SCALING CREATIVE AGENCIES TO $1M+

I install a brand story offer that moves your clients from $5k social retainers to $50k brand story contracts. Same team. No new hires. Your first close pays for the install.

THE PROBLEM

AI is eating your
commodity work.

Basic content. Social media management. Standard reporting. All commoditized. All price-shopped. Your clients can get the same deliverables from an AI tool for a fraction of what you charge.

Forrester reported in June 2026 that 53% of agency owners now see AI as a credible threat, up from 44% one year earlier. That number is climbing fast.

The agencies that survive this shift are the ones selling something AI cannot replicate. Strategic. Premium. Human. Brand stories that command $50k contracts instead of $5k retainers.

The question is whether you move upstream before you get priced out, or after.

THE SOLUTION

The Brand Story Install.

A 12-week done-with-you consulting program. I install a complete brand story offer into your agency. The framework. The pitch. The pricing. The delivery playbook. Everything your team needs to sell and deliver $50k brand story contracts instead of $5k social retainers.

Same team. No new hires. No new equipment. I work with what you already have and turn it into a premium service your existing clients will pay more for.

You get a private WhatsApp group with direct access to me. Four live calls every week. A full video library. Templates. A resource vault. Everything is built for your agency specifically, not a generic framework slapped onto your business.

HOW IT WORKS

Three phases.
Twelve weeks.

PHASE 1: INSTALL

Map and build your offer.

I audit your existing clients and identify brand story opportunities sitting in your current roster. We define your pricing, your positioning, and your pitch. By the end of this phase you have a complete, sellable brand story offer ready to deploy.

PHASE 3: LAND

We pitch qualified prospects together. I am on the calls. I review the decks. Your first brand story contract closes within the program. That single close pays for the entire install and then some. Everything after that is margin.

Close your first brand story contract.

PHASE 2: DEPLOY

Train your team to deliver.

Your team learns the delivery playbook. We run live pitch rehearsals. I review your proposals and refine your approach in real time. I am in your WhatsApp group daily, not checking in once a week. Your team gets confident selling and delivering brand stories before we go to market.

PROOF

Real work.
Real clients.
Real numbers.

I have spent my career building brand stories for organizations that demand excellence. Lifeline. AMG. Channel 7. Parliament House. These are not logo drops. These are full brand story engagements where the stakes are real and the work has to land.

The same methodology that commands premium fees in film translates directly to agency work. A brand story is a brand story. The buyer changes. The framework does not. I have helped filmmakers and video businesses scale to 7 figures using this exact approach, and the overlap between a video business and a creative agency is nearly total.

What I do not do is pretend I have case studies I do not have. If you want to see agency-specific results, become one of the first three. That is the honest answer. What I can show you is the work, the methodology, and the clients who have already trusted me with their brand.

FIT

Who this is for.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

→ Your agency does $300k to $1.5M a year.

→ You have 5 to 15 people on the team.

→ You see AI eating your commodity work and want to move upstream.

→ You have clients who would pay more for a strategic brand story if you knew how to sell and deliver one.

→ You are ready to do the work. This is done-with-you, not done-for-you.

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF

✖ Your agency is under $300k. You do not have the team or client base to deliver brand stories yet.

✖ You are a solo operator with no team.

✖ You want someone to do it all for you.

✖ You are comfortable competing with AI on price for $5k retainers.

✖ You are not willing to pitch prospects and do the reps.
