Hey, I’m Timo.
I’m a serial entrepreneur, investor and author. I built and sold Fanbytes for a multi eight figure sum at 27, I’m the author of the Sunday Times bestselling book What’s Stopping You?, and over the last few years I’ve built an audience of more than 750,000 people across social media.
We have access to an unusual network of billionaires, centimillionaires, entrepreneurs, investors and well known people, and we are going to leverage that access to create media that very few teams could make. We are developing YouTube shows around entrepreneurs, business exits and turning around companies, alongside social formats and television ideas designed for a global audience.
To do that, we are building an exceptional in house media team. I’m looking for a Videographer / Creative Producer who wants to be one of the first people in that team and help define what this next chapter looks like.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
Film my world: You’ll be my right hand person for video, travelling with me to events, conferences, meetings and shoots, capturing both the planned content and the interesting things that happen behind the scenes.
Lead our new YouTube show: You’ll be the lead producer on a new show centred around entrepreneurs who have exited companies, as well as going inside businesses and helping turn them around.
Create short form content: You’ll capture and produce content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and our other social channels, with the goal of creating ideas capable of reaching millions of people.
Develop new formats: I want us constantly asking what we can create that does not already exist. You’ll help develop new shows, recurring formats and ideas that make business content genuinely entertaining.
Own production: I want to walk into an event or meeting with you and know that you understand what is interesting, what needs capturing and how we can turn it into a great story.
THE ACCESS
A big part of this role is that you’ll get access to rooms, people and experiences that most videographers simply would not. I regularly spend time with some of the UK’s most successful founders, investors and business leaders, including people such as Richard Harpin, Richard Branson and LADbible cofounder Arian Kalantari. You’ll come into those rooms with me, film what happens and naturally build your own network along the way.
WHO I’M LOOKING FOR
You know how to shoot: You should already be technically excellent with a camera and have experience creating professional video content.
You know how to edit: Strong editing skills are essential. You should be confident cutting short form and long form content yourself, from raw footage to a finished, publish-ready video, without needing to hand it off to someone else.
You understand social: You consume YouTube and short form content and understand what makes people click, watch and share.
You understand storytelling: You can recognise the interesting part of a conversation, person or situation and work out how to turn it into a story people actually want to watch.
You have creative taste: You have opinions about what great content looks like and are excited about developing completely new formats rather than simply copying what already exists.
You want ownership: I’m looking for someone who wants to contribute ideas and eventually take serious ownership of what we create.
MY GOAL FOR YOU
My goal is that we work exceptionally hard together for two or three years building brilliant content, travelling the world, meeting incredible people and taking this media business to another level. During that time, I want you to become exceptional at your craft, understand how audiences and media businesses are built and develop a network that would normally take years to create. Then, eventually, I’d love for you to go and start your own company. If you do, I want to be one of the first people you call and, if it makes sense, your first investor.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
PERKS
£30,000 base plus profit share and bonuses: You’ll earn a £30,000 base salary, with profit share and bonuses so that you participate in the upside of what we build together.
Free international travel: You’ll travel internationally with me for events, conferences, shoots and other opportunities, with travel covered by the company.
An incredible network: You’ll get access to and build genuine relationships with billionaires, centimillionaires, founders, investors and some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the UK.
Your first investor: If after a few years together you decide it is time to build your own company, I want to be the first person you come to and, if it makes sense, your first investor.
Pay: £30,000.00-£32,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
