Content: Football and IRL Challenges
Since 2024, I have been working with the ChrisMD team to make impactful and effective integrations for channel sponsored brands. From creative visuals to perfectly timed humor to effective messaging, I have helped turn boring, uninspired advertisement reads into fun, engaging product showcases that naturally ties into the creator's voice and style.
How It Started
In December 2023, ChrisMD uploaded the video "Every Time You Score, the Defender Gets Upgraded" that featured a call-out (and subsequent job listing) for a main and second channel editor. Wanting to dive more into the YouTube space while being surrounded with other editors and doing so for a channel I enjoyed watching, I could not resist applying. Knowing I had to differentiate myself from other applicants, I submitted a supplemental video piece, showcasing my editing prowess despite my limited YouTube editing portfolio. I wanted it to serve both as an introductory piece for who I am (e.g., my background, editing credentials, interest in football, YouTube, and the channel, etc.) and a showcase of my content mastery for the ChrisMD main channel in matching its videos' style, tone, and structure. The video's attention to detail and my ability to exceed expectations secured me a spot in the next round of the application process for the main channel editor position.
The following few months would pass by, and with it, each next stage of the application process. From test edits to feedback integrations to interviews to even being flown out to work with the team directly, I took on whatever the team threw at me with eagerness and confidence. Despite everything, however, I fell short of securing the job at the final round. While it was a crushing blow to feel, especially after so much work and time had gone into the whole process, I was nonetheless immensely proud of how I performed and how far I got into the process. Moreover, the team still wanted to keep in touch in case there was ever any extra work that needed to be outsourced.
Where We Are Now
The ChrisMD team has now made me their go-to editor for any additional edits or assignments, in particular, brand integrations. I have now completed over a handful of sponsor promotions for the team, garnering over 3,000,000 impressions, helping the channel generate thousands in sponsorship revenue, and keeping corresponding brands happy.
