meet brad.
I’m Brad Russell, the owner of Adrenaline Design & Marketing.
I’ve been working in online marketing for more than 25 years and have helped 1,000+ businesses across Australia with their marketing, websites, SEO, Google Ads and online growth.
I’m also a member of the Australian Web Industry Association (AWIA).
I’ve worked in marketing agencies, I’ve seen how the industry works, and I’ve seen plenty of things I don’t like about it. That’s one of the reasons I started Adrenaline.
I’m not interested in BS marketing.
No smoke and mirrors. No complicated reports designed to make simple things look impressive. No promises that sound too good to be true. And no long-term contracts tying clients to me when they don’t want to be there.
I believe you should know what I’m doing, why I’m doing it and what you’re getting for your money.
I work directly with my clients, so you deal with me. There’s no salesperson, account manager and junior marketer sitting between you and the person actually doing the work.
I’ve had clients working with me for 15+ years, many of them without a contract. They stick around because they’re happy with the work, not because they’re locked in.
That’s the way I think marketing should work.
I’ve also built Adrenaline around fair, straightforward pricing. I don’t have a big office, huge overheads or layers of staff to pay for, so I can keep my pricing competitive while still providing the experience and expertise you’d expect from someone who’s been doing this for more than two decades.
Adrenaline has a 5-star rating on Google and Facebook, but I’m probably more proud of the long-term client relationships than any rating. A five-star review is great. Having someone trust you with their business for 15 years is even better.
These days, I work across Google Ads, website design, local SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, social media and AI/GEO optimisation.
My approach is pretty simple:
Understand the business. Work out what actually needs doing. Do the work properly. Track the results. Tell you the truth.
No BS.
no agency BS. just results.
Over the years, I’ve seen one agency after another over-promise results, under-deliver on the actual work, lock clients into long-term contracts, and charge ridiculous retainers while providing little real value in return. Fancy reports, endless buzzwords, outsourced work, and excuses when nothing improves.
That's why I aim to be everything an agency isn't. No contracts. No overpromising. No handballing. No BS. Just results.
"I was introduced to Brad as "Brad Google." With a title like that, I had to give him a call. It's refreshing to find someone in the SEO space with such massive integrity. Brad is approachable, knowledgeable, and credible."
