Vertical video strategy

I build short-form channels that earn the scroll.

I designed and produced the vertical video strategy for @eipodcast.berlin — from format and framing to hooks, captions and posting cadence. Applying for Social Video Producer at GetYourGuide.

Case study

EI Podcast Berlin — a vertical channel from zero

The podcast had long-form episodes and no short-form presence. I built the vertical layer around it: a shooting setup that captures 9:16 natively, a clip taxonomy (Q&A, hot take, behind-the-scenes), and an edit language — burned-in subtitles, tight jump cuts, a hook line on frame one.

Three formats carry the channel: street Q&As shot around Berlin, cutdowns from the studio recordings, and episode/guest announcements. The best of them — 17.1K views on a street Q&A — set the retention benchmark every later clip is edited against, and the grid now totals 48K+ organic views with no paid support.

The show

EI: Emotional Intelligence — intimacy, emotional labor, embodied practice

A podcast series I host, curate and produce, recorded live at Studio db in Berlin. Each episode asks one question that turns out to be difficult: what does it actually take — emotionally, physically, professionally — to work with intimacy on stage and onscreen? The guests are the people who know: intimacy coordinators, choreographers, performance directors, sex workers, porn filmmakers and sex educators.

Berlin is the frame. The city has a long relationship to sex positivity, but the emotionality around sex is spoken about far less openly. EI proposes a counter-practice: a cartography of the city's intimate scene built not from venues and events but from the practitioners themselves. Episode by episode, the archive becomes the map.

Part One — 60 min

Moderated conversation

Host and guest on their practice, intimacy as labor, and the ethics and emotional dimensions of the work — audience Q&A included. Every episode opens with a shared container: a brief verbal agreement about participation, listening and confidentiality, drawn from the same professional practice the guests work in. It signals that what happens here is held, not exposed.

Part Two — 30 min

Embodied practice, narrated

The guest shares a practice with the live room while speaking directly to camera: what it is, what it activates, how it's used professionally. For the viewer at home it isn't a participation exercise — it's a window into a professional practice most people have never seen documented. It's what makes EI more than talking heads.

Shorts as discovery engine

Every episode yields self-contained short-form moments — a sharp exchange, a surprising definition, thirty seconds of a practice explained. Not trailers. Shorts attract new audiences; full episodes hold them.

Production setup

Intentionally simple, and the aesthetic is part of the argument: empty studio floor, two chairs and a desk, mics for host and guest, the guest's work projected as backdrop, minimum two camera angles plus a master, edited in post.

Archive & transcript

Episodes live in a growing public archive with show notes, guest links and full transcripts; sign language interpretation is planned for live recordings. The archive is the cartography made visible.

Curation

Not a roster of the most famous names in the field — a considered portrait of who is actually doing this work across film, performance, sex work and education. I select each guest in coordination with Studio db, shape the interview and hold the container for the practice segment.

Who it's for

Anyone who has met intimacy as a professional question, a personal one, or both: theatre and film practitioners, students, researchers, sex educators, and curious people who have never come near intimacy work. No prior knowledge required — and no performed innocence either. Guests speak frankly; the host doesn't manage that frankness away. What the series offers is context, rigor and warmth.

Version 2 — streaming

Part One streams as a standard live podcast, with the guest's work projected as backdrop. Part Two doesn't try to replicate the room: the guest narrates the practice for the online audience — what's happening, what it activates, how it works professionally. Not a compromise, a stronger piece of content than filming a room.

01

Hook in the first 1.5s

Every cut starts from the strongest line in the room. If it doesn't stop the thumb, it doesn't go out.

02

Retention-shaped edit

Pattern breaks every 3–4 seconds, burned-in subtitles, motion that carries the sentence instead of decorating it.

03

Publish, read, repeat

Watch-time and retention curves decide the next batch. Formats that hold get scaled, the rest get retired.
