Outcomes

What the program builds.

Anyone can rent a camera crew for a day. The value is the machine around the footage, and what the machine produces.

A reliable content factory

One production day a month, edited videos within 7 days. You never write a script. The system survives your calendar.

Ideas that stick

Your thinking, mined and packaged into formats built for memory and for sharing. It sounds like you on your best day.

Creative-led growth

Attention before sales. A growth engine that scales without extra headcount or ad budget.

A brand people know

When a buyer, an investor or a hire searches your category, they find your face first.

Deals that walk in

Partnerships, pilots, inbound. One winning video opens more doors than a quarter of outreach.

Cheaper ads

Organic winners become ad creatives that already proved themselves. Lower CPM, lower cost per lead.

A moat

Attention compounds. Competitors can copy your product in a weekend. Your voice stays yours.
// how it runs: one production day per month, batched in San Francisco, everything else remote. By month three your team runs the loop.
The shift

Your real job is leading a shift in how people work.

A product solves a problem. Today anyone can build one with AI. To lead a transformation, your ideas need to travel further than your competitors' budget.

Two routes to the same buyer. The product market rents attention and pays every time. The idea market earns it once, and the same attention serves buyers, investors, hires, partners and your ad account.

Why now

Attention compounds like equity.

Entering late costs more every quarter. We are living through the biggest attention transfer since the beginning of social media: the AI wave. Founders who start telling their story now keep widening the gap every month.

Illustrative curves. The gap between the founder who starts now and the one who starts six months later keeps widening, and a competitor can clone a feature set far faster than an audience.
The method

A content system that improves every month on your own data.

A loop, run monthly. Each turn makes the next one better, and by month three your team turns it.

Mineyour ideasDesignformatsShootone batch dayPublishcut per platformDatapicks winners Creative-Led Growth ENGINE
Your input is one production day. Mining, format design, direction, data and iteration happen around it, and that is where the value is: a filmmaker shoots a day for about $1,000.
The dice system

A format is a loaded die.

Each format is a die you throw every week. I build each founder the set of dice that lands the highest value with the smallest spread.

Each format is a die you throw every week. The goal is the highest average landing with the smallest spread. Throw it ten times, get ten results in the same range. That consistency lets a team plan, and makes ads cheaper later.

Months 1 and 2 throw many dice. Mimetic formats already proven on-platform, next to originals built around the founder. Data shows which land high and tight. Those become templates. The judgment of when to persevere and when to kill is the craft.

What I commit to

Some videos will do two thousand views, some will reach hundreds of thousands, and a few will pass a million. We run so many repetitions that luck plays a smaller part every month, and I don't drop a format until we have run the repetitions we planned and reached the results we set together.

Use cases

A few of my clients.

A 25-seat pizzeria run by a 57-year-old owner who did not know how to upload a video and believed the secret was hashtags. Today: an international star with 1.6M followers and a 2-hour show on national TV.

Format: the owner as a character. Humor, reactions, recipe tests.

Proof that a founder with zero camera habit can become the brand. The idea was the person.

The most expensive fan in the world. Triple gold medal at the Concours Lépine, the French inventors' competition. The €999 product sold out in 2 weeks, with 3M+ views across channels.

Format: the absurd claim, then the proof.

A knowledge gap in the first second. Price becomes the hook.

OtypoSign factory

A 25-person factory making professional signs. Zero social presence, all acquisition through Google Ads. In 3 months: 0 to 3.7M views. Today #1 on Google Video for "plaque professionnelle", its most competitive keyword, and ranking in German and English.

Format: boring product, satisfying process.

Video content doubles as search. The least sexy niche became the most visible.

A protein bar brand launched through a crowdfunding campaign, featured on Ulule. We built the founder story as the backbone of the account.

Reacting to a video people already watch borrows its audience, then the founder story keeps it.

The shoemaker's children often go barefoot. I practice what I preach: video is my number one acquisition channel and built a €237k solo first year.

The format most founders start with.

Questions founders ask
What exactly do I get after three months?

A format library (8 to 12 formats proven on your data), three months of published content, the templates and the playbook to keep producing without me, and a data log of what worked. You own all of it.

Do you guarantee views?

No. I guarantee the system and the volume: formats, production days, edited videos within 7 days of each session, data-driven iteration. I keep iterating on a format until we have run the repetitions we planned.

Which platforms?

Where your buyers and your peers are. For most tech founders in 2026 that means X, LinkedIn and short-form video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts). Formats are designed once and cut per platform.

How much of my time?

One production day per month and a monthly call on the data. Between production days, I handle scripts, editing, publishing and analysis.

Do I need to be in San Francisco?

Production days happen in San Francisco, batched into one week per month. If you can fly in for a day, it works. Everything else is remote.

How much does it cost?

It is a premium program, done for you with coaching and training. Pricing is discussed on the call once we both know it is a fit.

Bring the three ideas you repeat on every sales call.
