Founder Story Video Packages

For purpose-led businesses and independent professionals in Amsterdam

THE IDEA

People connect with people before they connect with services.

Most websites explain what someone does. Very few communicate who they are, why they do it, and what kind of feeling people can expect when working with them.

This package is for anyone who is good at what they do, but finds it hard to show it in a way that feels true to them.

This is for you if:
— You believe business is built between people, not pages, and you want the person behind your business to be the first thing people feel, and connect with.

— You've rewritten your about page more times than you can count, and it still doesn't express who you really are, because the best version of you doesn't live in a text box.

— Your work is good. But what makes you the right person, your warmth, your way of thinking, your presence, that doesn't come through words alone.

A potential client should leave your website feeling: I understand what you do. I trust you. I feel connected to you. I want to work with you.

See what this feels like.

HOW IT WORKS

1.  Discovery call — 45 min

We get to know each other. I listen to your story, your work, what you want people to feel. Together we decide which package fits and what content to focus on. No pressure, just a real conversation.

2.  You answer the preparation questions

After our first call, I send you 10 questions. You answer them in your own words, no need to polish them. I then use your answers to create a structure and a script for each video. I send it back to you before the second call.

3.  Coaching call — 45 min

We go through the scripts together. We adjust your words, make sure everything feels natural and true to you. We confirm the content and choose the background colour for filming. We also talk about what to wear and how to arrive feeling like yourself.

4.  Filming day — at the studio in Amsterdam

You arrive ready, hair, makeup, outfit sorted. For the structured videos (introduction, mission, values, what I solve) you will have the script in mind, not to recite it, but so the words feel familiar.

*For the Authentic You video (Premium only), there is no preparation. The conversation unfolds live. Nothing is rehearsed, and that is exactly where your authentic self shines.

5.  Post-production — around 3 working days

I edit all your videos and send them for review. One round of feedback per video, clearly structured. You receive final files ready to upload to your platforms.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What the filming day actually feels like

You arrive at the studio in Amsterdam. It is a quiet space. There is coffee. We sit down for a few minutes before anything starts.

The setup is simple, soft lighting, a background we chose together. No big crew, no complicated equipment.

For the structured videos, you know what you want to say, we have prepared it together. The camera is just there to capture you saying it naturally. It usually takes a few tries to find the right rhythm, and that is completely normal.

For the Authentic You video, the conversation stays unscripted. I ask the questions, you answer honestly. No preparation needed, and none expected. What comes out is often the truest thing in the whole film, and usually the part people remember most.
