The Program Consultation

WE BUILT IT. NOW WE HELP YOU DO THE SAME.

The New North has generated over 20 million shorts views, 1,200,000+ organic episodic views, and 500,000+ hours of watch time. It has been compared to Last Chance U and Hard Knocks. Over 70% of long-form views come from TV screens. It earned YouTube's "Hyped in Sports" label. And it was built by a team of three.

We did not follow a playbook. We wrote one. Now we share what we have learned with brands looking to connect with audiences through real organic storytelling and filmmakers looking to build something that lasts on YouTube.

FOR BRANDS

YOUR AUDIENCE IS WATCHING YOUTUBE ON THEIR TV. ARE YOU SHOWING UP LIKE A TV SHOW?

The way audiences consume content has shifted. YouTube is now a primary television platform, and the brands winning attention are the ones creating content worth watching, not just scrolling past.

We consult with brands on how to develop original series, build sustained audiences on YouTube, and create content strategies that go beyond product ads and influencer deals. Whether you are a sporting goods company, an athletic brand, or an organization looking to own a content lane, we help you think like a showrunner, not just a marketer.

What we cover:

  • Original content development and creative strategy for YouTube

  • Episodic Infrastructure

  • Audience building and channel architecture

  • Long-form content strategy and TV-screen viewership optimization

  • Integration opportunities within The New North and future series from The Program

  • Short-form content strategy across YouTube Shorts and vertical platforms

  • 1-on-1 Consultation - we'll act as your external Creative Director​​
