You don’t need more uploads. You need a YouTube system that earns the click, holds attention, and turns your channel into a business. Hi, I’m Murigi Philip—your YouTube Strategist and channel optimization partner. You want clarity, not noise. Consistent growth, not guesses. A brand that looks premium and feels effortless. I build that for you—whether you’re a brand, a new creator, an established channel, a dormant or stalled channel, or you simply want consultation-only guidance. What you’ll get: ✅ Positioning that clicks We define who you’re for, why you’re different, and what you publish—so every video has a job and every upload moves you forward. ✅ Content calendar clarity You get a rolling 90-day programming calendar with weekly slots and series arcs. You’ll always know what to make next—no second-guessing. ✅ SEO that ranks I map topics to real search intent, then craft titles, descriptions, chapters, and playlists engineered to win Search and Suggested—so the right viewers find you again and again. ✅ Packaging that performs Title–thumbnail pairs designed to earn the click. 5-second hook frameworks that hold attention. Continuous testing to lift CTR and retention. ✅ Publishing that compounds A release rhythm your audience can trust. End screens, cards, and community posts that route viewers to the next watch—stacking session time and subscribers. ✅ Analytics you can act on One clean page. Three priorities. Exact next steps.

Together we architect multiple revenue streams inside your content and CTAs—sponsorships, affiliates, digital products, memberships, courses, and lead-gen to services—so your channel becomes a real, full-time business. Who I work with: 👉Brands building authority, leads, and sales 👉New creators launching with clarity from day one 👉 Existing channels ready to refine and scale 👉 Dormant or stalled channels relaunching with focus 👉 Zero-to-one ideation (name, concept, audience promise, programming grid) 👉 Consultations for teams who prefer to execute in-house How we’ll work ✅ Audit — I find leverage in your audience, competitors, and opportunities. ✅ Build — We align on goals, formats, and a repeatable growth + monetization system (plus your 90-day calendar). ✅ Optimize — We improve metadata, packaging, cadence—and iterate weekly.

Are you up at midnight wondering if that handoff happened before your team member went off-grid, or if tomorrow's meeting was rescheduled before your dentist appointment? That is exactly the problem I solve. I am an Executive Assistant and Project Manager with over 10 years of experience supporting CEOs, founders, and cross-continental teams. I do not wait to be told what needs doing. I read between the lines, connect the dots, and stay three steps ahead so you never have to chase me down for an update. One client was traveling in a campervan with a spotty satellite connection. They sent me photos of sticky notes, nothing more. I pulled from our previous conversations, filled in the gaps, and delivered a structured, investor-ready workflow covering everything from ideation to market-ready stages. By the time they had the signal again, the work was done. That is how I operate. A few high-level conversations and I can hold your vision, write in your voice, manage your inbox, and protect your calendar without constant check-ins. Here is what I take off your plate: Calendar and inbox management, so meetings are confirmed, conflicts caught, and your day runs without surprises. Project coordination across Asana, ClickUp, Notion, and Monday, including onboarding new team members, building SOPs, and ensuring no task becomes a blocker. CRM management and client follow-up using HubSpot, GoHighLevel, and Monday, keeping your pipeline clean and your relationships warm. Cross-timezone team management, where I have owned full Asana environments for organizations with teams across multiple continents, keeping accountability high without anyone feeling micromanaged. Administrative and operations support, from scheduling and travel coordination to vendor communication and internal reporting. I also use AI tools, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, to work faster and smarter, whether that means drafting communications in your tone, building automated workflows, or turning scattered notes into structured documents. Tools I work with: Communication: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom Calendar: Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar File and document management: Google Drive, Microsoft SharePoint, Dropbox Productivity and office: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 Project management: Asana, ClickUp, Notion, Monday CRM and automation: HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Monday, Zapier Lead generation: LinkedIn Sales Navigator AI-assisted workflows: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini I am available, responsive, and I bring genuine care to every role. You will not need to wonder if something got done. You will just know it did. If you are done doing everything yourself and ready to work with someone who takes real ownership, let us talk. Send me a message or invite me to your job, and we can set up a time to connect.

That range is what makes me different. 💼 What I Handle For You ✅ Appointment setting and high volume outbound calling using industry standard dialers ✅ CRM setup, maintenance, and pipeline management across multiple platforms ✅ Project management and team coordination using ClickUp, Notion, Asana, Trello, and Monday ✅ Lead generation, prospecting, and outreach coordination ✅ Workflow automation using Zapier and Make ✅ Client onboarding, SOP documentation, scheduling, email handling, and executive correspondence ✅ Design and content support using Canva and Google Workspace ✅ Real estate support including property research, transaction coordination, and listing management 🌟 Why Clients Work With Me ✅ Real experience supporting clients remotely across different industries and time zones ✅ Flexible availability to align with your schedule wherever you are based ✅ Self managed, detail oriented, and reliable without needing micromanagement ✅ I treat your business like it is my own If you are ready to stop doing everything yourself and start working with someone who gets things done, let us connect.
