Context
Museums talk to people who already visit. artlust talks to everyone else, and proves the research-to-story method at scale with my own name on it.
My Role
Research, scripts, edits, titles, posting, analytics, and the automation behind all of it.
Watch
How It Grew
- Volume with a system. About 47 uploads a week on a planner and executor pipeline.
- Test the title, not the topic. Explainer titles across 1,120 videos: +74% views, twice the subscribers.
- Automate the repetition. 33 recurring jobs cut to 12.
- Go long where it pays. Researched essays on Substack, 82% paid retention.
Why It Works
- The frame is the argument people are already in. The art is the evidence.
- Formats hold ideologically different audiences in one comment section.
- Quoted in The New York Times, People, and Women’s Wear Daily.
