How it works

No mystery. This is the sequence.

You should know what happens on day one, day thirty and day ninety before you sign anything. Here it is, in the order it happens.

The first 90 days

Four phases, one system

Each phase has deliverables you can check. If a phase is late, you know, because the plan is shared.

  1. 01Audit and access
  2. 02Strategy and first packaging
  3. 03Test, learn, tighten
  4. 04Scale what works
  1. 01Days 1 – 7

    Audit and access

    We get channel permissions, pull the data from your last 20 videos, interview you about the goal, and set the baseline we will measure against.

    • Baseline report (CTR, AVD, retention, velocity)
    • Goal and audience brief
    • Access and tooling set up
  2. 02Days 8 – 30

    Strategy and first packaging

    Topic research, the 90-day content calendar, and new titles and thumbnails for the next uploads. The first videos under the new system go live.

    • 90-day content plan
    • Packaging system and templates
    • First 2–4 videos published
  3. 03Days 30 – 90

    Test, learn, tighten

    Thumbnail A/B tests, retention reviews on every upload, and weekly adjustments. By day 90 we know what the audience responds to.

    • Weekly updates
    • A/B test log
    • Day-90 performance review
  4. 04Month 4 onwards

    Scale what works

    Double down on the formats that compound: series, short-form funnels, distribution, and for companies, lead capture tied to specific videos.

    • Quarterly strategy session
    • Series and format playbooks
    • Growth and lead dashboard
Who does what

A named team, not a ticket queue.

One strategist never handles more than 6 channels at a time. You know who is on yours.

Strategist

Owns the plan

Research, calendar, packaging direction, the weekly call and the monthly report. Your single point of contact.

Editor

Owns retention

Cuts to the retention graph, builds the hook, keeps the pace. Five working days per long-form edit.

Designer

Owns the click

Two thumbnail concepts per video, A/B tests, series families. 48-hour turnaround.

You

Own the channel

Film (or let us script and produce), approve within 48 hours, show up to the call. That's it.

Cadence

How often we talk, and what you get

  • Weekly
    Update + call (30 min)

    What shipped, what we learned, what's next. Written update even if we skip the call.

  • Every upload
    Packaging and retention note

    Why this title and thumbnail, what we expect, and a retention read 72 hours after publishing.

  • Monthly
    Dashboard + review (45 min)

    CTR, average view duration, retention, views, subscribers, and for companies, leads and pipeline.

  • Day 90
    Performance review

    Everything on one page. We decide together what to keep, change or stop.

What you'll see by day 90

Honest expectations, in writing.

What usually moves

  • Click-through rate on new uploads
  • Average view duration and the shape of the retention curve
  • Views in the first 7 days per video (velocity)
  • A clear picture of which formats your audience wants

What we don't promise

  • A subscriber number by a date
  • A viral video
  • Growth without consistent uploads
  • Results from bought views (we never buy them)
Our commitments

What we commit to, in writing

We don't promise subscriber numbers. Nobody honest can. We promise the things we control, and we put them in the agreement.

  • No bots, no bought views

    Everything is organic. Fake growth is a risk to your channel and we won't take it.

  • 30-day exit after the term

    No lock-in beyond the initial plan. One month's notice and a clean handover.

  • All files are yours

    Scripts, thumbnails, project files, research. Everything we make is handed over.

  • A named lead, max 6 channels

    You know who is working on your channel, and they are not spread thin.

  • You own the channel

    We work through YouTube permissions, never your password. Remove us any time.

  • Day-90 performance review

    We sit down with the numbers and decide together what to change, keep or stop.
