Strategy
Most of this starts as a photo job. Somebody books a day, it goes well, and then the actual problem turns up. They need this regularly, and nobody on the team has time to run it.
Sometimes the problem is bigger than photos. There's no sales motion yet, or the marketing is a folder of assets nobody uses, or a new market needs somebody to open it. I spent years building exactly that inside companies before photography became the business, so when a client needs it, I run it. Go-to-market, sales, marketing, and the strategy behind them, alongside the pictures.
Content engagements
Several days inside a month, spent building your library instead of covering one event.
Photography first, then whatever else the library needs. Written copy, so everything's usable the day it's delivered and doesn't sit in a folder waiting for somebody to caption it.
Most people also need a way to keep it going once I'm gone: what to capture and how often, how the library's organized, and what gets published when.
Commercial strategy
Photography is my business. Alongside it I've built go-to-market functions. Market entry, standing up a first sales motion, pipeline where there wasn't any.
A couple months or more usually, which is enough time to build a sales function your team can keep running after I leave.
What I've built
A few examples of what I do so you can see the range of scope and to help work out what you might want.
-
Paid media
Google and Meta, run for return. Billboards too, where the market is physical and a screen never reaches it.
-
A first sales motion
Closing sales before there's a team. I pick the territory and the buyers worth chasing, write the sequence, and have the first conversations myself. I've been the first salesperson more than once.
-
Collateral reps use
The deck, the one-pager, the case study. Written so a buyer can forward it inside their own company without translating it first.
-
The path to a form
Ad to landing page to application, designed as one path.
-
Content in house
Content made in house, in days, so a photoshoot stops being a line item you have to justify.
-
Portraits at scale
Twelve hundred people in one organization, photographed for a directory and matched frame to frame. Nobody lost a day to it.
Get in touch
Tell me what the problem is. That beats a brief, and I'll tell you if I'm the right person for it. If somebody pointed you here, mention who.
