Big Budgets
Brave Clients

Business training for creators and artists, who want to beat the market

You're a creator, an artist at heart, and a business owner by day. You are turning over 6-figures annually, and now you want to break through that million-$ ceiling.

Yet despite making 6-figures, you find yourself still dealing with low-budget clients and pitching for mediocre projects. You know you could do so much more, but you have no idea how to make it work!

It feels like you are stuck surviving, right?

Let's talk
Discover what's possible for you!

What's possible for you

Once you commit to running your business like a true artist, and stop copying other peoples business, you'll swiftly break free from survival mode.
Before working with Marko

Creators in Survival Mode

  • Stuck pitching for low budget work
  • Stuck with micromanaging clients
  • Sleepless nights due to payroll issues
  • ZERO growth for the past 10 years
After working with Marko

Creators in Business Mode

  • Asked to work with great brands
  • Trusted with their expertise
  • Know how to access bigger budgets
  • Know how to win brave clients
HELL YES!
Let's get you out of survival mode!

The 3 Ceilings

Great artists are not born. They are self-made.

Here is how:
Going from a hustling artist to a 7-figure business owner requires three distinct paradigm shifts. Ignoring them is why you are unable to attract high-ticket buyers.
Master your craft

1. The Artist Ceiling

Sophisticated buyers don't want cookie-cutter work. They want you to find your own voice and really own it.

Package your excellence

2. The Business Ceiling

Raise your market value. Smash through the million-$ ceiling, by articulating the commercial value of your work.

Promote yourself

3. The Market Ceiling

Push yourself well beyond the million-$ mark. Expand your network, and make social media work for you.

Get to your next level
Yes, I am an artist.

Be the artist—beat the market

To outperform any market, creative or not, you have to do less, not more. It's impossible to scale your revenue/profits the way you are currently running your business.

You will not win outperform the market by putting in more effort or hiring more people.

Move away from low-budget clients, access bigger budgets from brave clients, and produce work that lets you stand out. High-ticket clients don't want hustlers, they want artists. Be the artist—beat the market!

I firmly believe that a true creator/artist can outperform the market by doing less, focusing on her craft—even in a global recession.

I'm Marko Pfann, a designer and former studio owner. For the past decade, I've empowered over 300 creative business owners in 1-on-1 engagements to break through barriers, conquer challenges, and navigate uncertainties using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Using NLP, I've developed one of the most profound business training programs for creative minds, going beyond traditional consulting, installing a deep confidence that leads to competence.
Want to outperform the market?
Yes, I can't wait to get started!

Who is Marko Pfann?

2001 - 2011

Bestselling Designer

23+ years in the industry; branded 60+ tv-stations; 21 awards; traveled the world as a designer and studio owner.

2011 -2014

Nifty Studio Owner

We boot-strapped a motion & brand studio from 0 to 4MIO USD in ARR within 18 months, serving gigantic tv-stations.

Since 2014

Challenging Mentor

As a deeply trained NLP coach I helped 300+ business owners, in private sessions to increase their numbers & their thinking.

What doesn't work

After working closely with over 300 creators, artists & studio owners in private engagements, I've noticed a pattern—it's not a lack of information that is holding you back, but the competence to apply the knowledge to your situation and the confidence to strive for a way bigger vision.

Let me be very clear—the following won't lead to success:

The latest sales technique from Instagram

Don't adopt pushy sales tactics on social media; they won't impress high-ticket clients. Steer clear of following sales coaches who haven't closed seven-figure deals themselves.

The next online course promising A NEW WAY

Investing in yourself is key. But for real change, just taking an online course won't do. As a creative, you need accountability and someone who truly gets the creative mindset.

Shady consultants claiming they have all the answers

We're facing the worst time in history when it comes to selling creativity. What used to work does't anymore. It's impossible to predict the markets future. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying.

Communities full of people with a scarcity mindset

I feel your need for community support; but choose your peers wisely. Surrounding yourself with people stuck in a scarcity mindset will be hindering your progress.

What truly makes a difference:

After two decades of working closely with creators, artists & studio owners, AND going through the journey myself, I've found that systematically tackling the 3 ceilings in your creative journey will lead to outstanding leaps in your business. You will get you out of survival mode, speed up your revenue growth, strengthen bonds with clients, and boost your market influence. You will be able to outperform the market.
Let's break through!
Yes I want to experience that!

Plenty of exciting opportunities!

Sophisticated buyers seek partners who navigate uncertainty with them. Understand their needs and learn to attract them naturally, freeing yourself from micro-management and traditional marketing.

Access to big budgets!

Many clients I've coached have 5x or 10x their project budgets in a year, breaking the million-dollar ceiling and doubling or tripling their profits. One of my first clients even reached an 8-figure business valuation.

Resources to hire top talents!

Outstanding work requires the right team. With the right resources, you can prioritise finding the right artists over hiring affordable freelancers. It's about offering creative freedom to explore and experiment.

Clients ready to take a risk!

Bold work demands more than big budgets and brave clients, yet they're essential. Learn to lead your clients, your team, and yourself beyond established comfort zones to where true magic happens.

Frequently-Asked-Questions

We are above the million-$ mark, can you still help us?

Yes absolutely. I work with legendary studio making high 7, even 8-figures in ARR. What I teach you is not bound to a specific revenue level but the proficiency of your business and marketing procedures.

Do you also help creatives who want to get better at their craft, first?

No. I do not teach skills like design, animation, filmmaking, etc. You must already have mastered your craft. What I teach is for professional creatives, that want to get to a 7-figure annual recurring revenue (ARR), only.

Do you offer group coaching or one-on-one consulting?

It depends on what you want to invest, and need to get to the next level. I offer a group coaching program as well as bespoke one-on-one consultations.

We come from a different industry, will this work for us, too?

No. Please apply only if you are a creator, artist and/or studio owner. If you are unsure if that's you, reach out.

How fast can we expect results?

I don't guarantee specific results. It would be unprofessional. I can not control how much my clients commit to implementation. That said, if you follow the training, and put in the effort you will experience progress within a few weeks. BUT please also be realistic. To get from 6 to 7 figures will take months, maybe years. It depends on your situation. However it's my job to get your there faster, and with more clarity and more certainty. If you want to get a better idea about what is possible in your situation, please reach out and let's have a chat and find out what's possible for you.

Business coaches are a dime a dozen, so what sets you apart, Marko?

My tailored coaching and training courses fast-track your progress to the next level, faster, because all my trainings and coachings are based on NLP, setting me apart in the global market. With over 300 creators, artists & studio owners achieving success, my approach not only works, but shows that a mindset training alongside nifty concepts, actionable challenges + a simple accountability system is what the creative market really needs.

Will I be able to sign up later at the same price?

The best price is always now! Since quick decisions lead you to success faster, quick deciders are always rewarded with me. See it as a free exercise to learn to make decisions faster.
