// from Matt Crawford

I spent years figuring out
what actually works.

I'm Matt Crawford, from Filmmaking Lifestyle. When I started my video production company in 2012, I had no idea how to market it. I had the skills. I had the drive. What I didn't have was a clear answer to the most basic question: how do you find clients who are willing to pay properly for serious video work?

I tried everything — some of it worked, most of it didn't, and almost none of it was tailored to a video business specifically. The generic marketing advice I found online was built for e-commerce stores, SaaS companies, and coaches. Not for production companies trying to land brand films, corporate clients, or high-end weddings.

Over the years, through trial and error and a lot of money spent learning what didn't work, I built up a picture of what actually does — across outbound, positioning, partnerships, referrals, pricing, content, and everything in between.

Filmmaker Marketing Easy Wins is that picture, organised into 200 specific tactics you can filter, search, and implement immediately. I built it so you don't have to spend years figuring it out yourself.

The most common reason marketing doesn't happen isn't lack of ideas — it's not knowing which idea is right for where you are right now.

What filmmakers are saying
about the wins they've had

"I'd been trying to get clients through Instagram for over a year with almost nothing to show for it. Within two weeks of using the Filmmaker Marketing Easy Wins strategies, I had three genuine enquiries. Two converted."
OT
Oscar Tanaka
Freelance filmmaker
"The section on email subject lines has transformed my outreach. My open rate went from 14% to over 40%. Small wins compound fast when you're systematic about them."
TD
Trisha Dahl
Video content creator
"I always struggled with knowing what to post and when. This pack gave me a proper content framework that I actually stick to. Within six weeks I started getting DMs from people who'd seen my work and wanted to hire me."
BM
Ben McLeish
Brand filmmaker
"The cold email templates were what I really needed. I stopped crafting individual messages from scratch every time and started converting prospects who'd never heard of me."
EF
Elena F.
Corporate video producer
"Marketing used to feel like the part of the job I was bad at. This changed that. The wins in here are genuinely achievable even if you're busy with client work. Nothing requires you to reinvent how you work — just smart adjustments."
IL
Isla L.
Wedding and commercial filmmaker
"I implemented the Google Business strategy on a Tuesday afternoon. By that Friday I had a call booked through Google search. I'd ignored that for years."
OY
Owen Y.
Local video production
"Finally — marketing advice written specifically for video professionals, not generic business coaches. The nuance here matters. Matt knows the industry."
LM
Lucas M.
Documentary filmmaker
"I used to feel embarrassed putting myself out there online. The framing in this kit recontextualised how I think about visibility. It's not self-promotion — it's just helping people find what they're looking for."
TF
Trisha Fletcher
Social media video specialist
"One afternoon going through this and I had a 90-day plan written. Before, I had no system. Just random posts and the occasional email I hoped would stick. This changed that."
DX
Dylan X.
Videographer and filmmaker
"I finally understood what I was actually selling."
"I'd been marketing myself as 'a videographer' and wondering why clients kept comparing me on price. The positioning section in this kit helped me articulate what made me different — and the calls changed overnight. People stopped asking what my day rate was and started asking how we could work together."
"My first DM led to a £4k project."
"I'd been posting consistently for months with almost no response. Then I overhauled my profile bio and changed how I was captioning my work using the advice in here. Someone saw one post, DM'd me, and hired me the following week for a brand film. I can trace it directly back to this kit."
"Referrals started coming in from nowhere."
"I implemented the follow-up email sequence and didn't expect much. Three months later, four of my past clients had referred someone to me. I hadn't done anything differently except show up properly in their inboxes. The compounding effect of this stuff is real."
