We just got back from speaking at the Hollyland booth at NAB 2026, and we want to share the exact presentation we gave on how Think Media plans, produces, and analyzes YouTube videos! In this video, Craig and Nate break down the "3 C's" of planning a video (Concept, Click, and Content), and how spending more time on your titles and thumbnails before you film will completely change your channel's trajectory.
You will also learn the "A.V.L.S." framework for production, the 4 types of retention graphs you need to monitor, and why a simple thumbnail swap helped us turn a dying video into a 600,000-view success story.
Our mission here at Think Media is to help purpose-driven entrepreneurs go full-time doing what they love and making an impact through the power of video.
