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.

Strategize This Media

Strategize This Media (STM) is a video marketing company connecting creatives to their purpose so that they can do more of what they love. STM was formed by a husband and wife duo, David and Chels, who see a massive problem in the marketing space. 

Businesses are losing impact by investing in marketing with no clear brand strategy. When shocking statistics like 80% of businesses fail in the first five years, become a standard fact, there is absolutely no time to waste in being clear on what your business stands for. 

Our team blends brand strategy and video marketing to reveal the impact and amplify it to be heard.

Imagine a world where purpose-driven leaders no longer bypass strategy but use it as the first step to thrive in business so that they can make their mark on the world. 

Follow me for purpose-driven content that cuts through the fluff and guides you to:

✓ think strategically
✓ solve big challenges
✓ defeat limiting beliefs
✓ do more of what you love

Here’s a bit more of the storyline…

At an interesting point in my corporate career, the call for my purpose started to stir. No matter the success, I was unfulfilled. I was faced with a decision to continue down my path or take a leap of faith.

I jumped.

Throughout my journey, I’ve learned that the experiences and impact of living a purpose-driven life are far greater than any limiting belief or obstacle in the way.

Finding purpose in business is rooted in strategic thinking. The impact is inevitable when we can confidently step into our unique skills.

The problem is that businesses often invest in marketing before brand strategy. When this happens, purpose is unknown, missions are inauthentic, and visions are unclear.

Join me in building a world of fulfillment led by passionate owners ⚡️
