SPEAKER VIDEOS THAT WOW
Video is the most compelling tool you have to convince a potential booker that you are the best person for their event but you only have about 15 seconds to hook them. If a picture paints a thousand words then your video is a masterpiece novel!
Whether you call it a sizzle reel, a speaker preview video or a showreel – it’s the critical asset you need to market and sell your services. Sure, you can whip one up on iMovie but if you want to get booked and paid like a professional, then you’ll need a video that is professional.
Whether you are a new or seasoned speaker, we can help by creating an engaging, entertaining and persuasive showreel.

OUR R.E.E.L. METHOD
So, you know you need a video but when it comes to creating one – especially a GREAT one – you’re at a loss for words. We get it, you’re a speaker, not a videographer. Lucky for you (and us), we are!
After creating reels and reels of showreels (oh, we crack ourselves up), we saw how overwhelming and mysterious the process felt for our speakers. So, we created a simple, but extremely effective storyboard and creation process.
Using our R.E.E.L. Method (on your own or with our help), you’re walked through picking out just the right messages, with just the right presentation, and putting them together in the just the right order. Your storyboard will be compelling and showcase the very best of you. Your goal AND ours is for your video to get you to the top of every speaker bookers’ shortlist.

we bet you're wondering...
answers to common questions people ask
No. You are not “everyone else”. You are YOU. Each reel is unique because it’s your differentiator that drives it.
We will have weekly (or as close to weekly as possible) Zoom or phone meetings to discuss the progress of the reel, address any questions along the way, and keep everyone accountable to the finished product.
Email it, text it, send a carrier pigeon, or all three. Just ask 🙂
Send it! We can even send you a Dropbox invitation to upload to us.
It takes between 4 to 6 weeks from the date all necessary materials are received for your showreel to be completed.
You will see it in the process (if you choose) and will be able to provide real-time feedback to shape the video into your vision.
The short answer is “Yes”. However, you are still liable for what you put out there in cyberspace, so it’s always best to get permission in cases like these.
Absolutely! There are some really creative ways we can feature your photos.
Your finished video is your property as you have purchased it. However, again, you may want to cover your assets with the approval of any content you do not own.
