ABOUT US
Uniting The Storytellers
Stories are what move us to action. They inspire us, challenge us and motivate us like nothing else.
A good story stays with you forever.
Our goal at Spexster is to unite our global community of storytellers. To connect exceptional
creators from all corners of the world, with the advertisers and producers looking to bring a vision to
life. From videographers to photographers, make-up artists to crew, the world of creators is at your
fingertips with Spexster.
Imagined and built by storytellers, for storytellers, Spexster understands the industry unlike any
other, resulting in a platform unlike any other.
How We Help Advertisers and Producers
As an advertiser, the last thing you or client wants is to use footage that someone has seen before
(or could see in the future). Your client’s brand and story is unique, and so should the content you
use to tell their brand story. That’s why Spexster doesn’t sell stock: we specialize in currated and
custom content fit for your brand that once purchased, is yours (or your client’s) and yours alone -
forever. Manage the entire process, including requests for work, negotiation, edits, payments, final
file delivery and more all on the Spexster platform. Tell stories more authentically with local creators,
and speed up the process overall with access to the world’s best creators: all just one click away on
our interactive Crew Map.
How We Help Professional Creators
Accepting only established, professional Creators, Spexster ensures that you and your work are in
good company. Professional and polished, Spexster presents you and your portfolio with the level of
quality worthy of your work. Whether you’d like to sell unique specs you’ve already created, accept
opportunities to create something new and specific to a producer’s requirements, create a concept
with an agency or brand collaboration, or pitch on a project - you can manage the entire process
including communication, contracts, revisions, payment and more all on the Spexster platform. We
make the business end of your world easy, so you can focus on telling beautiful and meaningful
stories in your area of expertise.
Founded by Storytellers
The founders of Spexster are Creators who understand both sides of the industry, which positioned
them uniquely to develop a platform that serves the interests of both Creators and Advertisers
simultaneously.
John Kubin is an entreprenuer with over 15 years of experience in the entertainment industry,
has a versatile skill setspanning performance, writing, production, and post-production. Among his
successes is a significant and ongoing career as an independent Voice Over Artist, where John has
lent his distinctive voice to thousands of national TV commercials, internet ads, video games, and TV shows.
Jed Williams is a passionate filmmaker, with over 15 years of experience working full time in the
entertainment business. While acting on network tv shows, Jed began learning the craft of
filmmaking and cinematography with on-set experience. He attributes patient DPs, who were very
open with their craft, with creating an obsessive artistic desire within him.
Together, John and Jed founded their own production company, Pretty Nifty Productions, producing
over 200+ commercials for major brands in just five years (while learning nearly every crew position
on set), for digital and national TV, short films, Network reality shows, and even the Super Bowl - all
stemming from their inception with self-funded spec ads.
Through this experience, John and Jed found themselves with a front-row seat to what it was like for
experienced and talented crew to be connected with quality projects, and likewise the challenges
producers and advertisers faced finding top talent to bring their artistic vision to life. Alternatives
were difficult or costly (for both sides) - and they knew there should be a better way, where talented
creators could sell their imaginative spec work without needing to be repped by an agency to do it,
as well as getting job opportunities from advertisers and producers looking for amazing work from
talented people they just hadn’t met yet.
And so, the idea for Spexster was born. A platform created by creators, for creators, to introduce
them to the world of producers and advertisers who want to find fresh, high quality talent not just
outside of their current rolodex, but from all over the globe.
