Summary
I've generated 19M organic views and 35,000 followers through short-form video by optimising hooks, retention and platform trends. Most of these have been satirical sketches but I've learned over the years that you can bring these skills into almost any creative medium. I don't just schedule posts - I build reach and understand how the SEO on these platforms work.
