I'm Runner Kao. A Singapore storyteller sharing life as a dad, a runner, and someone who still cares about the young and vulnerable. Along the way, I make honest videos that happen to resonate with brands too.
I'm Runner Kao. The guy your nieces, nephews, colleagues, and aunties have probably mentioned at least once.
It started in 2019 with a small YouTube channel. I was just a guy who liked to run and figured I'd document the routes. Then in 2020, I posted a silly video on TikTok. It hit different. So I posted another. And another. Five years later, I'm still posting, and somehow you're still watching.
Today, my community sits at over 350,000 across TikTok and Instagram. Strangers stop me at Orchard. Kids run up to me at the playground. Brands fly me out to host events. None of it ever gets old.
I make content because I genuinely love it. The fact that it's now my full-time job is the part I still can't believe.
TikTok and Reels that feel honest. Scripts, filming, editing, publishing. Whether it's branded or just my own thoughts, the bar is the same: does this actually land?
Helping brands and causes find the angle that actually resonates. If a brief feels stiff, I help find the human thread that makes people lean in.
I spend a lot of time in schools talking to kids about the real stuff. Online safety, bullying, choices, and growing up. It's the social work part of me that I'll never let go.
Brand events, launches, panels, community activations. Happy on a stage, happy with a mic, happiest when the audience is actually having a good time.
For collabs, school talks, hosting gigs, press, or just to chat about an idea. I'm exclusively represented by Hepmil, so the team will take care of the rest.
