We help businesses in the entertainment industry who are brilliant at delivery yet struggle to grow and feel invisible to the market.
Sound familiar?
You’re losing deals to worse products.
The other lot win because they tell the story and you explain the spec.
Hiring without systems
" If I can just hire the right person they'll figure it out and take this off my plate. "
Staying in the field
" I'm the best at this and the client expects me there. If i step back, quality drops and we lose deals"
Most technical founders believe excellent work should be enough. It isn’t. The companies winning your deals aren’t better at the craft. They’re better at the commercial side: story, pipeline, team, numbers. That’s fixable, and it’s faster to fix than you think.
Five mistakes that keep good companies stuck
I see the same five in almost every business I look at. You’ll recognise at least three.
Reacting without a north star.
“If we keep delivering great work and saying yes to the right jobs, growth will happen on its own.”
Staying in the field.
“Clients expect me there. If I step back, quality drops and we lose the deal.”
Leading with features, not emotion.
“Our product is better. If I explain the specs clearly enough, they’ll get it.”
Flying blind on the numbers.
“I know roughly where we are. I don’t need the detail, I just need more revenue.”
Hiring without systems.
“If I can just find the right person, they’ll figure it out and take this off my plate.”
