Work with
Our Past
History-led video content for brands, councils, museums and organisations who want to connect with audiences through place, memory and story.
Our Past creates short-form and long-form history content that helps people see familiar places differently.
Through researched scripts, location filming, archival material and clear storytelling, Our Past works with organisations to produce content that is factual, engaging and built for digital audiences.
Collaborations may include sponsored reels, commissioned videos, museum and heritage content, tourism campaigns, local history series, event promotion, education projects and branded storytelling.
Our Past has built a large and engaged audience across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube by telling Australian history in a way that is accessible, visual and grounded in place.
Our Past works with partners where there is a natural connection between the story, the audience and the organisation.
Short-form videos built around a relevant place, product, organisation or campaign.
Longer-form videos for councils, museums, heritage sites, exhibitions, events and visitor experiences.
Content designed to make collections, buildings, archives and historical places easier for the public to understand.
Location-based history videos that give audiences a reason to visit, explore and share.
Video content to support launches, anniversaries, public programs, heritage walks, exhibitions and community campaigns.
Subtle, story-first integrations where the brand supports the content without overwhelming the history.
Our Past has worked across public history, community storytelling, commissioned video, media and heritage interpretation.

Our Past is not a generic content page. It has a specific audience, a clear voice and a strong connection to place.
Every collaboration is approached as a story first. The goal is to create content that feels natural to the audience, useful to the partner and respectful of the history being shared.
A large Australian audience already interested in history, heritage, travel, architecture, local stories and Australian identity.
Calm, direct scripts that avoid overproduced advertising language.
Research, scripting, filming and editing can be handled in-house.
Partnership opportunities can be shaped around the story, campaign goals, audience fit and available material.
Depending on the project, output may include short-form reels, longer-form video, social cutdowns, still photography, written content, website content, exhibition or display video, interview-led storytelling, public history interpretation, campaign assets, or a broader content series.
