The Story · Since 2022, From broke beatboxer to 200+ brands
I beatboxed for a living. Holiday parks, schools, and when it was good, cruise ships. Then COVID hit and it all ended overnight. No stage, no income, no plan.
In 2022 I started stopping strangers on the street with a mic and a camera. I got rejected hundreds of times before I got good at it. In 2023 I worked out what the footage was actually worth: I found a small fragrance brand called ItsGoodScents through their own Instagram ads and pitched them something nobody was selling at the time: street interviews, cut into paid ads. They became my first brand deal. I approached, filmed, edited and delivered everything alone.
I listed the service on Fiverr and it ran. Then two things happened. Copies of my gig started stacking up underneath mine in the search results, and the work coming in outgrew what one person could film and edit. Once I was paying a team while the platform took 20%, the maths stopped working.
So in 2024 I launched Stradvert. If the thing I'd been selling from a gig page was becoming an industry, I wasn't going to watch it happen from the sidelines.
Today we film on three continents for 200+ brands. The 2023 invoice still exists. Ask me on a call and I'll show you.
