A CReative business accelerator

Boutique Studios are profitable by design.

I help build them. In a room, not alone.
Redesign your studio for profit.

ParadisoWeek @DixonBaxi, Summer 2025

You're good. Like really good.

So why are your clients paying like you're not?

I built a studio to thirty-five people.

Seven figures. Awards. A full pipeline.And we were still paid for our hands.
I only saw why after I sold it.
A two-person studio came to me with a five-figure pitch on the table.
We didn't change the work.
We changed how they sold it.
The same pitch became a seven-figure project.Two people. No payroll.
I've spent twelve years teaching that to 400+ founders.
That's what Selling Creativity is.

It's for solo creatives and small studios.
Good work. Paying clients.
Not the clients or budgets you want. Yet.
Better clients. Without a bigger team.

By week twelve, you'll have:

→ A position people can remember.
→ An offer that opens doors.
→ A way to start the conversations.
→ A content system that keeps you visible when you get busy.
→ Under all of it: a new mind.
→ My Creative Business OS templates.

Six finished things. Built on your real business.

Big budgets. Small team.

Sagmeister. Rubin. Pentagram.
They don't chase clients. Clients chase them.
Not because of the work. Because of how they think.
You don't need their fame. You need one clear idea.
People remember ideas.
Nobody remembers a list of services.

Creativity is a way of life. Build a business that makes room for it.

Right now it probably doesn't.
→ The briefs come in at half what they should.
→ You quote low to win it.
→ You overdeliver to keep it. Then you do it all again next month.

That's not a talent problem.
‍It's a positioning problem.
Clients see someone who makes things. Not someone who thinks.
And nobody pays big money for hands.

One duo walked in quoting €5,000.
They walked out closing at €20,000.

Inside Selling Creativity, we fix three Core things

First, what you're known for.
One clear idea. Not a list of services.
‍
Second, what you sell first.
An offer that gets you in the room before the brief is written.

Finally, how buyers find you.
Conversations you start. Content that keeps working when you're busy.

I'VE BEEN THE FOUNDER WITH 35 PEOPLE ON PAYROLL.

DDD, Milan 2024

Built a seven-figure studio. Got out.
Helped a two-person studio turn a five-figure brief into a seven-figure project they led.
Twelve years. 100+ firms advised. 400+ founders taught. Most of it I learned by getting it wrong first. You don't have to.

HOW WE DO IT

You already know most of this.
You've read the books. You've saved the posts.
Nothing moved.Information was never the problem.
Momentum is.
‍
→ Every Friday. One challenge.
→ Every Thursday. You show the room what you did.
→ The room. Thirty people who are moving too.
→ Every month. A guest who's done it.

About three hours a week. You keep your client work.

Upcoming GUEST SPEAKERS

Every month, someone who's done it joins the room. They share what worked. They poke holes in your assumptions.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE DM ME

What is this?

>
Twelve weeks. Thirty people. Four real assets for your business. Not a course.

How much time?

>
About three hours a week. Keep your client work. Just show up.

Do I have to be live?

>
No. But Thursday is where the work happens. Missed it? Ask in the group.

How is this different from a course?

>
A course gives you information and hopes for the best. Here I see what you're building and tell you what's not working.

What does it cost?

>
Live: €3,000 total. Private: €6,000 total. Excl. VAT. Full refund if you cancel in the first two weeks.

What if it's not for me?

>
Stop paying. Leave. No awkwardness. It's an accelerator, not a hostage situation.

Can't I just use AI?

>
AI can give you options. It can't tell you which hard decision you're dodging. I will.
