Raj Khushal

Notes

“In this age of hyper-specialisation, okay fragmentation, it’s reassuring to have someone who connects the dots. His name is Raj. He began his career in film and television and has been an actor, cameraman and editor. He trained in graphic design and multimedia and he’s in love with everything digital and social. In addition to being our resident go-to-guy for digital and video production, he’s the co-creator/producer/interviewer for accessgranted.nz a regular podcast on tech, social, start-up people stories and has his own youtube channel. With a unique perspective and enviable experience as a customer, supplier, business owner and solution provider, Raj is multi-lingual – he speaks Geek, Client and Agency and can translate one into the other. And how do clients feel about him? “Working with Raj has made me fall in love with my job again.” District Health Board communications manager.” As a Creative Visual Storyteller and content producer/director I solve problems, tell stories & make things happen. I have over 20 years' experience in all the creative arts including design, film production, content strategy, advisory, tech and also business. I can spot a story a mile away and have worked with many brands (and the people behind the brands) to bring their stories to life. If there's a way to do it, I’ll find it. I co-founded Access Granted, one of the best podcasts in NZ about tech, media, startups, and upstarts, where I honed my skills as a podcaster, presenter, producer, and writer. Currently, I work at HainesAttract, a unique creative team that solves the needs of organisations looking for talent. I use my passion and skills for visual storytelling to create engaging content that showcases the culture, purpose, and opportunities of our clients. I travel all over to tell amazing stories of talented people and how they make a difference in their roles and industries. I also mentor and collaborate with other creatives, and I'm always looking for new ways to innovate and improve our processes and outcomes. I'm in the 'life-changing' business, and I love what I do.
