YouTube: Packaging for Marketplace and The Fifth Estate

YouTube: Packaging for Marketplace and The Fifth Estate

As YouTube Producer at CBC News, I was responsible for packaging titles, thumbnails, descriptions and SEO for our many shows, in an audience-first way. These shows included Marketplace and The Fifth Estate. Our goal:

  • Increase click-through-rate by drawing people in

  • Deliver on expectations set by packaging (measured through retention)

  • Overall watch time

Below you can see examples of my work. For each of these thumbnails and titles, I screened the episode and pitched a vision, collaborating with show producers and designers.
