How to Start a Video Production Company in 2025
Today, we’re shaking things up with a live coaching call. I’ll work with a young entrepreneur preparing to launch his video production company in 2025. He’s facing some critical decisions about how to get started, and I’ll be guiding him to clarify his vision, set clear goals, and map out the essential steps to build a strong foundation for his business.
No matter where you are in your video production journey-whether you’re just starting out or already established-I’m confident you’ll find valuable insights in this conversation. As you listen, consider whether there are areas in your business that could benefit from a clearer strategy or stronger foundations. The lessons we cover today are relevant for businesses at all stages of growth, on this episode of the Business of Video Production Podcast (www.ryanspanger.com/) .

This episode of the podcast is going out on the final day of 2024. So, you may be listening to it on the 31st of December. Or early in 2025. Now’s the time to reflect on what you want 2025 to look like for you. What do you want to do with it? How would you like it to play out? Who do you want to be in 2025? I go through this process every year at around this time. And I find it a very grounding...

There’s an opportunity, and I don’t want you to waste it. As we down tools at the end of the year, I know it can be tempting to just cruise through January. But if you do, you’ll be missing out on the opportunity to get some really foundational stuff done in your video production business. And set yourself up properly for 2025. There’s a way you can rest and recover from a big year. And still u...
The Vital Ingredient to Fuel Your Video Business

The other day, I was reflecting on different team members who had worked for my business over the years. And what the qualities were of the very best, most successful people. The ones who became best at their craft. The ones that made the biggest contribution to the business. Made the biggest impact. And after thinking about it for a while, the word came to me that truly captured their spirit. ...
2 Underutilised and Powerful Strategies

Running a video production business at its heart involves creating and operating a series of interlocking processes. Once you have developed and refined enough of these processes, they operate together and support each other in a symphony. I've done this in my business, and it's taken me years to do it. I focused on each business area and worked to distil best practices in that area and then fo...
How to Get my Help

Over the course of this podcast series, I’ve sometimes referenced the work I do in video production business coaching. And when people reach out to find out more about coaching - and whether it’s the right fit for them - there are particular things they usually want to know. So I figured it made sense to record a podcast where I covered the most frequently asked questions about my video busines...

With the holiday season quickly approaching, it can for clients to start to wind down their marketing activities and plans for making videos for this year. And sometimes it can be common for business owners - video production business owners in particular - to start to take their foot off the gas and coast through 'till the end of the year. And so what I really want to emphasize in this episode...

Rerun: To Niche, or Not to Niche
มุมมอง 29 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
If you run a video production company, is it a generalist agency? Or do you focus on a particular niche? Or maybe you’ve heard more talk lately about the importance of niching. And maybe even felt a pressure to become more specialised. And choose only one market. There are some definite advantages to this approach. But it’s a big decision. It’s an advanced strategy. And not to be entered into l...

What’s your relationship like with the Sales process in your video production business? Do you feel confident with it? Is it something you enjoy? Or do you treat it like a necessary evil? Many production company owners have an uncomfortable relationship with Sales. I did for many years. Because I got into the industry to make films. I didn’t see myself as a sales person.

Re-run: The Video Production Framework

How do you approach the process of working on your video production business? Do you have a system to help you identify what areas need attention? Do you just go on instinct? Or do you just get so swept up in the doing: writing quotes, doing pre-production. The shoot. The edit etc. And then working on the business ends up taking a back seat? What’s been helpful for me is having a Framework - a ...
