About
One person you call. A whole team behind her.
OM Consulting & Media is Amanda Pearl and the specialists she briefs. Five years of it, from a sole operator in Toowoomba to clients across Australia.
The short version
She has done every job she now manages.
Amanda started OM Consulting & Media on her own. For the first stretch of it she was the strategist, the person writing the posts, the one making the cold calls and the one sending the invoices, usually in the same afternoon.
That is why the model looks the way it does now. Doing everything personally has a hard ceiling. Hiring staff to sit between jobs has a cost that gets passed to you. So OM became a network instead: vetted specialists, brought in for the job they are actually good at, and one person holding the whole thing together.
What has not changed is that you get a straight answer. If your problem is not a marketing problem, you will hear that on the first call rather than after a quarter of invoices.
Amanda Pearl, Founder
Five years
How it got from there to here.
No overnight anything. Five years of taking on work slightly bigger than the last one and building the network needed to deliver it.
-
Year oneThe start
Sole operator
Amanda started out doing all of it herself: the strategy, the posting, the calls and the invoicing. That year is the reason she can still tell within one conversation whether a business has a marketing problem or a different problem wearing a marketing costume.
-
Year twoThe specialists
The model changes
Doing everything personally has a ceiling, and hiring staff to sit idle between jobs has a cost. The answer was a network: vetted videographers, editors, callers and designers, briefed and managed by one person. That is still exactly how OM works.
-
Year threeAny sector
Whatever the business
Trades, salons, storefronts, clinics, professional services. The work spread across every kind of business, and where a sector had its own rulebook, from NDIS to finance, learning it properly turned out to be a bigger advantage than any campaign.
-
Year fourBroadcast
Past the feed
Commercials made and placed, working alongside 7 Toowoomba and Ripple Media. Social was no longer the ceiling on what a small Toowoomba business could buy.
-
Year fiveNow
Australia-wide
Clients across Australia, six services rather than two, and a nomination for Business Woman of the Year at the Toowoomba Chamber Business Excellence Awards.
The network
Named by what they do, not by who they are.
These are real, vetted people, booked per job. We do not list them individually because the right editor for a TV commercial is not the right editor for a set of reels, and pretending otherwise would be the whole problem we exist to solve.
-
Camera
Videographers & photographers
Booked per job. A product shoot and a broadcast commercial are not the same person.
-
Post
Editors & motion designers
Cutting for where it is actually going, not delivering one long file and a bill.
-
Phone
Business developers
Real callers who do this every day, working a list built for your business.
-
Design
Designers
Layout, brand application and the assets that make a feed read as one business.
-
Media
Broadcast & media contacts
Relationships built over five years, which is why placement is a conversation, not a rate card.
-
Words
Copywriters & strategists
Writing in your tone, against the target agreed at setup rather than against a trend.
You never brief any of them. That is the job you are actually paying for.
How we work
The rules, written down before you ask.
Every one of these has come from a client who got treated badly somewhere else first. They are not a values statement, they are the terms.
- You own everythingaccounts, pages, footage and access, in your name, from day one.
- The honest read winsincluding the months where the answer is not what either of us wanted.
- One number, agreed earlynot six dashboards chosen after the fact to look good.
- Specialists, not generaliststhe right person for that specific job, every time.
- Compliance is not an obstaclein regulated sectors it is the reason clients stay.
- No lock-in you did not readthe term is in the proposal. There is nothing behind it.
- We will say noif a job is not a fit, you get told on the call, not three months in.
- Local, without being smallToowoomba based, working Australia-wide and beyond.
Locally
Toowoomba is not a postcode on the invoice.
Amanda is an active part of the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce and Women on the Move, and co-hosts Content Drop, an event for local business owners about getting content made and actually used. You do not have to be a client to come to it.
That community work is also where a lot of the media and broadcast relationships came from. Placement on radio and television happens through people who already know the work, which is a very different thing from cold-approaching a network.
Nominated for Business Woman of the Year at the Toowoomba Chamber Business Excellence Awards. A nomination, not a win, and we will not write it any other way.
Worked with
Questions
The ones people actually ask Amanda.
Is OM just you?
Amanda is who you deal with, every time. The people doing the camera work, the editing, the calling and the design are specialists brought in per job and managed by her. That is a deliberate structure, not a way of sounding bigger: it means you get the right person for the specific job instead of whoever happens to be on staff that month.
What is the award nomination?
Amanda was nominated for Business Woman of the Year at the Toowoomba Chamber Business Excellence Awards. A nomination, not a win, and we will not write it any other way.
Do you only work in Toowoomba?
No. Toowoomba is home and a lot of the community work is here, but clients are spread across Australia. Production days are the only genuinely location-dependent part, and those have run interstate too.
What is Content Drop?
An event OM co-hosts for local business owners about getting content made and used. It is not a sales funnel with a name on it, and you do not have to be a client to come.
Still deciding? The fastest way to work out whether we fit is a fifteen minute call where you describe the problem and get an honest answer about whether we are the right people.

What would you want to talk to Amanda about?
Then that is the call. Fifteen minutes, an honest answer, and no pitch if the answer is no.
