Work History and Achievements
- Side+: I was brought onto the Side+ team before it launched in 2021 to promote the Sidemen's new subscription service via TikTok. The account was an instant success (as illustrated in the video below), and grew to 450K followers in the first 2 weeks.I managed this page from 0 followers, and grew it to 1 Million in just 4 months! After being the only person on the account/editing for over a year, I ended my stint as the sole manager at 1.9 million followers - and we ended up growing to 2.5 Million followers!Furthermore, I took on the Side+ Instagram at 113K followers, and revolutionised it by posting reels on the account - instantly doubling engagement where we skyrocketed to 522K followers in just 15 months!- Sidemen: After my success with the Side+ pages, I advocated for the revival of the @Sidemen account on TikTok, and finally got my chance - growing from 2.8 million - 5.5 million all alone in only 10 months! My role changed to solely editing, where the account ammassed over 1 BILLION VIEWS, and 6.7 million followers!Eventually, my editing role would land me work on other Sidemen channels, like MoreSidemen and SidemenReacts, aswell as XIX Vodka and Sides.- Beta Squad: My time with the Beta Squad was unfortunately cut short, but my legacy on the account is still evident. I had noticed that the page was dormant, so I got to work and revived it. In just 7 posts, my work averaged 3 million views and would be the catalyst to their short-form journey. I wish I could have kept the momentum going - but it's cool to see the account still doing well!- FNATIC: My "big break" came with FNATIC. I was brought on as a freelance editor, and I learnt a lot. Here is where I learnt how to combine time sensitive moments with short-form principles. I learnt after a while - and secured a freelance contract where my work was consistently the most successful on the account (not that it was a competition)

About Me:
I'm Michael, an 20-year-old editor that first started editing in 2017, aspiring to be a big creator like some of my favourite YouTubers at the time. From humble beginnings in iMovie, I now look back and utilise all the skills which I have collected to capitalise on my potential!With many goals and aspirations ahead, I dedicate many hours every day to perfecting my craft, although I still have a lot to learn. With every new job, I aim to learn something new, and better myself not only as an editor but also as a professional.
Core Values:
Audience engagement: I strive to ensure that the audience will be engaged throughout the video, the use of various editing techniques. Additionally, I love interacting with fans through account management to gain a personal connection with the accounts!
Watch time: I aim to edit and condense down all unnecessary content, to ensure that no second is wasted, helping to push that content into the algorithm and recommended feeds.
Relationship with clients: I pride myself on my relationship with clients. I believe in professional, transparent conversation which is mutually beneficial to improve reliability, trust, and understanding.
Timely deliveries: The ability to punctually deliver quality work to clients, highlights reliability and trust in my services.
