The only pro-level video production course for educators and experts.
Produce polished short videos that grow your brand, engage your audience and take minutes to create.
Yes, you should be sharing video content.
No, you shouldn’t just know how to do it well.
But gosh, the internet certainly makes you feel like you should, doesn’t it?
Between the tech bros bragging about their six-figure businesses and the influencers making creation look effortless, it’s easy to assume that every video you post should land smack bang on everyone’s Explore page.
Yet, despite trying different trends, experimenting with audios and spending hours on editing, the results never quite stack up. Right?
You know video has the potential to skyrocket your reach, boost engagement and increase sales.
You’ve probably seen the stats:
People are 12x more likely to share video content than text or images*.
Video content improves knowledge retention by up to 60% in educational contexts.*
9 out of 10 consumers say video helps them make a purchasing decision.*
And you’ve almost certainly seen the results that educators and experts like you are getting from their videos.
Like Suzannah, whose videos consistently increase visibility and create a spike in enquiries.
"This week alone, I’ve had two enquiries about the TESOL course, and it’s only Wednesday…and several bookings for ESOL classes, which is amazing!" — Suzannah Redmond, Train-to-TEFL
And Renata, whose videos have led to glowing student feedback and more impactful courses.
“Making videos was a game changer for me” — Renata Kucharska, Be Heard English & E-Solutions for ELT
But every time you try to record?
We’re guessing it:
Feels forced, scripted and uncomfortable - and nothing like you
Looks unpolished and unaligned with your brand
Gets a handful of likes and encouraging comments, but little else
Takes you far longer to film and edit than you’d like
If we had a Franc for every time an accomplished educator told us this, we’d be sipping hot chocolate in the Swiss Alps and recording for fun.
But lucky for you, people don’t hand out Francs that easily. So, we’ll show you how to fix it instead.
Take it from two media experts:
You can record share-worthy content that supports your mission, enhances your marketing and feels authentic to you...
…Even if you have no experience, aren’t ‘good’ on camera or have a limited amount of time.
We’re Laura and Haven, the creative duo behind Communicating for Impact and (hopefully) your new video mentors.
GRUZEI!
With over 30 years spent producing content for major education brands, we know how great video can expand your influence, boost your sales and further your mission by sparking conversations that matter.
But we also know how hard it can be to create.
Without professional editing guidance hard-working educators and experts miss out on the value of video. Or worse, many get tricked into thinking they need to invest in expensive gear or chase trends to get noticed. You don’t.
Because we’re showing you how to capture pro-level content that fits your budget, brand and schedule and gets you real results. (Not just likes or follows.)
Come and join us inside…

Not everything needs to be a video. You’ll learn to identify ideas worth recording, so you can invest your time and energy into content that boosts your sales (not just your ego).
“I liked the bite-sized and straight-to-the-point style of the programme, which helped me get things done. The step-by-step, templates and examples you gave us throughout were clear, simple and actionable. I particularly liked the mini-series templates and the use of storyboards to structure my videos. As an e-learning designer, I use storyboards for course creation, and yes, they are just perfect for short-form video creation too! ”
A video course made for educators and thought leaders with little time and lots to say.
Through bitesize videos, self-paced content and plug-and-play templates, we’re breaking down everything you need to produce content that drives results.
Study between lessons or meetings.
We release short how-to videos, resource guides and challenges every Monday. Work through them at your own pace from our easy-to-use learning studio.
Improve each video with expert feedback.
We’ll provide tailored feedback on every video you create during the sprint so you improve your skills and boost the impact of your content every week.
Get inspiration & support in live Q&As.
We’ll meet every Tuesday at 2pm (CET) to chat about the week’s topic, discuss what you plan to record and answer any questions to keep you on track and energised.
Connect with our community channel.
Share your wins and troubleshoot challenges with fellow educators in the Communicating for Impact WhatsApp group.
Create new content every week.
You don’t have time for more theory and no practice. That’s why we set weekly recording challenges complete with actionable guidance, prompts and templates.
Enjoy 12-months’ access to pro-level templates.
After the sprint, you’ll retain access to our Resource Vault, where you’ll find storyboards, ideas and prompts to turn your video sprint into a marathon. (Minus the pain.)
Plus:
Get a 30-minute private video planning session.
In week 5, you’ll meet with Laura for a 30-minute creative planning session. From crafting a mini-series to promote your work to filming short educational clips, we’ll develop a series of video ideas that keep you inspired for months after the course.
Whether you want to build your professional reputation on LinkedIn or connect with new clients on Instagram, we’ll co-create videos that amplify your message and feel exciting to share.
And we’ll show you how to do it in minutes, not hours.
““I learnt invaluable new skills in a very short space of time and had a lot of fun doing so!””
When Sandra started the Video Venturer, she didn’t think she could produce studio-quality videos on her own. Since then, she has made video a key part of her organic growth strategy, using our templates and editing tips to engage her audience.
She even launched a brand-new podcast, Pro Deutsch, to bring her content to more people.

✔️ A message your audience needs to hear.
What you don’t need to create videos:

Yep… it really can be that simple. Don’t let the tech bros tell you otherwise.
“I never thought I’d be able to produce engaging and high-quality videos without professional help. The Video Venturer teaches you everything you need to know about setting up to record (such as lighting, microphones and mobile phone apps) and provides a very structured approach to creating your first videos. I really appreciated having templates for planning my videos and learning how to storyboard. The biggest surprise was how easy editing can be if you know what software to use and how to use it.”
Tuition from two leading producers, for one simple investment.

Plus, lock in a 1-to-1 strategic planning session with Laura to map out your long-term video plan or next big campaign.
Hi, not based in Switzerland? 🇨🇭
Use this tool to convert to your preferred currency. Two-part payments are available wherever you’re joining us.
Don’t tell the tech bros, but:
We’ll show you how to set your studio up for under 300 CHF.
*That’s less than £300, €350 or $400. Not bad, huh?
Assuming you already have a smartphone, all you’ll need is a static stand or tripod, mobile lights and a microphone. That’s it. In the first week, we’ll recommend quality gear to suit every budget. No nasty surprises, no sneaky upsells, no hidden agenda.
That’s the perk of working with a team of media experts that have seen it all*.
*and by ‘all’ we mean expensive speakers that blow up. But like we said: no nasty surprises here.
“The Video Venturer program was so easy and clear to navigate. Help was available at all times and the materials were top-notch. Even a video-making novice couldn’t fail to improve their skills. I highly recommend this course if you would like to start making videos but just don’t know where to start. Everything is so clearly explained.”
People will remember your message more clearly and for longer.
You’ll build trust with your audience more quickly.
You’ll create a bank of content you can recycle in future.
Your audience will better understand your work and why it matters.
You’ll reach a wider audience with accessible and engaging content.
And, if you’re like many Video Venturers, you’ll also increase enrolments.
When you know how to record great videos...
You may be wondering…
-
We’ll show you how to use Adobe Express because it’s user-friendly, web-based and compatible with both mobile and desktop.
Plus, Adobe offers a free limited plan, which is perfect when you’re just starting. There is a paid Premium version, which you can trial, that includes more editing credits and options.
If you already use another video editing tool, you can use it to complete the challenges, as editing principles are the same across the board.
-
We recommend around 2-3 hours per week to:
learn fast with our bite-sized videos
create with our weekly challenges
take part in our live Q&A sessions
We want you to move from idea to recording in minutes, not hours. That’s why we’ve included example videos, prompts, and templates to help you start recording as quickly as possible and see results.
We’ve also included a weekly challenge, as learning is much more fun when we do it together.
-
We host 30-minute live Q&A sessions every Tuesday at 2 pm Central European Time during the sprint. Use this planner to check the time for your time zone.
You can just drop in to chat about the topic, brainstorm ideas and ask questions to keep moving on your video journey. We’ll host them on Google Meet and send reminders before each one takes place.
-
Laura hosts open office hours on Slack on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 10 am-11 am Central European, where you can ask questions. Even if you can’t attend, leave a message or voice note, and Laura will get back to you during office hours. 😊
-
This video production course is aimed at busy educators and experts like you who would love to create short 1-3-minute videos for your marketing, communications, or even as part of your services.
You don’t need to be great on camera, tech-savvy or even have ideas on what to record. We designed this programme to fit your busy schedule and needs.
-
Absolutely. We offer tailored programmes for organisations looking to scale their impact through video. Because every team’s goals and schedules differ, we build a custom package for each closed cohort. Contact us for a quote.
Video should drive your mission forward, but it shouldn’t drive you insane.
In the Video Venturer, we’ll show you how to record content the right way—by using natural curiosity and your personality to invite attention, rather than manipulative hooks that demand it.
Because you don’t need gimmicks to keep folk watching when you’ve got a message worth sharing.
