Light Media

What Light Media does

Light Media Pty Ltd is a Melbourne-headquartered, privately held full-service digital agency operating across web design and development, digital marketing, app development, branding, and content creation. The firm was founded in 2005 and maintains offices in Melbourne (HQ), New York, and Auckland, employing 11-50 staff. Its technology stack centres on mainstream open-source frameworks — Laravel, Joomla, WordPress, and Drupal — complemented by a proprietary 3D rendering pipeline using WebGL for web delivery and VR/AR deployment via HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and mobile VR. Differentiated capabilities include photorealistic architectural visualisation, interactive virtual tours with object interaction, and 360-degree WebGL product rendering with AR placement, targeting architects, property developers, and product manufacturers alongside its broader SMB and government client base.

The company monetises through two primary models: project-based builds (50% upfront, balance within 30 days, two revision rounds) and recurring monthly Service Level Agreement (SLA) retainer packages with capped hours. Ancillary revenue includes per-project 3D rendering and bundled digital marketing (SEO, Google Ads, social, email). Distribution is direct — phone, website lead capture, and consultative scoping — with no disclosed channel partners. Notable customers include AusCycling, ACNEM, Andi-Co, CKI Group, Viking Ranges, Liebherr, OzHarvest, and AGA Living, spanning nonprofit, manufacturing, construction, luxury appliances, real estate, and healthcare verticals.

Light Media also operates FlexWeb Hosting as a preferred hosting sub-brand for client projects. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership transitions are disclosed; the firm appears bootstrapped and is governed under Victorian, Australian law with all pricing denominated in AUD. The company holds no listed patents, certifications, or formal awards in the source data, though it carries a 5.0 Google rating across 21 reviews.
