We recently connected with Kevin Urbina and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Kevin, thanks for joining us today. Earning a full time living from one’s creative career can be incredibly difficult. Have you been able to do so and if so, can you share some of the key parts of your journey and any important advice or lessons that might help creatives who haven’t been able to yet?
Starting a business for your creative work is truly an exciting adventure, but also terrifying. When I started my business, I had little to no professional work to showcase to potential clients. Just a few goofy videos I made with my friends and family. I needed a way to build my credibility as a professional filmmaker.
I started reaching out to local businesses and offering free videos to help build a professional portfolio. Of the dozens of businesses I reached out to, only ONE said yes. That one yes is what helped to kickstart Media Titan.
From there, many other businesses started to see that video and started flooding in. It’s incredible how you can take an opportunity and use it to launch your business.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Kevin Urbina. I am the founder and owner of Media Titan. I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and moved to Georgia when I was 4 years old. I graduated from Georgia State University with a Film & Video degree in 2018.
Making videos has always been a passion of mine. I’ve been making them ever since I was 12 with the help of my friends and family. After over 11 years of making silly YouTube videos, I decided to take my skills and apply them to my business.
I specialize in creating EPIC cinematic videos that help my clients stand out from the rest. Videos are not the only specialty on the menu with Media Titan. Photography, podcast production, and social media marketing are all services that are provided through Media Titan. Media Titan is your one-stop shop for any of your creative content needs.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
Every business is different. There are millions of business owners out there with billions of stories just waiting to be told. I believe that is an important thing to remember when making content for clients.
Part of what has helped my reputation is learning who my clients are as people and creating videos to showcase their business based off of that information.
Tailoring your content to your clients is key. Would you hire a video production company to replicate a video you saw someone else do only to have your video overlooked? People have very short attention spans these days. Skip the same corporate, marketing monologue and give them something to talk about.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding thing is seeing my clients thrive from my work. Nothing beats that feeling when a client comes back and tells you how your video brought so much business to them. It really warms my heart.
At the end of the day, the videos are for them. If our work helps them succeed, we succeed.
