About Us
McLaren Creative is a multidisciplinary production house based in Brisbane, working across film, television, and digital content. Founded by Jacqui McLaren — whose path from music theatre and acting led into journalism and communications — the studio began as a small collaboration during 2020 and has since grown into a full-scale production company.
Our team brings together journalists, filmmakers, and storytellers united by a belief that every story deserves to be told with honesty, clarity, and purpose. From branded films and documentaries to photography and social content, we approach each project with the same ethos: uncovering the why behind the story and sharing it in a way that inspires, resonates, and connects — frame by frame.
A letter from Jacqui
Hi, I’m Jacqui — Director of McLaren Creative. It’s lovely to meet you here.
My path to storytelling hasn’t been linear. I began in performance after graduating from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in 2015, but when the world shifted in 2020, so did I. I completed a Masters in Communications, specialising in Journalism, and quickly found myself writing for a country paper in the Scenic Rim.
It was there I noticed a gap: communities and businesses needed their stories told, especially online, at a time when connection mattered more than ever. Friends in the film and TV industry were out of work, so I brought the two together — talented creatives and people who needed to be seen. McLaren Creative was born.
Today, we’re a multidisciplinary team of journalists, filmmakers, and storytellers passionate about authentic narratives that inspire and connect. Alongside running McLaren Creative, I’m also one of Queensland’s ABC Weather Presenters, which keeps me close to the heart of storytelling every day.
For me, there’s always a why behind a story — why now, why us, why you. That’s what drives the work we do: creating stories that spark understanding, questions, and connection.
We’d love to help tell yours.
