Award-winning documentary interviewer

Your customers have answers. I help you hear them.

You know you should talk to customers more. But you're busy running the business. I handle the interviews and turn them into insights, stories, and videos you can actually use.

“We gave Hollie a list of clients. A few weeks later she came back with reports, insights, video case studies, social media clips... all so valuable yet we never would have done it ourselves.”

Hollie Harrington - Customer Interview Expert

I'm Hollie — I've spent years as a documentary filmmaker learning how to draw out real stories from real people. Now I bring that skill to customer research.

The people paying you have all the answers.

Your customers know why they chose you, what nearly stopped them, and how you compare to alternatives. That's invaluable insight — if you have time to ask.

The Reality

You're busy. Customer calls keep slipping down the list. When you do talk to them, it's about support issues or renewals — not the deeper questions that shape your product and positioning.

Let Me Handle It

I run the interviews so you don't have to. You get deep, honest conversations with customers — without taking time away from running your business.

Already running surveys?

Surveys tell you what. Interviews tell you why.

Surveys are great for breadth — quick data from lots of people. But they're shallow. Interviews go deeper, uncovering the stories and motivations behind the numbers.

Surveys

  • Breadth — reach many customers quickly
  • Structured questions, limited answers
  • Shows patterns and trends
  • Hard to understand the 'why'
  • Shallow — surface-level feedback

Interviews

  • Depth — truly understand each customer
  • Open conversation, follow-up questions
  • Reveals the stories behind decisions
  • Uncovers motivations and emotions
  • Rich — publishable quotes and insights

You don't have to choose. Use surveys for the numbers, interviews for the narrative. Together, they give you the full picture.

How it works

Four simple steps to customer clarity

01

Discovery Call

A short call to understand your business and what you want to learn.

02

Planning

Together we identify which customers to speak with and what questions matter.

03

Interviews

I interview each customer one-on-one. 30-45 minutes, recorded.

04

Insights

Clear summary, direct quotes, and written customer stories ready to use.

What you'll get

Deep customer conversations reveal things surveys and NPS scores never will.

Why They Chose You

The real reasons customers picked you over alternatives — in their own words. Perfect for positioning and messaging.

Competitor Insights

See your market through your customers' eyes. Learn who else they considered and what made the difference.

Honest Feedback

Customers open up to an external interviewer. You get the truth — the hesitations, the frustrations, the wins.

Your Time Back

I handle scheduling, interviews, and follow-ups. You get the insights without the calendar chaos.

We handed Hollie a list of customers. Weeks later, she came back with insights, video case studies, and social content we simply never would've created on our own.

This is for busy founders who...

Know they should talk to customers more — but can't find the time

Want deep insights, not just NPS scores and survey data

Need compelling customer stories for their website and sales decks

Are curious how customers really see them vs competitors

Are preparing for a rebrand, launch, or funding round

Want video testimonials without the awkward DIY approach
