I'm hiring.
But I'm not looking for an employee.
I'm looking for someone who wants to build something f***ing massive.
I've done this before.
I started my first video business — OTTR Works — at 21. Full-time team, branded vans, cinema rigs, blue-chip clients, the lot. Built it to $100k months and exited in 2024.
Then I started again from zero. Today I'm building Self Made Creatives — the fastest-growing coaching business for videographers in the UK.

That was chapter one. You'd be joining for the bigger one.
Creative Director / Videographer.
Someone who understands what makes content impossible to scroll past. Someone who is hungry as f***.
The job: take a stupid voice note I send at 9pm and somehow turn it into the best thing we've ever made.
- Work directly with me
Not a department. Not a hierarchy. You and me, every day.
- Actual full creative freedom
Not the fake kind agencies promise. The ideas, the strategy, the brand — you're in all of it.
- Not just holding the camera
If you want to be handed a shot list, this isn't for you.
- A front-row seat
While we build SMC into the biggest videographer coaching company in the world.
Sound like you?
- 1A wizard at short & long form social
- 2A nice person
- 3Hungry as f***
- 4Understands founder-led marketing and branding
- 5Ready to work with me 1:1 and scale with the fastest-growing videographer coaching business in the UK
- 6Doesn't shoot Nikon (half kidding)
Straight terms.
This is the main thing, not a side gig.
Willing to commute to Swindon 2x a month.
Willing to pay in spades for the right person.
It's a moonshot. This job will test you. It will test both of us.
No freelance videographers. If you're in — WE'RE IN.
Watch — and build — the biggest videographer coaching company in the world.
No black hole. A process.
- 01Apply below
I read every single application myself. No recruiters, no HR filter, no keyword-scanning robot. Me, a brew, and your answers.
- 02A call with me
If it's a maybe-hell-yes, we get on a call. Bring opinions. I want to hear what you'd change about my content, not compliments.
- 03A test brief
The shortlist gets a real brief. You show me, don't tell me. Then we both decide.
A word from me.
Two minutes, straight to camera. Watch this, then decide if you're taking the shot.
Take the shot.
Fill this out properly. You're applying to make things people can't scroll past — if the application is lazy, I'll know everything I need to.
