JOSEPH FAIN MCDANIEL

Joseph Fain McDaniel founded The Media Butler to bridge the gap between creative expression and digital infrastructure. What started as a boutique agency quickly evolved into a trusted partner for entrepreneurs, ministries, and organizations seeking scalable systems, beautiful design, and marketing that works.

Long before stepping into the film industry, Joseph was already building websites and decoding Google’s search algorithm. By 14, he was studying SEO. By his twenties, he was a Google Certified Agent managing complex campaigns for high-growth startups and national brands — all while developing tools, funnels, and automation systems that helped clients grow from idea to impact.

Joseph’s work with The Media Butler eventually led him into the world of film and television, where he managed the Hawaii film union’s digital infrastructure and became a trusted force on set. His credits include Magnum P.I., NCIS: Hawai‘i, Hawaii Five-0, Doogie Kameāloha, M.D., Godzilla vs. Kong, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Next Goal Wins, and Lilo & Stitch (live-action). From graphics coordination to video playback engineering, he helped elite productions deliver on time, on budget, and at broadcast-level precision.

But the essence of Joseph’s work has always been about integration — blending design, strategy, and systems to build with purpose. Under his leadership, The Media Butler supports everything from web development and full-stack marketing to spiritually aligned education platforms and trust-based business structures. His rare mix of creative intuition and technical clarity makes him the go-to for projects that need to not only look good — but run intelligently and scale with integrity.

Joseph is also the author of Smart Crypto — a timely book paving the way for crypto entrepreneurs to operate securely, lawfully, and with purpose. In partnership with the Palau Government, the book explores how private ministry members can establish international residency and thrive beyond conventional systems. Smart Crypto is already generating buzz and marks the first of many knowledge-packed works in development.

His name, JOSEPH FAIN MCDANIEL, is now a registered trademark. More than a personal brand, it stands for a multidimensional approach to leadership, creation, and execution. Together with his partner Courtney Ann Lee — an essential collaborator in this vision — Joseph continues to push boundaries and help clients build with elegance, efficiency, and intention.
