Avery Obeng's Web Resume
​From newsroom deadlines to forklift logistics to running my own creative agency—my path has been anything but linear. What started with a film diploma in Ontario has turned into a career built on clarity, storytelling, and strategy. Scroll down to see how I’ve applied those skills across media, marketing, and mission-driven work.
Obeng Creative (2021 - Present)
Videographer & Digital Marketer
(Kansas City, Missouri)
I launched Obeng Creative in 2021 after leaving my role as a Videographer and Broadcast Director at ABC22/Fox44 and relocating to Kansas City. Obeng Creative is my solo videography and digital marketing service, built on story-driven strategy and empathy-infused content that earns trust and drives visibility. I serve small businesses, independent artists, and nonprofit organizations ready to establish a strong, credible digital presence.
EXCELLERATE (2023 – 2025)
Material Handler
(Kansas City, Missouri)
I joined Excellerate, a division of Faith Technologies Inc., in 2023 as a Material Handler supporting high-volume, multi-site industrial construction projects. In this role, I operated forklifts and reach lifts to manage logistics, staging, and material flow, ensuring timely delivery and accuracy in inventory handling. I collaborated closely with field teams and warehouse staff to streamline operations, support production, and contribute to safe and efficient project execution in a fast-paced environment.
ABC22 / FOX44 (2019 – 2021)
Videographer & Broadcast Director
(Burlington, Vermont)
As a young videographer and broadcast director at ABC22/Fox44, I cut my teeth covering some of the most defining stories of a generation—including the COVID-19 pandemic, the nationwide George Floyd protests, and the 2020 presidential election. I learned how to move fast, think clearly, and make editorial decisions in real time. Whether I was solo on a scene gathering video for breaking news or in the control room helping bring a newscast together, I developed a deep respect for the pace, urgency, and purpose of local journalism. That time taught me how to tell meaningful stories under pressure, work across teams with clarity, and show up every day ready to earn trust with the audience and my newsroom.
SAULT COLLEGE (2017 – 2019)
Diploma in Digital Film Production
(Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario)
At Sault College, I studied the full spectrum of digital storytelling—from camera operation and video editing to scriptwriting, lighting, and post-production. The program gave me my foundation in visual media and taught me how to think like a director, shoot like an editor, and communicate with clarity. It was there I realized that compelling stories don't just look good—they connect, inform, and move people.
