YouTube Shorts agency for campaigns, production & strategy

Shorts production at creatorhub starts at €1,500; Shorts campaigns with creators start at €5,000. For production, the price depends on scope and frequency — an ongoing series with several Shorts per week is priced differently than a one-off season. For creator campaigns, the number and size of the creators determine the budget.

After a short briefing you will receive a concrete proposal — including an honest assessment of which setup your goal actually requires.

Consistency beats volume: 2–4 Shorts per week is the realistic and effective pace for most channels. More important than raw frequency is the series format — the algorithm and your audience need to recognize what your channel stands for, and recognizable formats get you there far faster than a new standalone idea every day.

Our advice: three strong Shorts per week sustained over months beats posting daily for two weeks and then stopping. The Shorts feed rewards channels that deliver reliably.

Four things: a hook in the first 2 seconds, one single clear idea per Short, a recognizable series format and a native 9:16 edit. The hook decides whether people swipe away — visually and in the first sentence. After that, retention is everything: every second without progress costs viewers, which is why a Short carries exactly one idea, not three.

What does not work: horizontal videos with black bars, trimmed-down TV spots and clips with no recognizable sender. Shorts are their own format with their own language — not leftovers from a long-form production.

It depends on your goal. YouTube Shorts win on longevity and search: Shorts keep getting discovered through YouTube search and the feed months after publishing, and they feed your channel directly — including the bridge to long videos that build trust and sell. TikTok is faster: trends start there first and reach often comes sooner, but it also fades more quickly.

In practice it is rarely either-or: from one clean 9:16 production we serve Shorts, TikTok and Reels at the same time — with platform-specific adjustments. Where your focus should be is something we tell you honestly in the first call.

Yes — Shorts are one of the strongest top-of-funnel channels on YouTube because they are served to people who don't know your channel yet. Subscriptions come mainly from series formats: viewers who see your format for the third time hit subscribe.

But let's be honest: Shorts viewers rarely become customers directly. Conversion usually happens one level deeper — in long videos, on your website or in a first call. That is why we never build Shorts in isolation, but as the entry point of a funnel: discovery through Shorts, trust through long-form, conversion through a clear offer.

First signals — impressions, swipe behavior, retention per format — show up within a few weeks. Reliable conclusions about which formats carry the channel and how fast it grows take 2–3 months of consistent series publishing. The Shorts feed tests new channels and formats step by step; individual spikes or dips in the first weeks say very little.

That is why we work in seasons: test formats first, read the data, then scale. Changing course completely after two weeks means starting from zero with the algorithm again and again.

Yes. We regularly join channels that already post Shorts but aren't growing. In that case we start with an audit: we read the retention curves and subscriber sources of your existing Shorts, identify what's holding back the format, the hooks or the frequency, and build a series concept on top.

Existing content often holds more potential than the numbers suggest — what's missing is the system. Shorts that already worked become our data foundation instead of starting from scratch.
