Why Cachalot?

Most video teams haven’t built an audience. Most consultants haven’t delivered content at scale. We’ve done both.

Cachalot is led by Phil Gow—creator of First Phil Whisky (58k+ on YouTube, 10M+ views) and a senior editor with 15+ years inside top-tier agencies and campaigns.

We’ve built brands from scratch. We’ve worked with teams spending millions. And we know how to turn expertise into content that connects.

  • We focus on professionals—not influencers

  • You choose: strategy + execution, or just the content you need

  • You get systems that save time—not just pretty edits

  • No bloated teams. No jargon. Just high-quality content that works
