Global Headquarters

What Global Headquarters does

Global Headquarters is a privately held, Darwin-based video production company operating from a studio in Winnellie, Northern Territory. Founded in 1999 and trading for over 25 years, the firm delivers end-to-end motion media services including creative direction, filming, post-production (three editing suites covering motion graphics, colour grading, audio mixing and animation), outside broadcast, lighting and gaffer services, drone videography, ADR/sound recording, and a digital video network for IP-based live transmission. Its technical stack is built on professional video and broadcast hardware including RED Epic 8K, Sony PMW-F55 4K and PXW-FS7/FX6 cameras, TVU Pack transmission, Waves Soundgrid audio, and CASA-authorized drone systems up to 25kg with night-flying approval.

The business operates on a professional-services revenue model, quoting per project, with additional usage-based and hourly revenue from equipment hire (cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, support, VTRS, accessories) and studio hire featuring an infinity wall and green screen. Customers are predominantly Australian government departments and agencies, supplemented by enterprise clients in tourism, energy, professional services and events; notable logos include NTG, Tourism Australia, Tourism WA, Amazon, PwC, INPEX, NITV, MAGNT, Parks Australia and the Finke Desert Race. A sub-brand, Digital Motion, extends the offering into lower-priced social media content packages for businesses and creators, signalling a deliberate move down-market. The company reports 1,600+ clients and 6,000+ completed projects across its history.

Geographic reach is anchored in the Northern Territory for field production, with stated capability to deliver content nationally and internationally via the Digital Video Network, and an online website plus blog as the primary marketing surface. The firm holds CASA ReOC and Chief Pilot drone licensing, a strategic regulatory asset in the Australian market. No parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or external investors are disclosed, and the headcount band of 1–10 indicates a lean operating structure.
