Our Story

Adrian V King

Founder & Director

From animation studio to strategic partner

More than 20 years ago, Adrian King founded a boutique digital content studio with a simple goal – to do things better. Frustrated by the limitations of traditional production models, he set out to create a studio that valued fairness, creative freedom, and work that made a difference. What began as a boutique animation and video production company quickly gained a reputation for clarity, precision, and delivering results in high-stakes environments.

Over the years, the business has grown to partner with governments, research bodies, scientists, educators, and industry leaders to bring complex and often sensitive information to life. From explaining intricate processes, launching products and services, to supporting major policy rollouts, the work has always been about helping people understand, and act on what matters.

Redboat Ventures is a trusted provider on the Australian Government Creative and Digital Communication Services procurement panel.

The shift...

As the world changed, so did the role the business needed to play. The real value lay in working at the organisational level – mapping content lifecycles, understanding business cases, and aligning communication with strategic goals. Redboat Ventures emerged to take the role of partner: from simply delivering assets to shaping how content supports decisions, improves systems, and delivers measurable results over time.

Why now?

In an age of accelerating change, clarity is more important than ever. Emerging technologies, especially AI, are reshaping how information is created, shared, and understood. The vision – Expand Human Understanding – reflects both a long-standing commitment and a forward-facing strategy: to use creativity, technology, and strategic insight to make the complex clear without compromising ethics or trust.

The journey continues...

Today, Adrian leads Redboat Ventures as a strategic consultancy and production partner, supported by a team of experts in animation, video, AI systems, communication planning, learning and development, and organisational strategy. Together, they help clients move beyond one-off projects to long-term strategies – where every message serves a purpose, every asset has a role, and every story helps people learn and see more clearly.
