Hi!

My name is Ben. Last name Hershey, and yes...like the chocolate. For many years my passion has been engaging people with visual storytelling.

I have worked with a wide range of clients to tell these stories. From documentary-style video pieces, to corporate testimonials and whimsical animations, I use multimedia to carve out unique brand experiences.

I work with teams to strategically tell a narrative that is impactful and mission focused. I look for challenging projects that can’t seem to find their voice, and empower them in sight and sound to reach their audience.

My experience is broad and diverse. From starting my own company called Zoom Detroit Studios in 2013, to contributing to Multimedia Strategy & Operations at Google, I have continued my passion for storytelling to this day. Recently my focus has been scaling my expertise to a global production team, while shaping multimedia's role in Learning Experience Design for Google Cloud.

When not working, you’ll find me traveling to the far reaches of the globe wearing a red (or chartreuse!) jacket. From the blazing sun of the Sahara, to the elusive auroras of the Arctic, I’ve attempted to document my adventures through photography. By shooting in some of the harshest conditions on Earth, I hope to inspire others to see the world, and play a larger role in it.
