The person behind the work
A strategist who shoots, and a photographer who thinks.
Most businesses hire a consultant to make the plan, then a photographer to execute it, and hope nothing gets lost between them. I’m both.
I started in marketing, learned that great strategy dies without great visuals, and picked up the camera to close the gap. Today I help Vancouver’s small businesses and founders grow with one cohesive approach: the thinking and the production, from the same hands.
Client story
“Michael has been doing promotional work for our firms, We Wash Victoria and Be My Guest in BC, a wash-dry-and-fold laundry service and a property rental service. In this past year alone he has doubled our occupancy. Before Michael, we were using high-end advertising and adding 2 or 3 new clients per month and now he’s bringing in just over 20 per month and has more than doubled our laundry clientele. He is personable, efficient and has great marketing ideas. I highly recommend Michael Gamboa and his services through The Marketer Guy.”Don · We Wash Victoria & Be My Guest in BC

How I think
Strategy you can see.
Good strategy isn’t a deck that sits in a drawer. It becomes real assets: images, video, a brand people remember.

Plan
Positioning, messaging and a content plan: what to say and where it earns attention.
03
Produce
I shoot the photography and video the plan needs. No handoff, no gap.
Case snapshot
Polystar Tennis Canada: breaking into the market.
Polystar set out to enter Canada’s tennis-string market from the ground up. We built the brand positioning and produced the product photography and content to launch it, establishing Polystar as a serious new name on Canadian courts.
