Have you ever wondered how to take the leap from creating client work to producing original content that you are passionate about? Today on the show I talk with D.C. Joseph, founder of Serif Creative, about how he is breaking out into the realm of creating original content with his video production business. Doug has found a way to produce original content while simultaneously maintaining a healthy commercial production business and shares how he was able to make this a reality. Sometimes you have to step out and do what it takes to make your dream happen, regardless of if you feel like the timing is perfect. Focus on the things that you can control and make it happen! Key Takeaways   Don’t neglect thinking like an ad agency even if you are a company of one. Use the 7 story archetypes to build strong foundations for the stories that you produce. How to shift your business to be capable of producing the original content that you want to make. Learn to control what you can and lean into effective preparation in order to succeed.  About D.C. (Doug) Joseph D.C. Joseph is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Serif Creative. They help brands achieve creative greatness.  Over the years, he’s become an award-winning, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, a producer of international campaigns, a strategic advisor to C-suite executives, and the Executive Director of the Columbus International Film Festival, the oldest film festival in the U.S. His journey through entrepreneurship has been anything but easy or ordinary. It encompasses learning the art of storytelling in his grandmother's biker bar to competing in mixed martial arts and international grappling tournaments to filming music videos in Iceland. These collective experiences helped him develop his craft of bringing stories to life through film. As brands began to request his work, he saw how he could impact their broader marketing needs, ultimately setting the foundation for Serif Creative. Today, his passion is rooted in Serif—community, team building, and establishing a company that can provide for creatives—continue to grow. They motivate his team and him to seek new experiences to sink their teeth into and eagerly raise the bar when it comes to storytelling and creating meaningful connections.  In This Episode   [0:00] Welcome to the show!

E18 - Doug Joseph of SERIF Creative

Filmmaking is all about telling a story, and knowing the best way to connect with your audience is key when it comes to being a successful storyteller. In the latest episode of cbuzz, Doug Joseph takes us through his not-so-typical career of developing indie films, traveling around the globe to take on various filmmaking roles and a leap into the world of entrepreneurship. Founder and CEO of Serif Creative, a creative agency that works with clients like Genesis Healthcare, Quicken Loans and Abbott, Joseph learned the art of telling stories while growing up in his grandmother’s biker bar, an experience that led him to the realization that community is at the root of storytelling. “Community is one of the world’s most valuable resources…if you don’t have somebody’s attention, you cannot build trust,” said Joseph. Jospeh sits down with cbuzz host Mikaela Hunt to discuss how his creative and entrepreneurial skill sets have joined together on this week’s episode of cbuzz. cbuzz is created in partnership with Capital University and the students of its Audio Engineering Society. Read more about the partnership here.  The post cbuzz: Doug Joseph, Serif Creative: The power of storytelling appeared first on Columbus Chamber of Commerce.
