what to measure in a sponsor creative brief so brands renew after the first campaign
I’m often asked by creators and brand partners the same question: what should live in a sponsor creative brief so the brand wants to renew after the first campaign? From my POV, the brief is not just a list of creative do’s and don’ts — it’s a measurement contract. It sets expectations,...

How to run a low-cost viewer latency lab with raspberry pi relays and cloud encoders to measure real-world delay
I wanted a repeatable, low-cost way to measure real-world viewer latency across different streaming stacks, so I built a little lab that uses Raspberry Pi-controlled relays to simulate viewer interactions and cloud encoders to generate test streams. The goal was simple: measure the end-to-end delay...

How to design a clip gating experiment that increases paid conversions without cutting viral reach
I run a lot of experiments for creators and small teams, and one of the trickiest trade-offs I see is between viral reach and paid conversion. Clips—short highlights from live streams or videos—are the engine of virality. They’re shareable, discoverable and low-friction. But when you try to...
