TikTok series makes headlines
How can Primo chocolate have 4.5 health stars when regular milk only has 3.5?
My TikTok investigation into Primo’s chocolate milk health star rating caught the attention of New Zealand newsrooms, earning a feature on Newshub, The Project, TVNZ’s Breakfast and 1News at 6.
I was also asked to write an article about the mystery for Re: News (an online news platform for young New Zealanders). Read it here!
Huh? Sorry, who?
Brad Hemingway! That’s me! Yes, this is me writing my own bio… cringe!
I’m a media Swiss army knife - award winning writer, producer, marketer, PR guy, TV researcher, studio floor manager, audio producer, presenter, video editor, director, graphic designer, and self-proclaimed journalist (well, anyone can be these days right?)! I do it all! I even made this website!
I’ve lived and worked all over New Zealand and the UK.
In pursuit of my ambition to see the world, I recently embarked on an extraordinary two year backpacking journey with only carry-on luggage: 🇳🇿🇦🇺🇬🇧🏴🏴🇺🇸🇪🇬🇮🇹🇩🇪🇫🇷🇳🇱🇬🇷🇹🇷🇨🇭🇵🇹🇮🇸🇨🇿🇮🇪
Currently based in New Zealand. Aged 27. And *sigh* single.
“Genius writing!”
“Hilarious!”
“God, he’s good!”
“Passionate!”
“We want you to stay!”

Ali & Gab wins Best Children's Programme at NZ Radio Awards 2022
I wrote Ali & Gab as a series within Suzy Cato’s children’s radio show. It’s about two kids with a magical time travelling cupboard under the stairs. They are transported to significant moments in New Zealand history. The first series was a finalist in the 2020 NZ Radio awards. The second series won Best Children’s Programme in the 2022 NZ Radio Awards!
The series was later republished as a feature in the podcast ‘Suzy & Friends in a POD-Cast’, which won ‘Best Children’s Programme’ in the 2025 New Zealand Radio & Podcast Awards!

Saving Scotland’s wildlife
I’ve recently been working near the arctic circle in the Scottish Orkney islands promoting a world-first wildlife conservation project. The Orkney Native Wildlife Project is attempting the largest invasive species eradication in the northern hemisphere, and the largest on an inhabited island anywhere in the world.
With my versatile skills in marketing, digital communications, community engagement, graphic design, and video producing, I’ve helped this game changing project raise £4 million pounds, boost social media reach by 400%, and maintained a consistent 30% increase of new users to the website each month. I wrote stories promoting the project and Orkney’s wildlife that were picked up and re-published across a range of international publications (including the BBC network and National Geographic magazine).
Writing, producing, and presenting kids telly
I worked as a Writer and Researcher for TVNZ2’s What Now & The Feed. A gig that requires you to bleed ideas. I also produced, directed, and presented field segments, played numerous characters, floor managed the LIVE show, booked and liaised with guests, scouted locations, and performed as the iconic character Camilla the Gorilla! I was also a question writer for season 4 of the hit NZ kids quiz show, Brain Busters.

Radio, LIVE events, and promotions
With seven years experience in the media landscape, I’ve worked in several arms of the NZ radio empire, including producing show content, news, advertising, event activations, and music scheduling. Listeners across New Zealand woke up to my localised news, weather and traffic reports from 2017 - 2021. I hosted the Bay of Plenty’s local summer More FM breakfast shows in 2020 and 2021. I’ve been a technical producer for The Breeze Tauranga’s breakfast shows whenever they were LIVE on location. And I was a producer for Radio New Zealand’s flagship morning news programme, Morning Report in 2023.

I thought I should nab this domain name before someone else. There are a lot of us Brad Hemingway’s out there doing cool things! The Australian Brad Hemingway is in a rock band, one of the American’s manages a big car company, another mentors adults with disabilities into employment. All website worthy profiles! But to be clear, I’m the one from New Zealand.
