The REAL secret to creating content for the world's most influential brands...
In the glittering world of big-brand content creation, where ideas sparkle brighter than a disco ball at a '70s dance-off, the real secret sauce isn't just about whipping up words and visuals. Nope, it's about channeling your inner mogul, baby!
That's right, the crème de la crème of content creators know that to play in the big leagues, you don't just throw pitches; you build empires.
They swap the freelancer's fedora for a tycoon's top hat, tapping into an entrepreneurial mindset that's more electrifying than finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag.
They're not just crafting content; they're constructing content kingdoms, complete with moats filled with innovation and drawbridges dropping down for opportunities.
So, if you're ready to leave the gig grind behind and join the hall of fame where the world's biggest brands bow down, remember: it's not just about being a freelancer; it's about being the CEO of Content Creation Extraordinaire Inc.
Now, who's ready to trade their keyboard for a crown? 👑

Who is this course for?
This course is designed for seasoned or aspiring filmmakers and content creators that want to take things to the next level and start a real business centered around content creation for brands.
Do I need experience creating content?
Technically no, but this course isn't designed to teach you how to create compelling videos and assumes you have some experience in the field or a desire to gain those skills.
What if I've never worked with a big brand before?
That's okay! A big part of this course is not only how to acquire the jobs with big brands but how to build a professional relationship and deliver content in a way that brands will expect.
Are there any community or networking opportunities?
After completing the course, you will be invited into Momentum, a community-based continuation of the course that will give you ongoing access to Alex and the other Creative Economist alum that want to accelerate their growth.
Do I get access to templates and other usable assets?
Yes! As a bonus, you will get access to my exact templates for things like scripts, budgets, schedules, pitch decks, and other assets that I use on a regular basis.
How long will I be able to access the course materials?
Once purchased in full, you have access to the course and materials for life. This includes any updates that are added in the future.
Is there a discount or payment plan option?
I don't offer any discounts on the course because that's not fair to those who pay full price. But, to make life easier, I do offer a six-pay option where you can split up the cost of the course into six payments.
What support will I receive?
I get it - it's tough to do this kind of thing alone. Trust me, I know. That's why it's important for me that you feel supported. The easiest and best way for me to do this is in the form of monthly Q&A calls. You'll be able to submit your questions ahead of time and I'll answer you on the live call.
What if I can't make it to a live Q&A call?
That's okay! You'll receive an email with a recording of the call along with call notes that include a breakdown of questions and topics covered and a searchable transcript.
How long will it take me to land my first client?
This will vary from person to person and various factors including past experience, speed and effort put into the course, and your network. But, in theory, an average person could land their first client gig within a few months.
Do you guarantee that I will land big clients?
Because success in this industry involves so many uncontrollable variables I'm not able to guarantee it with 100% certainty. But, I stand by the course and the materials that I provide, and know that if you put in the effort and follow the guidance you are more likely to achieve your desired results.
