Aaron Bernard

Aaron Bernard

Founder Spatial Media
Creative and Managing Director Spatial Media North America

Aaron is a creative visionary in the digital community engagement industry. Always several moves ahead, Aaron has guided Spatial Media's product trajectory and in his role as a founding director has redefined the way community engagement for infrastructure projects is carried out in Australia. The heavy use of interactive mapping, delivery of project videos in smaller bite-size chunks, 360º 3D virtual engagement rooms, and a rich analytics platform allowing clients to make informed decisions are just some achievements in Aaron's growing legacy. Now as Creative Director of North America, Aaron continues his strong belief that every citizen around the globe should have the right to engage on a project big or small, and once again it is his vision which has given life to Spatial Engage. His passion for bringing new ways of thinking to start-ups is not new, and Aaron boasts a rich history of successful work with Disney, US driver safety awareness campaigns and in the film and television industry.
