About The Video Dept.

The Video Dept. also runs a paid program, The Video Dept. Inner Circle, which the brand frames as transforming a business with the right videos in one year.[2] The program names three objectives, among them authority, meaning becoming the go-to person in an industry, and freedom, meaning videos that keep working without the owner.[2] It is built from three parts: workshop-style curriculum training, face-to-face virtual coaching with study hours, and a community of peer masterminding with public one-to-one support.[2] The program is aimed in part at people who have not yet started creating content but want to begin.[2]

A YouTube channel run by Omar El-Takrori, a content creator and entrepreneur, carries information and conversations about making a bigger impact with a business or brand through video.[3]

Payment for the online coaching program is non-refundable, and the brand's tickets to in-person events are final sales.[4] The brand's terms of service were last updated on 31 January 2024.[4]
