TL;DR: Dragonfruit Media is an agency that helps major businesses and creators maximize engagement, revenue, and impact on YouTube. We use the power of human storytelling to amplify marginalized voices, share valuable insights, and address systemic issues.

Some of the creators our team has supported include Mrbeast, Ali Abdaal, Noah Kagan, Ryan Deiss, David Perell, and Sorelle Amore, along with brands such as FTX, Clickup, and Linktree. In the past 12 months alone, we helped our clients reach over 184 million organic views.

Our videos cover a wide range of topics—from Kendrick Lamar’s note-taking style to real estate and global economic trends, study tips, and podcast episodes where our clients have interviewed Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and other leading tech thinkers.

About Dragonfruit Media

Why we do it:
– 🔥 Video is the fastest-growing and most scalable channel for acquiring customers organically.
– 💵 Companies that control their own organic distribution (instead of constantly buying ads) will lead the future of marketing.
– 🌎 Stories change lives, and if we can teach millions through our clients’ videos, we’re helping make the world a better place.

Dragonfruit’s values:

1) You’re Here and You Belong
– The ability to be vulnerable with each other is the strongest predictor of success on our team. Mistakes won’t be held against you. Learning hiccups are not only expected—they’re welcome. They’re part of how we grow.

2) Clarity is Kindness
– Being clear and timely shows you care. We value transparency, vulnerability, and proactive communication. And yes—we genuinely prioritize kindness.

3) 1% Better Every Day
– We love to nerd out, and we love people who are willing to do the same. There’s always more information available to help you make small, steady improvements.

4) Extreme Ownership
– When possible, take personal responsibility for outcomes rather than blaming external circumstances. It’s the most empowered way to learn and make an impact. We like to say: “Look in the Mirror, Not Out the Window.”

😎 You’re a good fit if…
– You’re a YouTube nerd—you love watching and making videos, and you’ve explored analytics like retention charts.
– You understand both Premiere Pro and After Effects, and you have strong motion graphics and design skills (not just basic editing).
– You can create and review editing templates and have managed client style guides before.
– You appreciate nuanced sound design, and choosing the right music makes you oddly satisfied.
– You don’t need the same feedback repeated—you track revision rounds so everyone’s time is respected (including yours).
– You’re an excellent communicator who proactively clarifies instructions and deadlines so your team can succeed.

💪 What you’ll be working on
– Collaborating with the creative team to produce the absolute most kickass YouTube videos.
– Adapting and editing your work to match client feedback and our style guides.
– Improving each new video by incorporating feedback from YouTube retention charts and audience comments.
– Reviewing your editing calendar in ClickUp and staying ahead of schedule with minimal supervision.
