Jackson Kingsley – Founder of Video Business Mastery & Cinematica Media
Jackson Kingsley is an award-winning filmmaker, entrepreneur, and educator who helps video professionals turn their creative skills into thriving, strategic businesses. As the founder of Video Business Mastery (VBM) and Cinematica Media, he’s recognised as one of the leading voices in the global video industry – known for his sharp strategic insight, relatable delivery, and no-fluff approach to building a profitable creative business.

After more than a decade behind the camera, filming for global brands like National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Garmin, and Sony, Jackson reached a breaking point familiar to many filmmakers: creative success without consistent income. The realisation that skill alone wasn’t enough led him to master positioning, marketing psychology, and value-based sales – transforming his production company into a strategy-driven agency that generates predictable deal flow and long-term client partnerships.

That transformation inspired the creation of Video Business Mastery – a coaching platform now trusted by thousands of video professionals worldwide. Jackson and his team teach creatives how to reposition themselves as Video Strategists, build systems that attract premium clients, and escape the feast-or-famine cycle for good. His clients span over 30 countries and have landed contracts with major brands, grown to six- and seven-figure revenues, and gained the confidence to charge what their expertise is truly worth.

In 2025 Jackson launched Agency From Zero – a public experiment to prove his system works in any niche, even without case studies or warm leads. Starting from scratch, he built a brand-new agency and generated $97,000 in new video contracts within 11 weeks using a simple two-phase client acquisition system. The project captured wide attention online and reaffirmed his belief that modern success in the video industry isn’t about who has the best camera – it’s about who has the best strategy.

At the heart of Jackson’s teaching is: stop selling videos, start selling outcomes. He defines Video Strategy as the art of aligning creative storytelling with business results – helping clients achieve measurable growth through video, not just produce beautiful visuals. His frameworks blend psychology, marketing, and creative direction to show filmmakers how to design offers that solve high-value problems, communicate their worth clearly, and close premium deals with confidence.

Jackson’s work continues to inspire a new generation of filmmakers to think bigger, work smarter, and treat creativity as a business superpower. At The Photography & Video Show 2026, Jackson will share the exact strategies he used to build multiple six-figure video businesses – and how any serious video professional can use Video Strategy to attract better clients, charge higher fees, and build predictable success doing what they love.
