ABOUT US
Hello Media is dedicated to creating media that's ahead of the curve - often satisfying niches before they go mainstream.
We put our passion, integrity, and personal touch into every project we take on and every business partner we deal with. Most of our projects are both enlightening and entertaining and have one or more of the following components - self improvement, humor, education, strong story and life lessons.
The company got its name from the tried and true "Hello" phone greeting. Originally operating out of an apartment in West Los Angeles, Evan Aaronson saved costs by using one phone line for both his business and personal life. This way, when he answered the phone, "Hello", it could work for either one.
The formula worked, and since then, the company has gone on to give its soulful signature to website properties, music DVDs, documentaries, feature films and music. Along the way, it has worked with numerous high profile clients including Microsoft, Disney, Facebook, Paramount, Yahoo, Nike, Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Jane Lynch, U.C.L.A. and many more.
FOUNDER - EVAN AARONSON Evan Aaronson has over 15 years of experience with streamlined entrepreneurial ventures and is known for spotting trends before they hit the mainstream. After attending UC Berkeley and graduating from NYU Film School, he quickly became one of the pioneers in the fields of online video, music DVD documentaries and independent film. He even earned himself a gold and platinum record for |

producing Warner Brothers’ Maybe Memories for the band The Used.
His first feature, Nothing, was one of the first mockumentaries to be distributed nationally and not only earned him positive reviews from Roger Ebert and AOL Critics Choice, but soon became an underground favorite. It’s style was a precursor to reality TV. In an effort to marry independent films with strong brand names, Aaronson used his second feature, Baggage (starring Mariette Hartley and M. Emmet Walsh),to create the home video line for the publishing giant, Chicken Soup for the Soul.
During this time, he also worked as a writer/producer/director for shows like ABC’s The Bachelor and The Discovery Channel’s Monster Garage where he directed one of the highest rated episodes of the season.
When it comes to digital media, he has created quite a few niche directory websites including Web Show Central, Creative Outpost and Go Massage. Once called “The Starbucks of Massage” by Massage Magazine, Go Massage has thousands of clients as well as providers. It regularly appeared on the first page of Google for many key search words, and through the site, Aaronson also developed many technological breakthroughs like pay per lead technology and the use of texting in directories. Some of the more recent websites he has worked on are Meals with Mentors – a website matching mentors with mentees and Boomopolis.com - an advice website for entrepreneurs, small businesses and self employed professionals.
Aaronson has been featured on TV.com, CNET.com and the Virgin website.
His other interests include recording music. He even once had a song on a record with Christina Aguillera.
