7 Video Ad Creation Business Success Stories [2023]
Here are some real life success stories of starting a video ad creation business:
1. Silksocial ($360K/year)
Louise B. Maciulevicius (from Dublin, Ireland) started Silksocial over 3 years ago.
Hello, world! My name is Louise B.Maciulevicius, my husband Edvinas Maciulevicius and I are the founders of Silksocial. Our business does one thing and one thing and one thing only - produce rockstar video ads for eCommerce brands.
Today we’re doing a turnover of around $30K/Month working with eCommerce businesses from every corner of the world. The knowledge of what type of ads work best on social media is our company's biggest asset. True story, we started the business out of desperation when we were broke and thousands of miles away from home in Merida, Mexico. More importantly, our first client came from right here - on Starter Story!
2. Vivid Candi, Inc. ($840K/year)
Chris Wizner (from Malibu, CA, USA) started Vivid Candi, Inc. about 24 years ago.
Everyday I pinch myself and still can't believe this is my life. It wasn’t always this way. I grew up with a single waitress mom living very poor. I worked incredibly hard since age 16 using my first Taco Bell paycheck from my first job as capital to build upon. Somehow with lots of hard work and a pinch of luck, I began living my dream and building my vision.
I usually start the day at my home office in Malibu with a solid dose of espresso and then halfway through the day I walk a mile to our corporate offices. I walk into my office and have the best view of the Malibu Pier anyone could ever ask for. I can see the surf, see lots of people, and dream big here. It’s real and I worked my a$$ off for it and will never stop. I've been thrilled living my wildest dreams every day of my life since age 16 and that is the ultimate measure of success for me.
