Client Accelerator

Build a direct-to-client route, so referrals become a bonus

Build it with Stella and Victoria, in a small live cohort.

You’ve built the career and the reputation. Now build a dependable way to win profitable projects, without starting the search from scratch every time.

Client Accelerator is for experienced photographers, digital artists, designers and small creative studios who want more control over what comes next.

Over 12 weeks, we help you choose your strongest opportunities, make your value clear and build your outreach, follow-up and sales process.

You work on your own business, with our feedback and dedicated build sessions to get things done.

Next live start: Monday 11 January 2027.

Join now and book your private Kickstart Set-up call right away and get access the Friday Q&As and Client Accelerator Classroom, workshops and tools.

Good at the work. Still unsure where the next project is coming from?

Perhaps most opportunities come through referrals, agencies or a few regular clients.

When you’re busy, business development slips. When work slows down, you pick it up again, wondering who to approach and what to say.

Your portfolio shows what you can create. But the next buyer also needs to understand what you could help them achieve.

We help you connect your experience to what clients need, give them a reason to talk and keep those conversations moving towards paid work.

What you build with us

A clear client focus

Choose the buyers with the strongest need for your experience, the budget to invest and the potential for profitable projects and repeat work.

Proof that helps clients choose you

Show what the client needed, what you contributed and what the work made possible. Use that evidence across your LinkedIn, website and conversations.

A clear offer

Make it easy to understand who you help, what you help them achieve and how to start working with you. Shape the pricing and scope so the work is worthwhile for your business.

An outreach and sales process

Know who to approach, what to say, how to follow up and how to move interest towards a decision.

A working pipeline

Track contacts, conversations and next actions in one place, so opportunities keep moving alongside paid projects.

12 weeks. Built around your business.

Nine live core working sessions. Three implementation build sessions. Weekly Friday Q&As.

The core sessions take you through building your direct-to-client route.

The implementation sessions give you dedicated time with us to apply the work, get feedback and resolve what’s holding you up.

Between sessions, bring your drafts, questions and live opportunities to the Friday Q&As.

Stella and Victoria work directly with you throughout. We review your work, help you make decisions and work through the responses you get from potential clients.

You’ll need to set aside time each week. We help you prioritise actions you can manage alongside client commitments.

What’s included

Nine live core working sessions with Stella and Victoria.
Three implementation build sessions to apply the work and get things done.
Weekly Friday Q&As for feedback, questions and live opportunities.
A private Kickstart call with both of us to agree your priorities and get set up.
An end-of-programme review to assess progress and plan your next steps.
Session recordings, worksheets and resources to use as you build.
Your Notion workspace for target clients, content, conversations and follow-ups in one place.
The private Skool community for support and accountability.

About Stella and Victoria

We started as brand designers at leading London agencies, working on projects for global brands.

When we went independent, strong work and a good portfolio weren’t enough. We became too dependent on one client and too busy delivering to build our own pipeline.

We had to learn how to choose stronger opportunities, explain our value and create relationships that led to work.

We created Client Accelerator to help experienced creatives build those commercial processes into their own businesses, with us alongside them.

Here’s what creatives like you have achieved:

Vahakn increased turnover by 75% in a year by tripling his regular client base and presenting himself more clearly as a studio.

Kyla established herself in a new market, brought repeat clients back and secured an agent by using stronger proof and talking about her work in a way clients connected with.

Lucy is doing fewer, more profitable projects, with most of her work now coming directly through relationships she’s built on LinkedIn.

Ruth increased her project rate by 77% in 6 months by tightening her positioning and becoming more visible to the clients who value her most.

Nic increased revenue by 50% in under a year by getting clear on who he wanted to work with and following the weekly system consistently.

Kyle increased revenue by 20% in a year by moving closer to direct relationships with global brands and being seen as a studio rather than a freelancer.
