After 20 years as an English professor, I left the classroom and built AT Creative Studio, LLC — a video production company specializing in UGC content designed to reach women over 50: an affluent, discerning demographic that most brands struggle to reach effectively.

I create videos that feel real because they are. A lot of UGC looks flashy and polished — but what actually converts is trust. The kind built between a speaker and an audience who feels genuinely seen. That's what makes people take action, and that's what I bring to every project. My videos feel like a recommendation from a trusted friend, not a pitch from a marketing department.

Whether it's a product demo, a testimonial, a problem/solution narrative, or a spokesperson piece, I handle the full production: concept, script, performance, and editing. You get a finished video ready to run.

New products need content.

But between an idea and a finished photoshoot, there are often weeks of preparation and significant budgets.

That's why I'm putting together a package that includes:

— 10 product photos

— 2 short videos

— 1 commercial-style video

So brands can get ready-to-use content for a product launch.

I'd love to hear your thoughts:🤩

How do you think a package like this could benefit a brand? What challenges or goals could it help solve?

I can see this being especially valuable for startups and early-stage products.

One of the biggest launch challenges is having enough quality content for different channels from day one. A package like this could help brands move faster and test messaging, creatives, and...

I started a newsletter. Not to build an audience. Not to sell anything. Just to have a place where I could think without packaging it.

It's called the Trevere Taylor Newsletter, and it's where I write about the stuff that actually keeps me up at night. History, psychology, love, life, art, geopolitics. Pop Culture. Star wars lol. The hardest lessons nursing ever taught me.

My content strategy work is where I build systems that move people. This is where I figure out why they move.

Not everything needs a funnel. Some things just need a window and nowhere to be.
