Most brand channels aren't short of content.
They're short of clicks

THE BIT NOBODY
HAS CRACKED

Getting views with a famous guest is easy. Getting someone to click on a conversation with a person they've never heard of is the hard part, and it's the bit we care about.

 

No celebrity, no clickbait, just a title and a thumbnail that make the right people stop scrolling.


We'll be honest, nobody has this completely nailed, us included. But we're working on it every week, on real channels, and that's what you're buying into.

HOW IT WORKS

Every channel we work on starts with the same three questions. They're the ones behind our podcasts made for YouTube too.

BEFORE & AFTER

BEFORE

Our process starts with research, not guesswork. We look for outliers, which are videos that have done far better than the channel they're on. If a channel with 2,000 subscribers gets 50,000 views on one video, something in that video is pulling people in.

​

We work out what that is, whether it's the title, the thumbnail or the topic, and use it to shape yours. It's market research for every episode, so it has the best possible chance before it goes live.

​

The work doesn't stop at upload. YouTube shows more people a video that gets clicked and keeps them watching, so we watch how each episode does in its first few days. Then we test different titles and thumbnails against each other and keep the one that performs. Each episode tells us something about your audience, and the next one gets better for it.
