Shot a narrative video for a local designer. Voice over, him working and such. It was an immediate hit. Waiting for him to get back in the state to do some more stuff.

But I also think this would be really great for founders perspective and client stories.

What do you think of when you think of someone like this?

I either write scripts after learning about their business or just asking questions (what I did with the designer) and having them answer. Then I film. Edit it all together. Final thing goes on social.

Reason I ask:
- content creator seems narrow. I don’t just film whatever you point me to. My work is a lot of strategy to make sure less of the right thing gets made, not just film stuff and put it out with the idea that volume is velocity.
- creative strategist might signal that it’s a hands off, ideas only thing. Good luck bringing it to life.
- creative director seems too far from typical business (or maybe I’m wrong); sounds closer to fashion or something.

So I’m trying to figure it out. Targets are likely to be solo operators, consultants, small firms, small operating teams. I’m just trying to get a feel for what people think of when they think of this role so it requires as little cognition as possible if someone sees a title.

Also, I guess I could just let the work talk. Maybe this shit doesn’t even matter lol.

Thanks in advance!

I learned to program years ago and always thought it would be cool to start my pen engineering company.

I’d love to work with clients that want to improve the way they work. Agencies seem like a great place to start because they always have issues scaling, but everyone I end up reaching out to either never hits back or tries to relationship me, wanting to talk multiple times, almost like just picking my brain.

Really struggling here. I can build. I can market. Just not sure what to do before that first customer.

Any thoughts from someone whose done it and learned the thing that matters?

I’m all good with getting on phones too and in person. I just keep finding people with great ideas for an app I can build as a business/product but not necessarily anyone who is like I’d love for someone to X for me.

Not really sure what to do and getting exhausted from continuous failure.
