About
Who Is Adam Ekblad?
Adam Ekblad in one paragraph
Adam Ekblad is the AI guy for business, based in Tampa Bay, Florida. He helps businesses grow through four pillars: AI and app development, websites and marketing, business consulting, and content and video production. He is the owner and founder of Hashtag Cinema, a video production and content studio he incorporated at 18. Before that work took over, he ran cameras on TV productions including House Hunters, Undercover Boss, and Monday Night Football.
Adam picked up his first camera at 13 and started shooting. By 18, he had incorporated Hashtag Cinema, the media production company that would become his training ground for lighting, pacing, and storytelling under pressure.
He studied marketing at the University of South Florida, then put that education to work as a camera operator on major TV productions - CMT music programming, House Hunters, 90 Day Fiancé, Married at First Sight, Undercover Boss, and Monday Night Football. Those years on set taught him how to make real people look credible on camera, fast.
Today, Adam teaches creators, entrepreneurs, and business owners how to build a personal brand with the phone they already own. His system combines AI speed with production discipline so content looks polished, sounds like the person making it, and earns trust over time.

Background
Three things that shape how Adam works
Scouting
Trustworthy, loyal, helpful - the values Adam learned in scouting still show up in how he runs projects, treats clients, and builds long-term partnerships.
Marketing
A marketing degree from USF plus real-world brand strategy work means Adam thinks about content as a business tool - not just views and likes.
Reality TV
Years on set for network productions gave Adam a level of on-camera production experience most people in the personal-brand space simply do not have.
