Amazing 1st experience!! Had a great time connecting, getting some insights, working through some of my challenges, and brainstorming a few ideas to help generate some leads. So fortunate to connect with someone in the same line of business who knows exactly what I'm going through.

Bio

I've founded and managed two multi-million dollar video agencies and have created award-winning work for some of the world's largest brands. I’m also a consultant and coach and would love to help you build creative teams, video production pipelines, and develop video marketing strategy. I have been leading creative teams for decades and have been very lucky to have been mentored by generous and talented people in marketing & advertising. I'm here now because I'd like to pass on what I've learned and help you build the type of business I've enjoyed. My entire career has been about building growth and momentum for large brands, but it's also been about creating tremendous growth for myself. I've bootstrapped myself from zero to sixty time and time again, building successful companies with ongoing sales funnels that have produced some fantastic work. If you are responsible for creating advertising and marketing or building a company or team, I would love to help. You can read more about me at www.jonathandelgatto.com

Expertise

  • Branding

    Creating a brand is no small task; creating a brand story is central to every notable brand, and telling brand stories is at the center of my work. It sounds simple, but a deep dive into who a brand is, what it believes in, its values, what it does, why it exists, and who it serves is essential and a roadmap to many decisions.

Influencer marketing has become central to most brands' content strategies. My team and I have been working with brands to keep their content pipelines full of new and fresh influencer content ongoojng for years

    Product marketing sounds simple, right? Make a few ads, learn a little about paid advertising, programmatic television, and social media, and you're all set. Right? If only.

  • Meta Ads logo

    Meta Ads

    Facebook continues to be a go-to channel for many brands. But should it be? Is it still effective? Is there an audience for my products? Is there a reliable ROI? You will need a razor-sharp strategy and creative assets if it's a channel you decide to invest in.

Experience

  • Directors Cut: The Business of Video

    Founder

    Director and producer turned Directors Cut founder. I guide filmmakers and video pros out of gig-to-gig uncertainty and into reliable careers and sustainable businesses. I’ve spent years producing and directing work for brands, agencies, networks, and studios. I know what it’s like to be busy, booked, and still feel unsure where the next job is coming from. Director’s Cut was built to close that gap. This work isn’t about becoming an influencer or chasing every new tactic. It’s about clarity. Clear positioning, clear offers, and simple systems that support consistent work, better clients, and long-term momentum. Through workshops, group coaching, and practical tools, I help creatives shift from thinking like freelancers to operating like founders, without losing what made them good at the work in the first place.
