Episode notes
Agency Revenue Resets Every Month
- Video agencies repeatedly restart monthly sales because project work is one-off and inconsistent.
- This creates severe cash cycle issues and unpredictable profitability for agency owners.
David's Agency Cashflow Struggle
- David runs Affinity Media Group, a video agency with £10k/month and four staff that serves the NHS.
- He earns seasonal profit only three months a year and suffers an ~7 month cash conversion cycle.

- James argues the first 30 seconds and precise wording multiply a video's performance far more than production polish.
