YouTube Strategy

John Nellis

Worked on every long-form video from 600K to 14.5M subscribers, specialising in YouTube strategy, ideation and edit feedback.

Process

My role spans the full creative process, from identifying high-potential ideas and shaping overall YouTube strategy to optimising titles and thumbnails, scripting intros, structuring stories and providing edit feedback throughout production.

Strategy

Every video begins with finding an idea that has the potential to become a global hit.

From there, every stage is designed to maximise performance: packaging that earns the click, intros that immediately hook viewers, story structures built around progression and escalation, and edits optimised to maximise audience retention.

One example was Kylian Mbappé Surprised His Biggest Fan, which became the biggest video in John's channel history with 20 million views.
