Michael Marchment — Senior Creative Lead
"A Brisbane designer that likes to wear many hats — so let's make fun happen!"
ABOUT.
Not just a graphic designer with a camera
Howdy. I'm Michael Marchment, a Senior Creative Lead and multimedia specialist with over 18 years of experience delivering bold, polished design across digital, print, and motion. I've led creative output for national firms, independent clients, and fast-paced publications, from large-scale brand campaigns to UI/UX interfaces, cinematic content, and print features.
I currently head creative at Acumentis Group as the sole in-house designer, owning the brand end to end: the design system and brand toolkit, a 0.9s speed index website, campaign and event collateral, and photo and video production. I also run my own studio, mmedia. My background spans hospitality and lifestyle clients like Rydges Hotels and Sails Resort, where I art direct shoots and deliver cross-channel campaigns on tight deadlines, balancing technical execution with strategic thinking.
