Since 2016, in Brisbane

Claimfrost is a small studio with a stubborn belief in doing social media properly

Claimfrost started in a South Brisbane share office with two laptops, one camera and a growing frustration with how agencies treat clients. Nine years later we are a team of eleven, still small by choice, still answering our own emails. This is the story of what we build, who builds it, and why brands keep coming back.

Who we are

We grew slowly, on purpose

Claimfrost was never going to be a fifty-person agency chasing billable hours. The founders had both worked inside large agencies and watched what happens when growth outpaces care — juniors running accounts, strategy written by committee, and clients reduced to a line on a spreadsheet. So we built something different. We take on a limited number of clients each year, and each one gets a senior lead who is genuinely invested in the outcome.

That means saying no sometimes. It means turning down retainers that would have made the quarter look great on paper but would have stretched the team thin. And it means we can still look a client in the eye after a bad month for their brand, because we were the ones on the campaign, not a freelancer we subcontracted.

Our story

From a share office to a small studio with real clients

The milestones we actually care about, in the order they happened.

2016

Two laptops in South Brisbane

Claimfrost kicks off with three clients: a Fortitude Valley café, a fitness coach and a small fashion label. First shoot day happens in a client's backyard.

2018

First proper studio

We move into a dedicated production space, hire our first full-time editor and start taking on paid social work alongside the organic retainers.

2021

Creative team doubles

A content producer, community manager and media buyer join the team. Client list grows to thirty and the reporting system gets rebuilt from scratch.

2025

Eleven people, forty-one clients

We are still in South Brisbane, still small on purpose, and still turning down work when we cannot give it the attention it deserves.

Our philosophy

Four things we believe, even when they are inconvenient

Agencies love to talk about values, but what actually matters is how you behave when a client is unhappy and nobody is watching. These are the principles that guide us in those moments.

Honest first, always

If a campaign is failing, you hear it in week two, not in the quarterly review. Bad news early is worth more than good news late.

Boring consistency wins

Posting twice a week for a year beats one viral hit every quarter. We build rhythms, not fireworks.

Craft still matters

A hook is worthless if the edit is sloppy. We grade colour, check audio and obsess over the first three seconds of every video we ship.

People before platforms

Algorithms change every six months. Humans do not. If content does not speak to a real person, no platform update will save it.

The team

The humans behind your brand's content

Four people, one studio, zero account shuffling. You meet the people who actually do the work.

Client care

What it is actually like to work with us

Every client gets more than a monthly report. Here is the stuff that happens behind the scenes that most agencies never bother to tell you about.

  • A shared messaging channel with your lead, not a ticket system
  • Written summaries at the same time every month
  • Quarterly strategy calls with the founder, not a junior
  • Full access to your own platform accounts at all times
  • Flat fees, no percentage-of-spend kickbacks
