BuildWitt a Plant & Machinery Internet Sensation

With anyone who is anyone on the social media plant & machinery circuit courting this young American guy at the moment, I thought I too would do a feature on his meteoric rise to internet stardom.

BuildWitt a Plant & Machinery Internet Sensation

I’ve not been on Instagram that long in the wider scheme of things, but one of the first guys I noticed on there was Aaron Witt and his BuildWitt Media brand. Still in his early 20’s this guy has an infectious enthusiasm for all things machinery and dirt related and has an extensive knowledge of the topic which belies his years, all mixed in with some slight eccentricity which just adds to make him one of the most interesting Instagrammer’s out there. The fact that he has amassed 57.1k followers from just 706 posts is testament to the quality he is producing.

However, Instagram is just a small part of what he does, he also works with leading contractors documenting job sites and producing top quality photos and videos for them through his dedicated media business. He also works closely with some of the major manufacturers like Caterpillar who have invited him along to some interesting events. But it hasn’t always been this way, Aaron previously worked on construction sites from 2013 to 2017 to get further exposure to the industry, working as a labourer on drainage projects, and an equipment operator working with pipelaying crews, he has also managed pile driving jobs and blasting operations in a quarry. Add to that having studied construction engineering at Arizona State, he graduated in May 2017.
