@PJaccetturo Facts!

"AI is gonna kill creatives" is the dumbest take and people say it all the time. There is INFINITE DEMAND for content, but the problem is that off-the-shelf AI tools need people with taste to create compelling work. Here's the biggest mistake I see solo-creators making: Teamwork. Many of our ads are created by teams of people with different skill sets (very similar to traditional filmmaking) AI filmmakers need to split the process into distinct stages: 1. Writing 2. Directing 3. Cinematography (Image creation) 4. Animation 5. Editing You need to understand which of those skill sets you're very good at, double down on it, and collaborate with others in their areas of genius. Use a Figma/Milanote for every film project so you can lay out the script and storyboard and it will make collaboration 100x easier. I outline our agency's working process in all my recent video posts (or newsletter posts)- feel free to reference them. Also, feel free to use this post as a talent magnet to introduce yourself, showcase your work, and share your specialty. Stronger together! I hope to continue seeing the community thrive!

Word of mouth is more powerful than any other kind of marketing.

Niche down. Sell one thing… To solve a single problem… For a select group of people. Well.

Entrepreneurship is the art of never knowing for sure and having the courage to decide anyway. It's the art of constantly being in new situations and trusting yourself to figure it out, even when you have no idea how.

In 2019, 40% of VC money went directly to Facebook and Google ads. If you are a brand new business and this is part of your strategy, stop now.
