The Video Starter Kit

Stop saying "we should do video" and actually do it. A step-by-step system for founders and marketers who don't have a production team, a big budget, or a clue where to start.

Here's what video looks like at most small businesses

Someone says "we should do a video." Everyone agrees. Nobody writes a brief. Weeks pass. Eventually someone films something on their phone in bad lighting. It gets uploaded to YouTube. 47 views. Most of them are your mum.

The video sits there, lonely and unloved. Nobody makes another one. Six months later, someone says "we should do a video."

Repeat until the heat death of the universe.

This isn't because you're bad at marketing. It's because you don't have a system. And without a system, every video feels like reinventing the wheel — so you never get past the first one.

The Video Starter Kit exists to close that gap.

What changes when you have a system

Before

  • "What should we even film?"
  • "We can't afford an agency"
  • "I filmed one video and it took forever"
  • "I spent hours writing a script"
  • "We'll figure it out as we go"

After

  • A one-page strategy canvas tells you exactly what to make
  • Three production tiers, starting from free
  • A repurposing system: 1 video → 5+ pieces of content
  • AI prompts that write scripts sounding like you
  • A 30-day action plan. Step by step. Day by day.

Who this is for

Founders & solo marketers

Who keep putting "make a video" on next quarter's to-do list. Every quarter. For the past year.

Marketing managers

At companies where "do more video" is on the strategy deck, but nobody owns it and nobody knows how to do it.

Consultants & freelancers

Who know their personal brand needs video but can't justify hiring an agency to film a 90-second LinkedIn clip.

Anyone

Who's ever thought "we should really be doing more video" and then opened their laptop and done literally anything else instead.

This is NOT for professional videographers or agencies. This is for people starting from scratch who want a system, not a YouTube rabbit hole.

Who built this

Built by Ben Jay — Head of Video at a global tech company (1,200+ employees) and former creative producer at Google, across tech and traditional media.

This is the same system used to run video at scale, stripped of the enterprise overhead and repackaged for founders and small teams who just want to get started.

What people are saying

"I'd been putting off video for months. This gave me a system I could actually follow — filmed my first video within a week."

— Early beta user

"Finally, video advice that doesn't assume I have a £10k budget and a production team."

— Early beta user

"The brief template alone saved me hours of back-and-forth with freelancers."

The maths: A single freelance video costs £500–2,000. An agency project starts at £5,000. This kit gives you the system to create your own videos, on repeat, for less than the cost of lunch.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any video experience?

None. If you can record a Zoom call, you have all the technical skill you need. Everything else is in the kit.

What equipment do I need?

A smartphone and a quiet room. The playbook includes a full equipment guide starting from free (yes, free — as in £0).

Will this work for my industry?

The frameworks are industry-agnostic. SaaS, professional services, e-commerce, agencies, solo consultants — the principles are the same. You have customers. They have stories. Video connects the two.

Is this just theory?

No. Every chapter has fill-in templates, frameworks, and specific next steps. The whole system is designed to get you from "I should do video" to "I just published one" in 30 days.

I don't have time for video.

That's exactly why this exists. The system is built around 1–2 videos per month. The AI prompts cut scripting time by 80%. And the repurposing system means one video feeds your content for weeks. This is designed for people who are busy — not people with empty calendars.

Do I get updates?

Pro tier includes lifetime updates. New templates, updated AI prompts, new chapters — you get them all, automatically.

Your first video is probably easier than you think
