How can small studios get to the million-$ mark?
Marko unpacks a powerful framework that he learned branding 60+ tv-stations around the globe, including real-world examples of creative studios.
A million-$ positioning is the first, yet most important step for any ambitious creative studio that wants to break through the million-dollar mark.
Yet you've realised it is not as simple as it first seemed when you started out.
Despite outstanding work, lesser qualified competitors always seem to get the bigger budgets.
You know your studio is capable of much more. So you wonder: “What do they have that we don't?”
Meet Marko Pfann. Despite starting, growing and selling his studio from ZERO to 4MIO in only 18 months, it wasn't a straight line.
Before winning his first big account, he struggled gaining any decent opportunities. After all, who would trust a "small studio". He felt stuck, overwhelmed and almost burned out.
Fortunately, Marko followed his mentors advice winning multiple 6 and 7 figure accounts within 18 months. The first key clearly was the positioning and everything you will learn in this training.
Marko invites you to embrace his powerful positioning framework and push your studio to its next level.

Frequently-Asked-Questions that I receive...
We already have an ARR beyond USD 3 million, can you still help us?
Yes, this is not just for small studios. I work with small studios and large agencies up to 10 million in ARR. Anything beyond that is out of my scope.
We are below USD 1 million, can this work for small studios too?
Yes absolutely. I have a clients whom I have personally helped in exactly this transition to break through the 1 million-dollar mark. Check the testimonials. Heck, I even have some freelancers that where able to get amazing results.
Do you also help creatives who want to get better at their craft, first?
No. I do not teach skills like design, animation, filmmaking, etc. You must already have mastered your craft. What I teach is for professional creatives, that want to get to a 7-figure annual recurring revenue (ARR), only.
Do you offer group coaching or one-on-one consulting?
It depends on what you want to invest, and need to get to the next level. I offer a group coaching program as well as bespoke one-on-one consultations.
We come from a different industry, will this work for us, too?
No. Please apply only if you are a creative professional or work inside the creative industry. Best suited are these or similar areas: Animation, Copy, Strategy, Design, Branding, Motion Graphics, UX/UI Design, Development, Film, VFX, Web Design, IT, Copywriting, Branding, Art Direction, Editing & Videography, Marketing & Consulting. — I help service based businesses in the creative and tech space. If you are unsure if that's you, reach out.
Do you guarantee specific results?
No. That would be unprofessional. I can never control how much my client commits to implementation. Yet I will discuss in a personal conversation with you what results are realistic for your current situation.
How expensive is your coaching, anyway?
It depends on your individual situation. Your situation determines the intensity of the support, which in turn determines the price. After the initial conversation, you will have an exact price. That said, you can get started from USD 100. Reach out for more info.
The proof is in the pudding!
Over the past 6 years, I've coached and consulted 300+ creative entrepreneurs in 2.000+ private sessions

A 2x increase in project budgets, during the pandemic
Your mentorship was pivotal during the pandemic, transforming my business from a small team of interns to a dynamic crew with two full-time employees.

Hey Marko. I’ve already applied what we’ve talked about and it has made it easy to close deals AND I now have a bit too much work on!!!

I doubled my quote on Marko's suggestion; the client accepted.
When I came to Marko, I was starting to have more work than I could handle. I didn't know what to do, especially about growing into a studio. Marko told me nobody knows what they're doing, and there is no one way to do it. That hit home. The whole experience with Marco was about figuring out what works for me. Discussing problems and setting goals with him was incredibly helpful. His masterclass and check-ins added even more value. I had an issue with low prices, attracting bad clients. Marko helped me see that. Raising my prices got rid of those clients, and it was for the best. Why recommend Marko? He's got real experience running a creative agency and knows the pitfalls. He shares his failures and learnings, which are incredibly insightful. Plus, he's kind and patient – everything you want in a great teacher. One thing that stands out is a project where I doubled my quote on Marko's suggestion. The client accepted, and that alone paid for his services. Marko gave me the push to think bigger, and it paid off.

A staggering 100% increase in revenue without acquiring new clients
I started working with Marko a few months ago, grappling with issues like pricing, self-esteem, and valuing my work. The most significant change since working with Marko? A massive boost in confidence and a clear action plan to increase my pricing. Before Marko, I didn't realize the untapped potential in my client relationships. He helped me see the need to maximize the benefits of my services. We restructured my work efforts, which led to a staggering 100% increase in revenue without acquiring new clients. This revenue boost wasn't just about numbers; it transformed our studio. We're now in a comfortable position, delivering better work and attracting superior clients. What stands out is how Marko assisted me in submitting an estimate to a major client on a tight deadline. His guidance was instrumental in getting the largest budget I've ever proposed approved. This single action doubled our revenue over the next few months. I'm incredibly grateful for Marko's help, which has taken our studio to new heights. His coaching has been a game-changer, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their business.

Marko redefined my standards and made me go after bigger fish for my podcast — It worked
My journey with Marko has been transformative. As an entrepreneur in design strategy, I was often distracted by 'shiny objects'. Marko's support brought much-needed clarity, helping me narrow my focus in industrial design and design strategy. His NLP background led to challenging conversations, which were crucial in reframing my perspective and tackling challenges effectively. I'd recommend Marko to anyone feeling stuck or looking to think bigger. He's great at challenging your thoughts, keeping you accountable, and pushing you to grow. With his guidance, I've also refined my approach to hosting my podcast, engaging more deeply with guests like Joe Foster of Reebok and
Stefan Ytterborn of Cake. Marko's coaching has given me clarity and confidence, enabling deeper conversations with clients and leaders. If you're ready to question your beliefs and grow, Marko is your go-to guy. He's helped me focus on what truly matters, driving my business with clarity and passion.

While working with Marko, we got to the essence of what clients need and want to hear and how to integrate that into our website. Now, when we get on a call with new clients, they have a clearer picture of what to expect from us, which is a huge advantage because we can close even big deals faster.

Marko is a fantastic coach. He has really helped us to step up - in how we position ourselves, and how we approach finding new clients. As well as how we talk to clients in a way that helps identify their problems and gain their trust. On top of all of his really clear and practical advice, Marko has also been fantastic at helping us appreciate the value we already have and how to communicate it. This has led to newfound confidence and has helped to shift our perspective. With his guidance, we've found the strength to get out of our comfort zone to be more ambitious. There's no denying that Marko's continued help and support have led us to significant growth.

Marko has a great way of nailing down and seeing your potential. He keeps one motivated and is as excited about ones success almost as much as you. With his impressive experience in the creative world, his networking abilities and curiosity I will be back when I start to scale my business.I managed to sign on two clients with a third in the pipe and grow my network whilst under the guidance of Marko. Highly recommend. If you're on the fence - jump on a call it will be worth it.

I really can't recommend Marko enough to creative business owners. He has delivered so much clarity and wisdom in a few weeks and has answered questions and addressed struggles that I've been dealing with for years. One of the thing that impresses me most about his masterclass is that he provides a framework for an entire creative business AND a framework for actually doing it. He knows the creative business and market inside and out. And he knows the weaknesses of creative business owners. I'll be processing and implementing everything I've learned for months, probably years.

My experience working with Marko? It's all about clarity. Before partnering with him, I felt trapped in a small room. Marko didn't just open the door; he threw open the windows too, bringing in a fresh perspective on problems and solutions. He helped me see possibilities I hadn't considered and guided me towards my goals. What stands out about Marco is his genuine experience. He's not just a guy who's read a few books or come up with ideas in the shower. He's walked the path he's guiding you on, which makes a world of difference. Working with someone who's been in your shoes, who's navigated the journey themselves – that's invaluable. So, if you're a creative at a crossroads, needing a new perspective, or focusing on a specific goal, Marko is your go-to guy.

Marko, I want to thank you for helping us to get our agency to the next level. We have been working together now for just over a month, but I can already see the results. I think it's really important for us to work together with someone knowledgeable like you are, you know what you're talking about, and you're giving us the tools and the frameworks to achieve our goals, which is just wonderful.

From the onset, Marko has been a beacon of support for us. His insights were invaluable in shaping our internal strategies, helping us understand our identity, our goals, and how we resonate with our clients.

We only had one session with Marko. In that session, we received important impulses, which helped us to rethink and restructure some parts of our company.

A 3x increase in budgets, and a significant revenue growth
I simply didn’t know what I didn’t know! I knew we had the skills to sell 6-figure websites, but I couldn’t find a way to break through on my own. Thanks to your mentorship, OldSpeak has transformed. We've moved from seeing $20,000 as our ceiling for website prices to confidently tripling that, understanding our worth and no longer feeling intimidated in rooms with high-end buyers; this newfound confidence is invaluable. Achieving our break-even point before Q3 was a milestone, as was overcoming a scarcity mindset, enabling me to confidently price our services. This shift, along with your pricing strategy, has elevated our market stance and tripled our project values.

My Coaching Process? — NLP & Psychography
There are 3 glass ceilings that prevent creative entrepreneurs from accessing the budgets they needed to create standout work.
If you feel like you've hit a glass ceiling with your business and feel stuck, it's time to rewrite your playbook with me.
My approach to business growth hinges on a belief that the fusion of personal development and simple business concepts is key, as personal growth is the essence of business mastery.
I don't just lecture; I train. Traditional business education is flawed and mostly ineffective. Much like a soccer player needs the right mindset, hunger, and practice more than information, entrepreneurs need practical training, not just theoretical knowledge.
My mission is to guide creative entrepreneurs in shattering the three glass ceilings of confidence (self-leadership) and influencing teams, clients, and markets positively.
Combining this hands-on approach with solid business systems to build a million-dollar creative studio. My vision is to be a guiding light for hungry entrepreneurs, helping them to grow their business with confidence.
Here, I start where others stop: with the subconscious mind.
Subconscious Confidence is at the core of my method, ensuring that the transformation extends beyond conscious understanding to a deep, intuitive level.
This approach involves reprogramming your mind to not only raise your confidence but align your subconscious beliefs with your entrepreneurial goals, making your actions more intuitive and effective. It's like installing a new operating-system on your hard-drive.
I also believe in Playful Competence. To excel, you need practice, but applying new skills in real-world scenarios can be daunting. That's why I focus on training your sales and marketing muscles in a playful, story-driven manner, ensuring that when you step into the real world, you do so with muscle memory and competence.
My promise to you is a transformative journey where breaking through the glass ceilings of confidence and influence becomes a tangible reality. You'll not only acquire the knowledge to build a seven-figure business but also feel good about it.

My Journey
I've been there I was stuck myself.
Till I realised that the advice from business gurus won't help me as a creative person.
So I embarked on a journey to find a more human approach to sales and marketing — and I did.
Today I help creatives find their own way to entrepreneurship.
I am Marko Pfann
My journey in creative entrepreneurship wasn't always bold.
With over 20 years in the creative industry, I've experienced both highs and lows, chasing milestones often at odds with my values.
I've won over 20 prestigious awards and made millions, only to lose it all due to value conflicts with my business partner, leading to a complete career rebuild.
As a creative…
I too struggled with outreach and sales, until I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), which transformed my work and my life, fast.
I became a bestselling freelancer, branding over 60 tv-stations globally, before turning 35.
In 2011, I co-founded my own studio
Within 18 months, we bootstrapped a motion & branding studio from zero to USD 4 million in ARR, serving major tv-stations.
After selling my company…
I moved on to teaching what I've learned to fellow creative entrepreneurs, helping my very first client to develop a low-budget pitch into a staggering 7-figure project.
So far, I’ve trained over 300 creative entrepreneurs in the EU & US through more than 2000 private coaching sessions.
I teach sales and marketing, with a particular focus on enhancing confidence & competence through NLP frameworks so creatives can access the budgets they need for standout work.
A playful approach
My unique approach of business concepts combined with professional coaching delivered clear results. Below are the core statements:
Multiplying ARR 2x, 3x, & 10x in 12-18 months through NLP-based positioning and sales trainings
Working with dream clients and doubling or tripling project budgets without increasing work scope
Enhancing sales competence and confidence for public communication.
Looking to secure bigger budgets from brave clients and create work that let's you stand out?
Client Feedback
People we used to serve with my studio.
We gave Marko and the team very little by way of a brief, and even less by way of time to complete the job. The job was done, exceeding our expectations.

I met Marko at his previous company, which we had hired to do an overall brand review of our platform (and over 50 channels) in Malaysia. — My team and I were very impressed at how Marko seemed to get exactly what we were after right from the start.

Markos attention to detail is only matched by his ability to get to the essence of ideas and organizing the work into a flawless delivery.
