THE PROBLEM

To be the best on YouTube, you need to differentiate yourself significantly. One of the core elements that differentiate "banger" videos from mediocre ones is the conceptual ideas behind them. Creativity is enhanced by constraints, often times.The MrBeast ideation team doesn't have a clear process to manage and optimize ideation, yet.

THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT

Create a scalable internal system to manage the entire MrBeast ideation process, where team members can collaborate and foster creativity, with the end goal of producing incredible ideas for sensational videos that expand the boundaries of content production on YouTube and beyond. All of this while rewarding the right people at the right time for their creative inputs through precise performance analytics.

THE WORK PROCESS

Blake, head of ideation at MrBeast, had a clear vision when we started our project: a scalable system that can easily support the necessary tension between unconstrained creativity and precise analytics and performance management. We began by breaking down the fundamental workflows of the ideation team. We iterated on the workflows through multiple implementations, testing, and iterations to make the systems "stick" and meet the high standards required to manage and produce superior-quality content.

THE WORK PROCESS

THE OUTCOME

Blake controls the ideation process at MrBeast. Creativity thrives in carefully crafted constraints. He can oversee activities at any time and work on ideas to turn them into stunning videos that set the standard in the YouTube industry.
