Pixel Samy Studio vs Ohh My Brand: Two Halves of a Personal Brand

Ohh My Brand publish a full personal branding menu, from a $900 complete journey to $1,900 a month for PR. We publish $2,000 a month for 200 short-form and 30 long-form videos. Most founders eventually need both halves.

Ohh My Brand are one of the very few personal branding agencies that publish an actual price list, and since most of this industry hides behind a discovery call, that is worth saying first.

On their site, read on 24 September 2026, the menu includes a complete personal branding journey at $900 as a one-time fee, a personal branding strategy at $1,500, brand presence at $1,700, a website at $3,000, a LinkedIn profile audit at $500, SEO at $1,300 a month, social media at $1,000 a month, PR at $1,900 a month and a book at $49. They publish no contracts, and they publish a UK registered address in Ilford rather than operating anonymously.

What that money buys is narrative and distribution in text, which is positioning, messaging, LinkedIn, ghostwriting, press placement and search. It is the strategic layer of a personal brand.

We sell the other half, which is the camera half. $2,000 a month for up to 200 short-form videos and 30 long-form videos with thumbnails included, produced by close to 50 editors in-house in Dubai, so this is less a competition than a division of labour, and I will explain where the line sits.

The two halves of a personal brand

A personal brand has a narrative half and a distribution half, and almost every founder I speak to has bought one of them and wondered why it did not work.

The narrative half is what you stand for, who you are talking to, what you say that nobody else in your category will say, and how that shows up in writing, press and search. That is what Ohh My Brand sell, and it is genuinely upstream of everything else.

The distribution half is how often you appear, in what formats, on which platforms, with what consistency. That is what we sell. Two hundred short pieces and thirty long ones in a month is a distribution answer, not a strategy answer.

And the reason both matter is simple. A sharp position that nobody encounters achieves nothing, and enormous visibility with a fuzzy position produces the founder everyone has seen but nobody can describe. The catch here is that the two halves fail in different ways, so it is worth being honest about which one you are actually short of before spending anything.

Which half of a personal brand is missingThe narrative half is missing: You cannot describe your position in one sentence; Your content sounds like everyone else in the category; Nobody quotes you or asks you to speak; Posting more just produces more forgettable posts; Strategy, PR and messaging fix this. The distribution half is missing: You know exactly what you stand for; The few things you post land well; Recordings pile up unedited on a drive; You appear once a fortnight and vanish; Production capacity at volume fixes this.Which half of a personal brand is missingThe narrative half is missingYou cannot describe your position inone sentenceYour content sounds like everyone elsein the categoryNobody quotes you or asks you to speakPosting more just produces moreforgettable postsStrategy, PR and messaging fix thisThe distribution half is missingYou know exactly what you stand forThe few things you post land wellRecordings pile up unedited on a driveYou appear once a fortnight and vanishProduction capacity at volume fixesthis
Spending on the wrong half is the most common way founders waste a personal branding budget. Be honest about which column is yours.

Why publishing prices matters here

Personal branding is an industry where prices are hidden more than almost anywhere else, so an agency putting a full menu on the page is doing something useful.

Theirs runs from $900 for a complete journey through $1,500 for strategy and $1,700 for brand presence, up to monthly retainers of $1,300 for SEO, $1,000 for social and $1,900 for PR, with no contracts stated.

We publish $2,000 a month with what it covers, for the same reason. A founder comparing five suppliers should not have to sit through five discovery calls to learn whether any of them are in their bracket.

There is also a discipline that comes with publishing a number, which is that you cannot quietly charge two clients different amounts for the same work, and you have to be able to explain what the number covers. I would treat a published price as a mild positive signal on any agency you are assessing, theirs included, and its absence as a reason to ask harder questions early.

Where video actually sits in personal branding

Most personal branding services are text first, which made sense when LinkedIn was the whole game, but the thing that has changed over the last few years is that founders are now largely discovered on video.

That means a personal brand strategy which produces a positioning document, a bio, a content pillar list and a posting schedule is doing maybe half the job, because none of those things are the artefact people actually encounter. The artefact is a sixty second clip of you saying something specific, or a twenty minute conversation that somebody watched to the end.

Which is why the sequence I recommend is narrative first, then production, and then relentless repetition. Work out the position, then build a machine that expresses it constantly.

Our part of that is deliberately narrow. We do not write your positioning and we do not pitch journalists. We take recordings and turn them into more finished, findable pieces than you thought a month could hold, and the reason I trust our judgment on which moments matter is that we run seven channels of our own past a hundred thousand subscribers and have paid for those lessons ourselves.

What two thousand a month buys on each side

Let me lay the numbers next to each other, because they happen to be in the same bracket, which is unusual and makes this concrete.

On their side, roughly two thousand a month buys a PR retainer at $1,900, which is ongoing pitching and placement work aimed at getting you into publications, or an SEO retainer at $1,300 plus a social retainer at $1,000 for search and text content.

On our side, $2,000 buys up to 200 short-form videos and 30 long-form videos with thumbnails, produced by our in-house team.

Those buy completely different outcomes. PR buys third party credibility, the kind you cannot manufacture yourself, and it works slowly and unpredictably. Video volume buys familiarity, which is the feeling that someone has seen you around, and it works gradually and fairly predictably as long as you keep going.

If I had to pick one to start with and the positioning was already clear, I would pick the one that compounds on assets you own, which is video. But I am obviously not neutral, and a founder whose whole category runs on press credibility might reasonably choose the other way.

How the two work together in practice

The arrangement I see working is simple and it does not require either supplier to pretend they do everything.

A strategy partner sets the position and the messaging, ideally as a one-off project rather than a permanent retainer, because positioning does not change every month.

Then a production studio turns that position into content at volume, week after week, and feeds the clips back into whatever text and press work is running.

The podcast is usually the hinge, since one recording produces the long-form video, the clips, the quotes for LinkedIn, the material a ghostwriter can work from and the talking points a PR team can pitch. That is the cheapest content structure I know of, and it is why so much of what we do starts with podcast editing.

So if you are choosing between two suppliers, the better question is usually not which one, but which one first, and the answer is almost always the one that answers what you stand for.

Which one should you actually pick

The useful version of this page, because a comparison where the other studio never wins is a comparison nobody believes.

Go with Ohh My Brand when

Go with Ohh My Brand when the problem is that you do not yet know what you stand for, because no amount of video fixes an unclear position and I would rather you spent the first two thousand on figuring that out than on us filming the confusion at volume.

They are also the right call when what you need is press, search visibility or a LinkedIn presence in writing, since PR at a monthly retainer and SEO are entirely separate disciplines from video production, and a studio that claimed to do all of it well would be lying to you.

Go with us when

Come to us once the positioning exists and the bottleneck is that nobody sees you often enough, because at that point the answer is not more strategy documents, it is appearing on four platforms every day with something worth watching.

That is a production problem, and our $2,000 covers a ceiling of up to 200 short-form and 30 long-form pieces a month, which is the volume a real personal brand runs on, as laid out on our short-form video editing page.

Questions people ask before they switch

How much does Ohh My Brand cost?
Their site publishes a menu including $900 for a complete personal branding journey, $1,500 for strategy, $1,700 for brand presence, $3,000 for a website, and monthly retainers of $1,300 for SEO, $1,000 for social media and $1,900 for PR. They also state no contracts.
Do they produce video?
Video production is not on their published service menu. Their work is positioning, messaging, LinkedIn, ghostwriting, PR and search, which is the narrative half rather than the camera half.
Do you do personal branding strategy?
Not as a separate product. We have strong opinions about what makes founder content work, formed from running seven of our own channels, but we do not sell positioning documents or PR. We produce the video.
Which should I buy first?
Whichever half you are short of. If you cannot say your position in one sentence, buy strategy first. If you know exactly what you stand for and recordings are piling up unused, buy production first.
Where are they based?
They publish a UK registered address in Ilford. Our editors are in-house in Dubai, close to 50 of them, which is worth knowing given how much of this industry subcontracts anonymously.

If you already know what you stand for and the problem is that nobody sees it often enough, that is the exact gap we fill, and if you do not know yet, go and fix that first. So yeah. That's my way of saying it.
