James Pattison has spent 15 years crafting stories that connect with people.
His experiences as a journalist (ABC, The Project), marketer (Monash University), podcast creator (Miniature), and law graduate have armed James with a unique arsenal to hone messages for audiences of all kinds.
"Most brands know how to push a message, but not tell a story," he says.
"Most journalists know how to tell a story, but not build a message. My job is helping you do both."
At Miniature, James works with brands and individuals looking to grow their public profile and become known as leaders in their field.
He’s worked with clients across a range of industries including advertising, comedy, executive leadership, academia and more.
Join James at an upcoming Podcast Launch Masterclass to take your podcast idea from ‘one day’ to ‘ready to launch’.
"This workshop is everything I’ve learned about crafting a compelling brand story on the mic," says James.
"I’d love to share it with you."

“For anyone in the seedling stages of podcast planning, particularly within an organisation where you need to build a case and secure resources, this Masterclass offers the kind of structured guidance that can save you months of false starts.
This practical grounding is invaluable when you're moving from "we should do a podcast" to actually making it happen within an organisational context.
I'd recommend this for anyone who needs to turn a podcast idea into a launch-ready plan they can present with confidence.

“What I love about working with James is that he’s not just technically brilliant - he also brings real emotional intelligence to the creative process.
For me, that’s meant recognising that launching something new isn’t just about strategy or structure - it’s about moving through self-doubt and giving yourself permission to create something meaningful.”

“It feels incredible to leave with a podcast title, a podcast summary and a rough outline of initial episodes and structure.”
