I write scripts and content strategy for clients who need more than good copy; they need ideas that actually hold attention. For the past year I've been writing documentary-style YouTube scripts on contract for a US-based channel covering global economics, history, and geopolitics. The format is research-heavy, retention-focused, and built around one rule: every section earns the next one or it gets cut. Before that, ten years across newsrooms, political campaigns, and strategic communications, including campaign narrative and media strategy for state-level elections in India. What I work on: 1) Long-form YouTube scripts built for retention (documentary, explainer, brand) 2) Research-driven narratives that make complex topics compelling 3) Political and campaign communications 4) Content strategy and editorial direction for brands and creators The 5-star review on this profile is from a documentary channel. That's the work I'm built for, not one-off content drops, but scripts that give an audience a reason to stay. If your content needs substance behind the style, let's talk.
