The Packages

Five Steps. Each One Builds On The Last.

Start with research, then add the steps your channel needs. Each step includes the ones before it. No lock-in to a package you do not need yet.

  1. 01
    Research & Content Strategy
    Entry point · scoped engagement

    Before anything gets made, we find out what already works in your space. You get a named deliverable: the competitor and outlier report.

    • Competitor teardown
    • Formats that work in your niche
    • Outlier videos and why they broke out
    • Opportunity map: what to make first
  2. 02
    Packaging
    Titles · thumbnails · intro

    Your title and thumbnail earn the click. Your opening earns the attention. Built from what the research showed.

    Includes step 1
    • Title copywriting
    • Thumbnail design
    • Hook: written or selected from your footage
    • Fully edited intro
  3. 03

    • What to fix
    • Monthly report and next-month plan
  5. 05

    Includes steps 1–4

    • Landing page
    • Tracking, so every lead is traced to a video

Client Roster
Bitcoin Archive Podcast
PRODUCER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Bitcoin Archive is one of the most influential media brands in its category, with 1.8M followers on X. The brief: convert that social footprint into a premium audio-visual product. I produced the podcast end-to-end: built the studio, filmed and edited every episode, and shaped the intro hooks.

"Heliand didn't just produce our podcast, he built it from nothing into something our sponsors actually wanted to be part of. The production quality changed how seriously people take the show." — Archie Belik, Bitcoin Archive
  • Built the show from zero: designed and launched a broadcast-quality studio
  • Owned all creative direction — intros, thumbnails, brand identity
  • Secured and managed sponsorship partnerships with Gemini and Debifi
  • Produced and hosted episodes with senior industry figures

About

Who's Behind the Camera

I'm Heliand — an independent video producer and creative director working at the intersection of Bitcoin, finance, and premium personal brands. I built this practice the way I approach every project: fewer, better relationships over high-volume freelance work.

I currently split my time between an ongoing role as Head of Video for creator Luke Mikic and select brand projects — the same standard of accountability applies to both.

Based: UK, currently Work style: Remote-friendly, flexible across timezones Response time: Within 24 hours
Is This a Fit?

Not For Everyone

I work best with a specific kind of client — and I'd rather tell you upfront than waste your time on a call.

We'll Work Well Together If

  • You value a long-term creative partnership over a one-off transaction
  • You choose the right partner for the job, not the cheapest quote
  • You have a real marketing budget and treat video as an investment, not a line-item to minimize
  • You trust a creative director's judgment rather than directing every frame
