A founder-led video team that grew to 130 clients in 11 countries. We make organic video that builds your brand and moves your business.

Our story

It Started with One Creator and a Deadline

Semion and Elena founded Create & Elate to do one thing well: turn what experts know into video people actually watch. No sales team, no ad spend, no funnel tricks. We did good work, clients told other clients, and the business grew from there.

Seven years later that hasn't changed. We're still founder-led. We still answer to the work, not a pitch deck. The team has grown across time zones, but the standard is the same one we started with: every cut should earn the next view, and every video should do a job for the business behind it.

The founders

Semion & Elena

Two people who care more about whether a video lands than whether it looks busy. Hands-on from the first call.

Semion

Leads strategy and standards. He's the reason the editing is sharp and the feedback is direct. If a plan won't move your business, he'll say so before you spend on it. He'd rather scope you into the right service than the biggest one.

Elena

Leads the team and the craft of the work. She built the production system that keeps quality steady as volume scales, so your tenth video is as good as your first, no matter which editor touches it.

How We Work

Built for the Long Game

A Bar That Holds

We grew into a healthy recurring business by keeping the quality bar high and the process calm. It is the kind of work clients stay with as they scale.

Subscription, Not One-off

Most clients stay on a retainer because organic video compounds. We're set up for the long game through the Content Engine, not the quick hit.

Strategy in the Room

We're a video team that thinks like marketers. Every brief starts with the goal, authority, leads or sales, then works back to the edit. See it on the work.

What we believe

The Standards Behind Every Cut

Earn the View

Attention is the only currency online. We edit for retention first, the hook, the pacing, the reason to stay, not for what looks impressive in isolation.

Serve the Business

A video that gets views but moves nothing is a vanity project. We start with what the business needs and make the content do that job.

Say It Straight

If a service isn't the right fit, we'll tell you. Honest scoping early saves you money later, and it's why clients keep referring us.

Not sure where you fit? Send us your recent videos and we'll record a free teardown: what's working, what's holding views back, and the smartest next move. No contract, the notes are yours.

FAQ

About the Team

Who are Semion and Elena?

The founders of Create & Elate. Semion leads strategy and editing standards; Elena leads the team and the production system. Both are hands-on, so you'll talk to a founder on your first call, not a salesperson.

Where is Create & Elate based?

We're a Bulgarian company (EOOD) based in Sofia, with a remote team serving clients across 11 countries. Production runs remotely, and we can arrange on-site shoots through Filming & Videography when a project calls for it.

How did you grow to 130 clients?

Clients refer other clients because the work performs and the process is calm and reliable. That's how we grew to a healthy recurring business and 13,000 videos.

What kind of clients do you work with?

Knowledge-based creators, online businesses, and premium B2B verticals, from solo experts to funded companies. We are also the trusted partner for a marketing team without in-house video expertise. If video is part of how you grow, we can usually help. The solutions hub shows the industries and audiences we serve.

Do I have to commit to a long contract?

No. You can start with a free teardown or a one-off project. Most clients move to a monthly retainer because organic video compounds over time, but that's a choice you make after you see the work, not a requirement to begin.

What's the best way to start working with you?

Send your recent videos for a Free Video Audit, or book a call. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit and which service actually moves your goal.
