I couldn’t believe this actually worked.
My client had an open house. No one showed up.

So I made her a quick video, (just recorded myself with a few coaching tips and screen instructions) and told her exactly how to film it herself on her phone.

She followed it, filmed for 10 minutes, and sent me the clips.
We edited the video & sent back.

She boosted the post on Facebook for $10.

She got 5 leads. Five. From an empty open house.

Honestly, the video wasn’t even that great by my standards, but it worked.

That’s when I realized this could help a lot of people.
So we made it official.

It’s called the Kickstart Pack, a one-time, super affordable way to get better content, coaching, and results without hiring a full crew.

If you don’t already know, this is Dan Kathman, founder of Kathman Studios.

16 years ago, he took out a student loan and launched a video business from his dorm room at USF. What started as videos for student orgs, music videos, and short films quickly turned into work with local businesses… then national companies, international brands, five televised shows, and the story keeps going.

Today, Kathman Studios is a full-service content and social media agency based in Clearwater, FL, helping small brands look big with monthly photo, video, and marketing strategy.

Dan says:
“I’ve lost a business. I’ve watched my family struggle when companies went under. That’s why we exist: to help people build brands and businesses that don’t just survive, but thrive.

If we can help good people grow and reach their dream, I’ll do this every day for the rest of my life.

And it just so happens to be everything I love in one: entrepreneurship, marketing, social media, culture, video, photo, business growth, and helping people. Of course this is what I do.”

16 years later, and we still feel like we’re just getting started.

“Beware of the man in the t-shirt, not the man in the suit. If you walk into a room, and there’s 20 people sitting there, and 20 of them are wearing suit and tie, and there’s 1 person in the back of the room wearing a t-shirt, that’s the one with all the power. Because that person worked their a** off to get to a position to wear whatever they want to wear.”

- Robert Herjavec, Shark Tank Investor.

Explain what you do like you’re talking to an 8th grader.

Now do that every time, with everyone, about everything. That’s the secret to becoming a great communicator and being able to sell just about anything.

Drop the industry lingo. Speak plainly, but never boring. Be clear, not clever. And if you’re meeting in person, skip the PowerPoint—just speak to them.

The hardest part of marketing isn’t creativity—it’s clarity. Most people can’t explain what they do in a way that actually makes sense to normal people.

As Albert Einstein said, “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” And in the words of Blaise Pascal, “I would have written a shorter letter, but I didn’t have the time.”

Simple takes work. But simple works.

About Dan Kathman Studios

I've had a camera in my hand since I was 7 & started working professionally at 19.

I am a professional photographer & video maker.

I'm an American Movie Award winning screenwriter. I have a degree in Video Production from USF. I've had a camera in my hand since I was 7, I was the camera guy in most of the clubs in high school & college, and I went pro my first year in college at 19.

I've worked with National & Local companies as well as produced short films, ads, marketing & music videos. I've worked on regional commercials, feature films and much more. I've also worked with well known brands. As a photographer I primarily shoot portraits & headshots, but I shoot a lot of different type of photography that I love.
