TLDR: If you run a creative business, you struggle with sales & marketing. Who doesn't?
I did. Until I didn't. Why don't we grab the bull by the horns?
—
When you start your creative firm, it's all for the love of the great work — innovation, awards, impact…

You nail the creative.
But the business side?
Winging it.

As your firm grows, so do the hats you wear. 

And with every project shipped, you wonder: where is the next job coming from?

But a lucky brief saves you from working on the business — you find a refuge right back in it.

—

Fast forward 10-15 years.

Burnout creeps in.
Clients’ recognition feels rare.
The reason you started is a blur.

Can your firm run smoothly without you? Barely. 

Real vacations remain as elusive as selling your shop one day. Because it's a "creative agency", not a business.

Have you saved enough to retire?

—

The truth is, running a creative firm under 15-20 people (like 75% of the industry) is tough.

You wear all the hats, but success lies in dropping them.

You’re fluent in your craft, but the business side?

That's where the struggle starts — especially when it comes to selling and communicating your value.

You don't have to face it alone. Advisors and consultants are godsends, at least according to Mr Beast.

What if there were a simple, elegant way to tackle these issues?

The Value Method™. 
Ask me about it.

My creds?

Black belt in creative entrepreneurship, leading firms in digital marketing, branding, film, CG & VFX. Serving top clients across Europe, the US, Middle East, and Asia. Awards? Tick.

Two decades in, I retired. Ditched the hustle and embraced a shamanic hilltop lifestyle in the middle of nature.

From here, I help creative firm owners and consultants sell smarter, instead of working harder.

Let's tackle the thing you've always avoided or struggled with — sales and marketing.

Let's transform the way you see, create, and communicate the value of your work, unlocking stronger client relationships, greater impact, and profit for your firm.
