Back to all case studies

The Challenge

A 700k subscriber entertainment channel was experiencing a slow but steady decline that had creators stressed and searching for answers. Monthly views had dropped from consistent 200k+ per video to the low 100k range over several months, with subscriber growth stagnating. Meanwhile, competitors they had once mentored were surpassing them with 1M+ subscribers, using increasingly sensational approaches that didn't align with the channel's values.

Our Strategic Approach

What started as an analytics review revealed a deeper issue: the strategies that built their success were now limiting their growth. They needed to appeal to new audiences while retaining their existing fanbase. Through focused consultation on packaging strategy, we identified how to evolve their approach without compromising their authentic voice. The key breakthrough came through thumbnail optimization that competed with sensational trends while maintaining their integrity.
