Real stories from the people I have coached, in their own words. From the BBC ## “Having worked closely with Andy and witnessed his successful pivots through different careers, I can think of no better career coach for people in our industry.” Kate Phillips, Chief Content Officer, BBC ![From newsroom editor to YouTube lead](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/1A5ZP0x_BSYPniDBWznhlDRWhB0mphdjJ=w800) Case study ## From newsroom editor to YouTube lead Kevin was an Emmy-nominated editor in a newsroom facing a merger, and the creativity had gone. We put his storytelling first, not his news credits. Three interview rounds later he is senior video editor on a 4 million subscriber true crime channel. [See the case study](https://andysockanathan.com/results/kevin-weber) Case study ## From development exec to creative director Tom had 25 years in TV and two or three days a week of bits and pieces. We found the business in the skills he already had. Since launching his own company in May: seven sprints, over a dozen clients, and double his old freelance income.

Andy helped me see that and more importantly gave me the confidence and tools to do something about it. I negotiated a 40% pay rise.” Kate Hampel, Series Editor / Director #### “I'd always thought of myself as a freelancer looking for the next job. Freelancer to Founder got me thinking about what I could actually sell. I went out and got my first client.” Tom Bomford, Producer / Business Owner #### “My entire approach is starting to change, because I'm no longer reliant on just one contract.” Andy, Shooting P/D, July Cohort **These are from Freelancer to Founder**, my eight week group programme. The next cohort starts in January. [See the programme →](https://andysockanathan.com/f2f) 1:1 Coaching ## From one to one clients. #### “I knew I wanted to explore what lay beyond traditional broadcast, but I couldn’t fully understand what I was selling. Andy helped me work out what was genuinely distinctive about my experience and how I could use my broadcast background to work directly with brands.” Roman Green, Series Director #### “I'd spent years thinking about myself in terms of TV jobs and credits. Working with Andy, I realised there's a business in the stuff I've spent my career being good at. I've now got a much clearer focus around bringing broadcast standards into digital spaces.” Matt Wenham, Creative Lead for TV / Digital #### “I'd always seen broadcast, esports and running a football club as three separate parts of my career. Andy made me realise the combination is actually the thing that makes me different. I'm now approaching organisations with a much clearer idea of what I can offer them.” Andrew Painten, Production Leader #### “I came to Andy because the old TV route wasn't working anymore. Since then I've landed my first branded-content job and started getting approached about opportunities I wouldn't previously have considered. I feel excited about filmmaking again.” Sam Goss, Filmmaker #### “Working with Andy was a genuinely great experience: insightful, energizing, and super fun. He helped me clarify what I really want for my future and gave me the tools and confidence to shape my goals with intention.” Niall O'Driscoll, SVP, Development and Current, Studio Lambert #### “We worked on how to position myself, laid out a strategic plan for client acquisition and he made me feel approximately 700% more confident about being back in play. TLDR: Andy is great.” David Levin, writer and founder of That Lot Social Agency #### “Andy helped me clarify my direction, offerings and next steps. He brings a winning combination of insight, enthusiasm, and targeted practical action to his coaching.” Natascha, Founder, Nikolai Communications #### “Through our sessions, he guided me to reimagine my business name, refine my branding and gain total clarity on the vision and journey I want to create for my clients.” Katie Grover, Founder, Mind Body Coach **These are from my 1:1 coaching**: nine private sessions over four months, built around you.
