for animators, indie creators, worldbuilders and animation studios
ANIMATION FORSOCIAL MEDIA
Grow your animation audience and monetize your passion project
You are an animation artist with an amazing passion project, but you only have 300 views on Instagram and nobody knows you exist?
That was me three years ago.
Since then I built a content system specifically for the animation industry that allowed me to grow and monetize my 80k follower audience, all while promoting my original animated IP.
Today I help animators create a side income and fund their passion projects by teaching them the skill of content creation.

THE ROADMAP
What happens when you enroll?
first step
As soon as the payment is processed you immediately get access to the lessons, as well as the Zoom link for all the 12 calls.
You'll receive an onboarding form so I can understand your goals and current content challenges. This ensures the live calls have the best possible value for you.
Defining your audience
Here we define what should you be creating, for whom and how - depending if you want to grow an audience for your passion project, attract animation work or a mix of both.
We go over packaging - the exact content formats that work specifically for the art and animation industry, and consistently perform online.
Storytelling and content workflows
In the second month you'll learn the short-form scripting and storytelling frameworks needed to raise visibility and grow an audience.
You'll also learn the workflows for batch creating, instead of spending 5 hours on a video.
This skill is key for consistency - so your audience gets used to a certain cadence and develops trust over time.
Monetization and visual branding
In the third month you'll learn the monetization strategies and a Kickstarter campaign plan, should you choose to crowdfund yourself or monetize in a different way.
You'll also learn the basics of visual branding.
We'll define your primary and secondary colors, choose your brand fonts, and establish the core artist brand values that will be consistently seen through your animation IP content, so your audience and potential investors immediately recognize you when they see you.
feedback
During the three months of this mentorship you'll be continually creating content and getting my indepth feedback on everything you post.
Reviews happen live during our Zoom calls, but you can also request an offline review during the week or ask any questions on our Discord channel.
ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I'm Dragana Stamenkovic and I was an animator for 10 years in the VFX industry, working on Disney and Netflix projects. My last role was as a Lead Animator at Steamroller Animation.
I produced, funded and marketed my original animated short film “Leap of Faith”.
In the past three years of promoting my animated IP, I grew an audience of 80k followers and gained thousands of views on my videos.
Since then, I left the animation industry to start my own business.
Today I teach animators and studios how they can grow an audience for their IPs, fund and monetize their passion projects and create more independent career paths.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
No. The goal of the program is to teach you how to promote your project even if it's still in development.
This is completely up to you.
Everyone is at a different stage, and everyone grows at their own pace.
There's no pressure to keep up with anyone else. Just focus on showing up consistently and doing what feels manageable for you.
The more content you create and bring to our Zoom calls each week, the better results you'll see.
No, it's also for worldbuilders (concept artists, storyboard artists, 3D artists), IP creators, and animators (3D, 2D, AI, stop motion..)

Depends on your starting point, determination and skill level but on average my clients 3–5x their views after working with me.
No.
The group program can be purchased throughout the year, so you get access to the lessons and previous recordings immediately, but the live calls are held when the program is launched (3–4 times a year).
If you don't want to wait for the next launch, the best option is to apply for 1:1 mentorship.
Yes!
This program is built specifically for the animation and digital art industry, with content strategies for introverted artists and animators, not influencers or full-time content creators.
