Meet Adam Estrem, New Community Media Coordinator

Please welcome Adam Estrem as the new Community Media Coordinator at CCX Media. Adam has professional and nonprofit experience, and has already started meeting and working with Create volunteers. We asked Adam to write a letter introducing himself to you, and please mark your calendars for Wednesday, Feb. 26 for the first Producer Meetup to come say hello.

Hello everyone!

I am excited to introduce myself and share a little about my background. As a film school graduate with over 20 years of experience in television, marketing, and multimedia production, I have built a career centered on storytelling, creativity, and leadership. I have worked in a variety of roles, from directing live broadcasts at WCCO-TV and producing commercial content through my own company, Goodlife Creative Group, to leading video production teams for major brands like Polaris, Target, Slumberland, and Northern Tool & Equipment. My expertise spans project management, content creation, and strategic communication, earning me industry recognition, including an Emmy nomination.

Beyond my professional life, I am passionate about film and continue to shoot on film, keeping the art and craft of analog storytelling alive. I live in Champlin with my wife and two boys, embracing a life filled with creativity and adventure. I also have a deep love for music and enjoy collecting vinyl, CDs, and cassette tapes. When I’m not immersed in media, I find joy in the outdoors, especially camping and cooking over an open fire.

I look forward to the opportunities ahead and the chance to collaborate with others who share a passion for storytelling and community engagement. Please feel free to reach out—I would love to connect!

Best regards,
Adam Estrem
