Your success is our companies mission, and we're here to make it happen, one video at a time!
1. Thumbnail & Youtube channel branding creation
Thumbnail creation is a huge part of the success of your videos, if you don't have a good thumbnail, paired with a strong hook/title then your click through rate on your video isn't going to be high and therefore you're going to lose a lot of viewers and potentially a lot of money. Just as much effort needs to go into the thumbnail of your video as it does the concept and the video production - if not your video won't have any chance of going viral! Looking for thumb-nail creators? Lets chat!
2. Sound Operation
Having a decent quality camera is obviously important, but if your viewers can't hear you then it's all completely pointless. You need to think about how you will record the sound and dialog for your videos to ensure you get the highest possible retention rate! Don't overlook this as your engagement will plummet if not!
3. Concept/Idea
If your idea isn't strong, your video won't succeed. It always starts with the idea/storyboard and then you build on top of that. A good Youtube video isn't necessarily good Youtube video, it's a strong idea. How many times have you watched a video of low quality but just because it's a strong idea it will succeed. Make sure you put just as much time into the Youtube idea as you do the video production, cameras and tech.
4. Your Youtube videographer!
This one sounds pretty simple, but if you're looking to grow on Youtube, you need a videographer that specialises in Youtube and knows the algorithm inside & out. For example it would be a harder for you if they didn't know how to create thumbnails, channel branding or interesting hooks! Your watch time is important, but so is your click through rates! Hiring a specialist in the Youtube videography world is key to your success and key for high engagement! Looking for a New York or London based video team? Lets chat!
5.Understand your audience and business goals
Before you hit record, you need to know exactly who you're making content for. Are your videos trying to build brand awareness, increase sales, or drive traffic to a specific product? Your approach to Youtube should align with your broader business goals, so every video has a purpose. This is where the experts step in — a strong video production company will help you craft content that speaks to your audience, not just the algorithm.
6.Pricing transparency and production value
Let’s talk budget. Too many brands either overinvest in the wrong areas or underfund their most important growth channel — Youtube. Your pricing should reflect your priorities, and your video production company should be transparent about how they’ll bring your vision to life. The best creators know how to deliver cinematic storytelling at scale while sticking to a sensible budget. Great content doesn’t have to cost the earth — it just has to be smartly planned.
7.Strategic video SEO = Growth
Even the most amazing video won’t deliver results if no one sees it. YouTube is the second biggest search engine after Google — so treat it that way. By optimising your titles, descriptions, products, and tags, you improve search visibility, build presence, and boost long-term growth. Want to generate more customers? Work with experts who know how to make content discoverable from day one.
8.End to end support from a Youtube specialist
From idea to export, everything needs to be tight — especially if you're serious about Youtube success. A solid video production company won’t just film and edit — they’ll support you with strategy, audience research, sales-driven storytelling, and turning your channel into a conversion machine. This is about more than likes — this is about business growth, meeting your goals, and making Youtube a core pillar of your marketing stack.

4. Marketing, distrubution, Advertising & Social Media
We are a results driven Youtube video production company. What does that mean exactly? It means we care about the numbers and your return on investment.
