Fight Circus Shorts Reactivation 2024–2025

Channel Reactivation Case Study

FightCircus had a dormant YouTube presence and limited fresh assets.

My work focused on rapid short-form deployment, packaging, and live experiments to capture real audience signals and rebuild momentum.

My Role

The goal wasn’t perfection.

The goal was signal.

I shipped Shorts fast, tested hooks and premises, and supported live streams to pull real-time engagement data while the channel re-entered distribution.

Client handled

  • Event brand and creative direction
  • Fight promotion and distribution planning
  • Access to archival footage and event assets
  • Operational decisions around live execution

I handled

  • YouTube Shorts edit production
  • Repurposing Shorts for Instagram where applicable
  • Packaging for in-feed comprehension
  • Engineering + support for two YouTube live streams
  • Fast iteration under limited asset constraints
