Founder-led video production that outlasts the shoot day.
Founder-led video production at Underboss Media is a system for consumer founders who want to be the face of their brand. It builds repeatable short-form formats on the company's own Instagram, TikTok and YouTube accounts, sets a weekly cadence the founder can keep, and writes the method into a playbook. It is not a film crew or a one-day shoot.
Want to know which format would suit you on camera before you record anything?
This is for consumer founders only. You get short-form formats built around what you know, a recording cadence you can keep, and a playbook your team can follow. Everything is posted from your own accounts. Paid budget goes only behind videos that already did well. The build runs twelve months, month to month, and you can walk away in any month with all of it. It starts with a free written teardown, sent within three days, with no call.
Show me what you would doFour ways founder video dies after the first month.
Founders go on camera for a good reason. People trust a person sooner than a logo, and the other way to get attention is to pay for it at a price that climbs. The idea is sound. What fails is how it gets set up.
“A shoot gives you a month of clips. A format gives the founder something to record every week.”
Two things left with the founder and the team.
Neither one needs a crew to turn up with equipment.
The Engine
A small set of short-form formats shaped around what you know and how you speak. Each has a set opening, a set length and one ask. They go out from your company's own Instagram, TikTok and YouTube accounts on a weekly rhythm. Each recording is planned with you, then reviewed and edited for you. You do not need a studio, and you do not need to turn into a presenter. If a creator or a faceless format would serve your product better than you would, that is what gets built.
The Playbook
The system on paper. It holds each format's structure, the recording routine, the editing rules and the check that decides if a format stays. Your team reads it, then runs parts of it under review. A new hire can pick it up without having been there when it was made. If you miss a week, it tells you how to pick the cadence back up.
One face, one cadence. Two records.
Two records show what this page is about. One person's personal brand reached 100M+ views in a few weeks, with that person as the face of every piece. A new YouTube channel reached 5M views in 4 months at 30 posts a month, starting with no audience at all. The first shows what a single face can carry, and the second shows what a steady cadence does for an account nobody follows yet. Both sit inside an operator record of 950M+ lifetime organic views, with $0 paid ad spend across the 2025 portfolio. Names are withheld under NDA.
“I write each teardown myself. If you are not the right face for your own product, I will say that before you spend a day in front of a lens, and I will say who or what should be there instead.”

- Month 1
Find the formats that suit the founder
The starting point is what you already say well, in interviews, pitches or old posts. That becomes a few trial formats. You record the first ones and they are posted from your accounts. Your current level of branded search is noted too, so later results have something to be measured against.
Output: Trial formats recorded and posted
- Months 2 to 9
Settle the cadence
Formats that send people searching for your company stay. The others are dropped. Recording becomes a fixed slot in your week, and someone on your team learns the planning and the edit one step at a time.
Output: Weekly cadence held, your team learning the edit
- Months 10 to 12
The routine belongs to your team
Your team plans the recordings, edits and posts. You turn up, record and leave. Outside review continues until the routine holds without it. You can stop in any month before then and keep the formats, the footage and the playbook.
Output: Founder records, your team runs the rest

Before you ask.
It is short-form video where the founder is the person on screen, made on a schedule and not as a one-off. Here it means three things for you: formats that suit you, a weekly recording cadence, and a written playbook. All of it is posted from accounts your company owns. You do not have to be polished. You have to be clear and keep the schedule.
No. This is not a crew for hire and shoot days are not sold. You get the formats designed, each recording planned with you, the edit, and the method in writing. If one polished brand film is what you need, a production company is the right call for you.
Either name fits, within limits. The work is founder video content on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus paid budget behind videos that already did well. Ghostwritten posts, PR, email and SEO are not part of it, and the work is for consumer companies only. If your company sells to other businesses, this is not the right service for you.
Most founders are stiff in the first recordings and that is normal. A fixed format helps, because you stop deciding what to say each time. If you still are not the right face, the formats are built around a creator or with no face at all. Your teardown will suggest which.
It depends on the formats, so it is set with you in your first month and no figure is quoted here. The aim is one fixed recording slot you can keep in a busy week. Planning, editing and posting are done for you at first and move to your team over the year.
Then the format is dropped. Views are tracked, but the number that counts is a single KPI set in your first month, normally branded search for your company's name. If the KPI we name is not climbing by month six, the next month is free.
Nothing. Send a link to your product and to any accounts you post on. In three days you get a written teardown with the formats to try first and a view on whether you should be the face. There is no call and nothing to sign. Pricing is not published, and a quote only follows if there is a fit.
