The Engine Room · Agency Roadmap™ DM me READY

Private 1:1 Tier

I built a content agency
to £30k months.
I've never operated a camera,
and I've never edited a frame.

Which should tell you the thing you’re missing was never the work.

If you're reading this, you're probably a videographer or agency owner who's good at what they do. Either the income still isn't consistent — or it is, and you've become the thing holding it back.

Some months are great. Others are dead. And you're tired of not knowing which one is coming next.

I stopped the agency at £30k because that was my number for the life I wanted. Yours will be different. We work out what it is, then we build the thing that gets you there.

Read everything before you reach out, especially the video below, as it speaks through exactly what the systems are and who the hell I am!

The Acquisition Engine

The best driver in the world
can't win in a bad car.

You're the driver. You're good at this: the shooting, the editing, the client work. That part was never in question.

The business is the car. And nobody has ever opened the bonnet with you. So when a month goes badly you do the only thing you know how to do, which is drive harder.

Five questions, about a minute. You'll see which part of the car is holding the other four back.

Why most videographers never break through.

They keep selling deliverables. Videos. Posts. Hours.

They compete on price because they don't know how to compete on anything else. They take on every client that comes their way. They work 60-hour weeks and still barely break £3K–£5K consistently.

They think more clients is the answer.

It's not.

Two or three high-ticket retainer clients at £2K–£3K/month, with a system that brings them to you predictably, is worth more than 10 low-paying headaches.

That's exactly what we build inside the Engine Room.

03/ 15

What actually changes.

Two versions of the same business. One of them is yours right now.

Your month A lottery
  1. Now

    £2K one month, £6K the next, back to £3K.

    You find out what kind of month it was once it's over. Every good one you carried personally, and every bad one is something that slipped.

  2. The offer changes

    The same work, sold as an outcome.

    You stop being compared on price against everyone else who sells videos. Same skill, same camera, three to five times the rate.

  3. The pipeline changes

    You stop hoping and start knowing.

    Leads arrive whether you felt like posting or not. One client leaving becomes a Tuesday instead of a crisis.

  4. Six months in

    Recurring, and you know the number before the month starts.

    Twenty to forty hours instead of fifty to eighty, because the parts that used to be you are systems and people now.

04/ 15
The Acquisition Engine

What we install over 12 months.

The Engine Room is built around one central system: The Acquisition Engine.

Someone who's never heard of you sees a post. Follows. Sticks around long enough to trust you. Messages you. Becomes a £2–3K a month retainer. Gets a result worth talking about — and that result is the next post.

  1. never heard of you
  2. follower
  3. DM
  4. retainer
  5. a result worth talking about
  6. the next post↶ and round again

That's the engine. The five pillars are the parts that make it turn, and they go in this order for a reason.

Fix the offer and the content's finally got something to sell. Fix the content and the DMs start filling on their own. Fix the DMs and delivery gets busy. Fix delivery and the thing runs without you stood in the middle of every job — which is the only way the loop keeps turning while you're on a shoot.

Five pillars, installed in order.

  1. 01

    Offer Architecture

    what they're actually paying for

    A high-ticket, outcome-driven offer that attracts the right clients and stops you competing on price. You'll know exactly what you sell, who it's for, and why they should pay £1.5K–£3K a month for it.

  2. 02

    Content Ecosystem

    how they find you

    A personal brand and a content strategy that pre-sell you before you say a word. Clients arrive already warmed up, already trusting you.

  3. 03

    Conversion Pathways

    how they become clients

    DM frameworks, sales scripts and a discovery-call structure that close high-ticket clients confidently. No more freezing on price or caving to objections.

  4. 04

    Delivery Systemisation

    how they get the result

    SOPs, onboarding flows and client management, so you stop reinventing the wheel on every new client. Delivery without the chaos.

  5. 05

    Scalability Infrastructure

    how it holds more without breaking you

    The AI operating hub, hiring guides and the foundations to grow past £10K a month to £20K+ without burning out.

05/ 15

What the twelve months actually looks like.

Three phases to build it, then the rest of the year to compound it. Each of the three ends on a line you've either crossed or you haven't.

  1. Phase one · Month 1

    The unlocks

    Niche locked and committed to for ninety days. Prices up on the clients you already have, because that's the fastest money in the building. Contracts tightened. The traffic engine switched on.

    You're through whenLeads are coming in within forty days.
  2. Phase two · Months 2–3

    The ceiling-breaker

    Your first hire. Which role comes first is the call we make together, off where your hours actually go. Get that wrong and you've bought yourself a second job. Then the two-call sales process replaces the one where you explain and then discount.

    You're through whenThat hire is made before the £8–10k wobble, not after it.
  3. Phase three · Months 4–6

    Systemise it

    SOPs, onboarding, the numbers, the ops board. The point is a business that runs a job start to finish without you in the middle of every step.

    You're through whenA client goes end to end and you didn't touch it.
  4. Then · Months 7–12

    Run it, and keep sharpening

    The build is done and the back half is where it compounds. We hold the standard, raise the prices the system can now carry, and fix what the extra volume exposes. The weekly call carries this stretch — and from month six, staying is your decision, not a contract.

    No gate on this oneThe first three end on a standard. This is the part that doesn't end.

What's included.

What we're actually building.

Two or three retainer clients at £2K–£3K a month. A pipeline that fills whether you felt like posting or not. A business that delivers without you in the middle of every job.

That's the outcome. Everything below is what you get to build it with.

Every week
  • The weekly community call Sixty minutes, one topic, taught properly. Recorded — the replay and a one-page summary land in your portal the same day, so missing it live costs you nothing.
  • Three 60-minute 1:1s Months one, three and six — the build phase. Recorded and shared back, so you are not taking notes while we work.
55 calls in your first year
Every day
  • Direct access to me Between calls, for feedback, reviews and the decisions that will not wait for the next one.
  • The private Slack Other owners at your stage and further ahead. This is where most of the wins get posted first.
No cap on messages
Always there
  • Your operating dashboard Built around your situation after a deep-dive onboarding, not a template.
  • The SOP library Every contract, proposal, ad script, hiring and delegation doc I use.

A plane burns most of its fuel getting off the ground. Month one is the takeoff. After that the system carries you.

A week of this costs you less than half a shoot day. You already find that time when a client asks.

  4. Doing it allDeciding what gets done

I'm not going to pretend month one is restful. It's the heaviest, because that's when we rebuild the offer while you're still running the old business. It gets lighter, not harder.

09/ 15

Who built this.

Numan at the A Players mastermind, arms folded, locked in.

I didn't start this because I was good at it. I started it because nobody would hire me.

Business with Marketing degree, then 200+ job rejections and not one marketing job. I ended up an engineer at Virgin Media, then doing commission marketing at an accountancy firm for £200 a month. That firm are my accountants now.

I built the agency to £30K months without being the person behind the camera. Contractors did the shooting, I built the briefs and the systems so jobs ran without me on set.

£30K was my number, not a scoreboard. It's what the life I wanted actually cost. Yours might be £8K, it might be £50K. The first thing we do is work out what your number really is, and then we build the thing that gets you there.

Then I systemised it well enough that I could step out of it entirely. That's the part that matters. Not my camera work. The machine underneath it.

  • 200+job rejections first
  • £0 → £350Ka year, in two years
  • £30Kmonths, at its peak

This is 1:1. It's personalised. And I'm in it with you for twelve months.

10/ 15

Why I am not going to put you on a call.

Because you do not need one, and neither do I.

Everything a call would tell you is on this page. What it is, who it is for, what it costs, what happens after, and what I expect from you. There is no pitch you are missing and no number I am holding back until we speak.

If it is a fit, apply and I will send you everything in the DMs. If you have got a question, ask me in the DMs and I will answer it there. And if you would genuinely rather talk it through first, say so and we will talk. I just do not think you should have to sit through a sales call to be sold something you have already decided on.

11/ 15

Who is the Engine Room for?

This is for you if you're already in motion but stuck at a ceiling.

You're the right fit if:

  • You're between £2K and £7K a month and it's inconsistent — good months, dead months, no way to tell which is coming
  • Or you're at £10K and stuck there — the work's consistent, but every job still goes through you, and hiring is the part you keep putting off
  • You've got real skills and clients. You're not starting from scratch
  • You're stuck in the freelancer trap: doing everything yourself, one client drop away from a bad month
  • You know you're undercharging, but don't know how to raise prices without losing what you've got
  • You've tried tactics before (cold DMs, posting content, watching YouTube) but nothing gave you a real system

This is NOT for you if:

  • You're a complete beginner with zero clients or experience
  • You want a course to watch once and forget
  • You blame external factors for where you're at
  • You're not willing to invest time and money into your growth
  • You expect overnight results without doing the work

Investment Structure

It's one programme. Same system, same build, same room. The only thing you're choosing is how much one-to-one time with me you want on top.

Engine Room

£2,500×1 + £500/mo

Paid once, before we start.

Three 1:1s in the build phase — months one, three and six — then the weekly community call carries it.

DM me READY
Most chosen Engine Room Private · founding

£4,000×1 + £500/mo

Paid once, before we start.

Everything in the Engine Room, plus a 1:1 with me every month for the full twelve.

Founding price — first three seats, then £4,500.

DM me READY
Onboarding
The deep-dive and the build: your offer, your pricing and your first 1:1, before anything else starts.
Monthly
£500 on both tiers, starting month two, however you pay the onboarding.
Duration
Twelve months to build the whole thing. The first six are the activation — from month six you can cancel yourself, from your own account, no conversation required. It isn't a course.
Pay once
£7,000 for the twelve months — onboarding and every monthly, settled up front. Saves you £1,000.
Why split it
Two payments exists to make starting easier, not to charge you more. The total is the same either way.

One high-ticket retainer client at £1.5K–£2K/month covers the first year in 60–90 days. Then it pays for itself every month after that.

13/ 15

“Yeah, but would it work for me?”

I cap it at two a month and I turn more people down than I take, because I only take people I think I can actually get a result with. If I read your application and I do not believe it, I will tell you and point you somewhere better.

I am not going to promise you a number by a date. Anyone who does is guessing. What I will promise is what it takes: two to four hours a week, for twelve months. The people who do that get there. The people who sign up and wait do not, and no guarantee has ever fixed that.

14/ 15

FAQs.

Both, deliberately. The build is 1:1 — those calls are with me directly, about your business, not a syllabus. The weekly community call is the other half: one topic taught properly, recorded, with the replay in your portal the same day. You are never a face in a crowd of two hundred, because I take two new students a month.

2–4 hours of implementation a week, plus the 60-minute community call on a Wednesday if you want it live. If you're working 60-hour weeks right now, this programme is designed to start buying that time back, not add to it.

Honestly? For most people it's somewhere around month ten or eleven, not month six. Some are quicker: Faisal did it in two months, Joe in four. Adnan took ten to eleven, with a plateau around month five, and his YouTube case study makes it look faster than it was.

Coming up to it: the first six months is the build, and £10k is where you start systemising from, not where you finish. I'd rather tell you that now than have you find out in month five.

Already there: you don't need the acquisition half fixed, so we don't pretend you do. We start at pillar four. The cap at £10k is almost never leads — it's that every job still runs through you, and the hire you keep deferring is the one that unlocks £20k. That's a different six months, and it's the one most people never get coached through.

That's exactly where we start. The first phase of the programme is dedicated to building your offer and positioning from the ground up, tailored to your skills and the market.

Both tiers split over two payments — it is on the card, not a favour you have to ask for. But if budget is the main concern, be honest with yourself about whether now is the right time. I only take on students I believe I can get results with.

I'm still running my own agency. I'm not teaching theory. I'm showing you exactly what I built to hit £30K months, and what I'd do differently now. Plus, it's fully personalised to your situation, not a one-size-fits-all framework.

Yes, because I cap at 2 new students per month. You're not joining a programme of 200 people. You have direct access to me on Slack every day, the weekly call, and your 1:1s in the build phase — every month of the twelve if you take Private.

NOVEMBER INTAKE
2 spots

I cap it at two because of what is in the What’s Included list. One-to-one time and daily access do not scale, and I would rather run it small than run it badly.

Ready to apply?

You've read everything. You know if this is for you.

The only question left is whether you're ready to stop surviving month to month and start building something that actually works.

DM me "READY" on Instagram and I'll send you the next steps.

If you're nearly there but something's still bugging you, DM me "QUESTION" and ask me whatever it is. No pitch, I'll just answer it. I'd rather answer one honest question than have you close this and think about it for six months.
