YouTube Channel Strategist & Creative Producer

YouTube Channel Strategist & Creative Director (Long-Term Partnership) I’m looking for an experienced YouTube strategist to help build a long-term growth strategy for an established podcast and educational brand. This is not a video editing position. I’m looking for someone who can look at the entire picture and answer questions like: * How should the show be filmed? * What camera angles and shots create the most engaging viewing experience? * What editing style fits this audience? * How should music be incorporated? * What visual elements should become part of the brand? * How should full-length episodes differ from Shorts? * What should our thumbnail strategy be? * What makes someone click? * What makes someone stay? * What makes someone subscribe? * How do we build a recognizable YouTube brand instead of simply uploading videos? About the Project I host an established legal podcast featuring attorneys, judges, court reporters, entrepreneurs, and other professionals. We already produce long-form episodes and have an audio editing workflow in place. I’m looking for someone who can help transform the YouTube channel into a destination that consistently attracts new viewers and grows an engaged audience.
