Fabulous results. Tom offers a personable, professional service going above and beyond expectations. Can't recommend enough.

Marketing Manager, Gemserv

We knew that video needed to be on our list, but finding the time and resources to do it was our biggest challenge. Working with Tom solves that problem.

"Just do more with less"

- Kind regards, Your CFO

Since 2020, the demand for video has increased disproportionately to the size of most marketing teams, yet video is often the most resource-intensive, time-consuming and costly line-item.

The problem

Does this sound familiar?

Most marketing teams at your level are in the same position. The production infrastructure exists: Your agency executes. Your freelancers deliver. Your team works incredibly hard.


So why does video feel so "reactive" all of the time?

Some marketing teams... have found themselves lost with what video content they truly need — burnt out by inconsistent experiences with various hires, agencies and freelancers.

Some... are "doing video" but it feels ad-hoc, not strategic. You're fulfilling ever-changing business objectives without the time to sense-check what's actually working or delivering ROI.

Some... are often caught in a constant cycle of justification: Pushing for ideas they're excited about and believe in, only to face repeated budget pushback and second-guessing from leadership. This inevitably leads to a gradual erosion of momentum, confidence and morale.

Some... are creating content at scale but are struggling to keep up. Some... aren't creating enough and feel they're falling behind.

Imagine if your marketing team...

  1. Knew exactly what video content to make, why, and how to measure whether it worked
  2. Had a clear picture of what good looks like — that everyone on the team understood and worked to
  3. Could produce video consistently at scale without it feeling chaotic or reactive
  4. Could handle more requests internally without inflated agency spend
  5. Could walk into any senior leadership meeting and confidently present creatives without pushback or endless feedback loops

How it works

A clear video strategy, built for your marketing team

In a few weeks, you'll have a complete, actionable video strategy your team can own and execute — with or without an agency.

Step 1

Audit & discovery

We assess your existing video output, team capability, channel performance, and business goals to understand what's working, what isn't, and why.

Step 2

Strategy & roadmap

You receive a comprehensive video strategy: the creative standards, content pillars, formats and channel logic that finally give everyone a shared direction to work from.

Step 3

Handover & upskilling

Your team knows exactly what video content to make, why, and how to measure it — no more guesswork, no more reactive briefs, and no more over-reliance on agencies to fill the strategic gap.

This is typically a great fit for you if:

You already work with a video agency

You already work with a video agency

Your agency is a production partner: they're brilliant at making video. But strategy isn't their primary job, it's yours. Tom provides the senior thinking that sits above the agency relationship and makes everything they produce more effective.

You already have some internal capability

You already have some internal capability

But you don't have a head of video holding the bigger picture together. That's exactly the gap this solves. Most teams at your level can't justify a permanent hire. Working with Tom gives you that senior thinking without the headcount.

You're already producing video content

Excellent. But individual briefs don't count as a strategy. Ask yourself: could anyone on your team draw a map of your video strategy on a whiteboard? If not, you're producing, not strategising. That's the gap Tom fills.

What we'll cover in 30-Minutes

A non-salesy, zero-fluff discussion aimed at reviewing where you're at video-wise, what's working/not working and what could be better.


Where your video output currently stands and where the gaps are.


What your team, budget and production setup looks like today.


How video could be working better for you across your marketing mix.

It really is that simple. 

It's not as difficult as you might think

It's not as difficult as you might think

Hiring me isn't going to burden you with more work. Most clients find it does the opposite — finally having someone to sense-check the strategic picture means less doubt and fewer decisions land on your desk, not more.

It's not as expensive as you might think

It's not as expensive as you might think...

No Big Agency fees to pay for. No retainers or lengthy contracts. No full-time salaries to justify to your CFO. Hire me freelance, save your marketing spend for better things and get cracking right away.

It's not as time-consuming as you might think

It's not as time consuming as you might think...

Clients bring me in specifically because it bypasses lengthy onboarding and recruitment. No hand holding. No sick days. No listening to my childcare issues. I get to work fast, so you see progress in weeks (not months).
