A consultancy site where the credits do the convincing

Case study

Kaizen Media

Kaizen Media is a Melbourne consultancy across media, audio, music and talent, led by one of Australian radio’s most experienced content directors. It sells judgement, and judgement is bought on track record. So the site is spare: what it does, who it has done it for, and work you can hear.

  • The Kaizen Media homepage shown on a desktop browser and a phone, leading with a single statement of what the consultancy does.
  • The services section, setting out brand strategy, talent development and non-executive director work.
  • The partners section, a logo wall of radio networks, media brands and talent ventures.

The challenge

Consultancies with real pedigree often have the worst websites, because the principal is too busy doing the work to explain it. Kaizen Media's founder has led national radio launches, taken stations to number one, and built and exited audio ventures. None of that was working for the business online.

The site had to make three offers legible, brand strategy, talent development and board work, to three different kinds of buyer: media executives, talent, and companies seeking a director. And it had to do it without inflating anything, because the audience is media people who can smell inflation from the next suburb.

  • The Kaizen Media Services page on an iPhone angled among dark volcanic rocks, listing Brand Strategy and Talent Development.
  • The Kaizen Media mobile homepage on an iPhone set upright between dark rocks: a vintage microphone above the consultancy’s introduction.

Our approach

  1. Strategy

    Say less, prove more. The structure is a short path from what the consultancy does to who it has done it for.

    • A single-statement homepage that names the fields and the offer plainly
    • Services split into the three real engagement types rather than a capability soup
    • Talent and partners given their own spaces, since both are proof

  2. Design

    Restrained and typographic, so the brand names and the audio do the talking.

    • A logo wall of networks, brands and ventures as the centrepiece of credibility
    • Embedded audio demos, because in this trade the showreel is the CV
    • A layout that stays out of the way of the reading

  3. Development

    A compact Webflow build with structure where the content actually changes.

    • Talent held as CMS entries, so representation changes are content edits
    • A voice-imaging page with playable demos across formats
    • A spam-protected contact route straight to the principal
  • The Kaizen Media Current Partners page on an iPhone held up outdoors at sunset, with partner logos below the introduction.

Technical deep-dive

  • Proof you can press play on

    The voice and imaging work is presented as audio, not adjectives.

    • Embedded demos across imaging, podcast, commercial, narration and television formats
    • Brand credits listed against the work they belong to
  • A talent roster as content

    Representation changes, and the site keeps up without a rebuild.

    • Each represented brand or show is a CMS entry with its own page
    • The consultancy adds and retires talent listings itself

Results and impact

Homepage scores from Google PageSpeed Insights on 9 October 2026, which move a few points between runs. We publish no traffic or lead figures.

  • 96

    Desktop performance score

    Google rates anything from 90 as good. Measured on the live homepage.

  • 100

    Accessibility, best practices and SEO

    Full marks in all three of Google’s automated checks, on phone and desktop alike.

The consultancy now has a public face proportionate to its standing: quiet, specific and heavy with real names. A prospective partner can work out the offer in a minute, hear the work in two, and reach the principal in one step.

Key takeaway

For a personal consultancy, the website's job is to not get in the way of the reputation. Structure the offers honestly, put the credits and the audio where they can be checked, and resist the urge to say more than the track record needs.
