Since the age of ten, I knew for sure: I wanted to become a cameraman. What started as a fascination for photo and video grew into a true passion. In the years that followed, I unleashed my creativity on YouTube, where I created films, aftermovies, vacation videos, vlogs, game videos, and much more. Eventually, I found my place as a channel manager for the well-known YouTuber Kwebbelkop. There, I developed and produced formats that not only grabbed attention but also reached hundreds of millions of viewers. This adventure further fueled my love for YouTube, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of revamping channels for many major YouTubers, inspiring them to reach an even broader audience.

Now, with all those years of experience, I work as a Creative YouTube Data Strategist at Age Media. Here, I combine data with smart, creative strategies to give both creators and brands a significant boost and help them reach a large audience. What excites me the most is that YouTube is still full of untapped potential. The platform has so much to offer, and too few people realize how much there is still to gain. And that’s exactly what I want to share with you today. I want to inspire and motivate you to get started and play the YouTube game. Let’s discover and seize those hidden opportunities together!
