We empower Creators on their journey to success through deep analytics, AI recommendations, and personal coaching.

Just about every single human on this planet loves to listen to stories, to experience them, and some to tell them. Because of the internet, people are able to build businesses while in the comfort of their own home. However, a lot of people, some with amazing stories, are giving up too fast. There's too much bad information out there on how creators become successful. vidIQ challenges this status quo by giving creators the tools and knowledge needed to grow their audiences faster by enabling them to uncover their own opportunities.

Your team will help creators to grow by making it simple and intuitive for them to get the right data and insights, at the right time, and delivered in the right format. To do this, your team will do in-depth qualitative and quantitative user research, synthesize those findings into actionable designs and high fidelity prototypes, and partner with Product and Engineering to deliver value to creators across the world.
