Running a video production business is harder than it looks from the outside.
You're good at what you do. Clients are happy. The work is strong. But the pipeline is unpredictable, the margins feel tighter than they should, and you spend too much time chasing the next job instead of doing the work you actually enjoy.
The Creative Business Academy is for video production agency owners and freelancers ready to build a predictable, profitable and sustainable business.
Stand out from the crowd
Free Workshop. Sunday 26 April, 5pm BST
How to Stand Out and Get More Work. A free 60-minute online session for video freelancers and small agency owners.
Practical outreach and visibility strategies that get you more consistent work.
Most video agencies have the same blind spots.
Too much reliance on a handful of clients. Relationships that go quiet between projects. No real system for bringing in new work. Revenue that looks fine on paper but feels fragile in practice.
Founded by Simon Banks, a video producer and agency owner with over 30 years in the industry.
The Creative Business Academy helps you build the business and lifesytle you deserve.
Find out if your agency is ready to grow
The Video Business Scorecard takes about five minutes. It looks at your client relationships, revenue stability, pipeline, and systems, and gives you a clear picture of what needs attention first.
Most people who take it find at least two things they hadn't named yet.

Simon - Video Agency Owner - Melbourne
“Simon has helped me go back to doing what I love and to have a reliable, predictable income without feast or famine. The big change is that my business profit has switched from minus $50K to now being +$100k!”
Clare - Video Business Owner - Kent
“Since working with Simon and implementing what he suggests, I've increased my prices. As I was busy before, I'm busy again, but I'm actually making more money. Highly recommend Simon, and for me it's worked an absolute treat.”
Wayne - Freelancer - London
"Simon is consistent, knowledgeable, and refreshingly realistic. He focuses on what truly works, which is valuable in a market full of empty promises."
Work smarter, not harder
You didn't get into video production to spend your evenings doing admin and your mornings worrying about where the next job is coming from.
But that's where a lot of agency owners end up. Doing great work, keeping clients happy, and still feeling like the business is running them rather than the other way around.
The Creative Business Academy helps you change that. Better clients, more predictable revenue, and a business that doesn't fall apart the moment you step back from it.
