Carlos Pedroso

After the channel, I moved through employee roles into leadership, then built my own operation. I have worked across retail, real estate and financial services, solving production problems and testing formats that actually hold attention. Companies often treat content like an ad; I treat it like a creator would, because that is what keeps people watching. I run Pedroso Films end to end, focused on retention and conversion for both brands and creators.

Built and ran my own YouTube channel from scratch, writing, filming, hosting and editing every video myself. Grew it to 5K subscribers off just 38 videos and 146K organic views, with 40-67% average retention, well above the norm for the niche. I planned every video by reading the retention graph, the same problem-solving instinct I still use today to keep people watching.
