Strategy & Planning
I work backward from the click. On YouTube, packaging isn’t an afterthought. It’s the entire game. If people don’t click, they won’t watch. That’s why every project I produce starts with the title, the thumbnail, and the opening hook before a camera ever turns on. We map out the visual promise first, then build the video to deliver on it. It’s the only reliable way to find success on the platform.
- Concept Design: Nailing down the title and thumbnail hooks during pre-production, not post-production.
- The Retention Bridge: Designing the first 30 seconds of the video to instantly validate the thumbnail so viewers stay locked in.
- Audience Empathy: Studying search trends, viewer psychology, and real-time CTR metrics to understand what makes people stop scrolling.
