Collins Media is the brainchild of Walter Collins, a young gun who cut his teeth in media with the BBC in the UK, then worked around the world for various agencies, networks and companies. Walt's commitment to regional Victoria is as strong as ever and despite successful Collins offices in Melbourne and Sydney, Ballarat remains at the heart of the whole company's production centre.

We specialise in television advertising and retail print campaigns. It’s the quality of our production and dynamic ‘grab the bull by its horns’ approach to media that makes us unmistakably a clear leader in our field.

Few regionally based media companies can boast a portfolio like ours. We’re famous for being slightly left of centre and we take pride in smashing the stereotype of the ‘typical ad agency bull-dust’! We also use that approach in our pricing structure so you’re never taken for a ride…

Our fearless leader [as he likes us to think] has hit the headlines on numerous occasions, from starting his own TV station at the age of 14, to winning awards around the world, to hosting international reality television shows.

We’re a friendly bunch, enjoying a brilliant work environment. There’s Jabob our designer, Tiffany our account manager, Bricky the web guy, Steve the editor… oh and Walt, the TV guru! (and owner).

We shoot in the latest HD digital technology and make things work to YOUR BUDGET and timelines. Not everything needs to be budget breaking. We are just as creative in our production techniques as we are in our campaign messages.. so you always know you’re getting the best deal.
