Personal brand video
Make your online presence match the caliber of your work.
You have the experience, ideas, and results. We create the films, interviews, and photography that help people see it.
Three founding-client sessions available.
For coaches, consultants, speakers, authors, and expert-led founders across D.C., Northern Virginia, and Maryland.
You’re an accomplished professional. Your online presence should reflect it.
Video makes you real and relatable. But do you know where to start?
Meet your videographer
Meet the filmmaker who will bring your expertise to life.
I’m Brendan McDonough, a Washington, D.C.–area videographer and the owner of 23rdstreetmedia.
I have produced video for the Embassy of Sweden, news organizations, technology and artificial-intelligence companies, wellness professionals and influencers, and elected officials — including members of Congress.
I specialize in professional interviews, multicamera conversations, and documentary-style storytelling. I personally guide each client from the initial conversation and interview preparation through filming and the final edit.
You do not need to write a script, perform for the camera, or understand video production. We’ll develop the questions and talking points together so you can concentrate on explaining what you know and how you help people.
I film with Sony Cinema Line cameras, professional lighting, and broadcast-quality audio equipment so your video looks and sounds as credible as the expertise behind it.
Your expertise is the subject. My job is to make it visible.
- Embassy, news and government experience
- Sony Cinema Line production
- Professional lighting and audio

Film Your Interview
I’ll bring professional cameras, lighting, and audio equipment to your approved office, home, studio, or another private filming location.
Review Your Interview
You’ll receive a private, timecoded review version of the interview. I’ll identify several strong moments, and you can tell me which sections you would most like developed.
Receive Your Finished Videos
I’ll transform two selected moments into professionally edited 15–60 second videos for your website, LinkedIn, Instagram, or YouTube.
Decide What Comes Next
If the first project is successful, we can discuss additional content, including a complete brand film, client testimonials, a podcast, conference coverage, an online course, or ongoing social-media videos.

Founding-client price
Available to my first three personal-brand clients as I launch this specialized service.
We’ll record an interview designed to introduce you, your work, and the value you provide. You leave with polished content for your website, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
What you receive
- Personalized feedback on how video could strengthen your website and social-media presence
- A professionally planned and filmed video session
- Two professionally edited 15–60 second videos, delivered in either vertical or landscape format
- The option to select your preferred excerpts or have me identify the strongest moments
If the session produces additional strong material, I may include additional content when the footage and scope allow.
If you discover additional moments you want to use, you can purchase more short clips or a longer video after the shoot. Start small and expand only if you see content worth using.
Video consultation questionnaire
Your work has substance. Give it the presence it deserves.
Help me understand your business, audience, and goals so I can recommend the strongest direction for your video session. Your answers do not need to be lengthy or polished — brief, conversational responses are completely fine.
