Experience in Broadcast Television
Adam Hickson
Founder, Vessel Media
I started my career over 20 years ago working for Tampa Digital Studios, which at the time, was the premiere post production broadcast facility in the Tampa Bay area. During that time, I learned from seasoned veterans and became an Avid Media Composer Editor.
Next was working as Director of Post Production for Shark Tank's
Kevin Harrington. We created international branding campaigns that sold millions of products and resulted in billions of dollars in sales.
After that came a long stint as Producer/Editor at DRTV juggernaut Bluewater Media. We created global branding campaigns for Philips, Swisher Sweets, Kitchen Aid, Time/Life and many more. During that time we received 5 ERA (Electronic Retailing Association) Moxie awards for (our)
my work.
Now, as Vessel Media, I am a IMDB accredited Producer/Editor that helps to create captivating and engaging docuseries, reality TV, sports programming, personal branding, corporate positioning, commercials, films, music videos, direct response & more.
