One of the world’s largest automotive YouTube channels partnered with me to create thumb-stopping editorial content that retained existing subscribers while attracting a broader audience—from classic car enthusiasts to EV-focused viewers.
​
The piece was designed as a cinematic, personality-driven feature, combining journalistic storytelling with high-end visuals to make a technically ambitious build feel personal, relatable, and emotionally engaging.
​
Through intentional lighting, thoughtful interview structure, and a dynamic edit that escalated from story and context to technical detail and high-energy driving sequences, the video balanced human connection, mechanical depth, and spectacle.
OUTCOME
Over 1 million views, exceptional engagement, and sustained audience growth—proving that premium storytelling and strong visual direction drive performance at scale.

Peak engagement occurs about 75% of the way in suggesting
that viewers remained engaged throughout most of the video.
