About Rob Corso

In 2009, I built a recording studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It changed my life forever. Here’s how Timing is everything ⏰. I built that studio alongside a genius - Tom Camuso. In the 90s, when Pro Tools was new, Tom was THE GUY to install it in every major studio in NYC. He’s worked with more legends than I can count and has a couple of Grammys to boot. I met Tom when I was 25 and he recorded my band’s first album. One day he called me to come help him move some rocks at his new studio 🤷🪨. Tom taught me everything he knows - I mean, a lot of what he knows - all right, some of what he knows - which is still more than most 🤷‍. Together, we launched Brooklyn Post—an audio-first post-production studio where we worked on projects for Nike, PayPal, JetBlue, Samsung, MTV, and many others. Fortunately, on one project, I met the founders of the boutique travel blog Fathom Away. Because I asked very nicely, and they are very lovely, they began hiring me to travel the world making short films, writing stories, and taking photographs. In 2016, Dean & DeLuca noticed my work with Fathom and hired me to direct their Eden Eats video series and co-produce their acclaimed Prince Street podcast. For 3 years, I immersed myself in podcast and video production, working on segments with icons Anthony Bourdain, Jamie Oliver, John Malkovich, Scarlett Johannson, and many others. It was an education in storytelling. The host of Prince Street? Howie Kahn— another genius who would change my life when we, along with Casey Kahn, co-founded FreeTime Media. With Howie’s award-winning expertise in writing and hosting, Casey’s decade-plus career in public relations and marketing, and my 20+ years of experience with all things audio and video, we knew we could help companies, creators, and experts amplify their brand and elevate their culture through exceptional storytelling. And that’s what we’ve been doing since 2019 for brands like Nike, Morgan Stanley, St. Regis Hotels and Resorts, and a dozen other clients. The arc of a career (and a life) is interesting. Moving rocks out of a concrete room in Brooklyn led to 15 years of producing content for the biggest brands and celebrities, all over the world. One domino hits the next. I planned none of it and backed into almost all of it with dumb luck and good timing ⏳. And maybe all that unintentional luck and timing will lead me to working with you on your next project. I hope so 🤞. Email: Rob@FreeTimeMedia.world
