WHAT IS TEG?

Tap Edit Go (TEG) empowers individuals and businesses to create professional videos using just their smartphones. Founded by Wes Alan, TEG believes anyone can harness video power without a big budget. We’ve travelled across Australia, teaching thousands to tap into their creative potential. Our hands-on training simplifies the video-making process, equipping you to produce engaging content and tell your story through your smartphone.

WHERE IT STARTED

Wes Alan, the founder of Tap Edit Go, began his journey in the world of film with his own production company. As demand for social media video content grew, many clients expressed interest but were unable to afford the high costs of professional videography. Recognising this challenge, Wes started training these clients to create their own videos, allowing them to stay within budget while still achieving their goals. The success of this training inspired Wes to expand his production company, creating a dedicated arm focused on empowering individuals and businesses to master smartphone videography. This initiative not only met a critical market need but also birthed Tap Edit Go, a platform dedicated to making video creation accessible to all.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

At Tap Edit Go, our vision is to inspire and empower people to create their own videos with ease. We strive to provide the simplest and most effective plans for video creation, ensuring that anyone can enhance their content without it becoming overwhelming. Constantly updating our resources, we explore new ways to support businesses and individuals on their video journey. Our goal is to make video creation accessible, enabling users to focus on their core work while leveraging video to boost sales and expand their reach. By simplifying the process, we empower our community to achieve their goals through impactful visual storytelling.
