Podcast & social growth · Ongoing partnership
How 5FilmsMedia turned a beloved audio podcast into a full multi-platform video engine, tripling the YouTube channel and growing Victoria's personal brand in parallel.
About the client
Victoria Garrick Browne is a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient, TEDx speaker, former Division I athlete and one of the most prominent mental health advocates in the digital creator space. She is the founder of The Hidden Opponent and the host of RealPod, a top-ranked mental health podcast that has surpassed 10 million all-time downloads.
Featured by Forbes, Women's Health and Meet the Press, she has built a combined platform of over 2 million followers. RealPod publishes weekly and is distributed by Dear Media. 5FilmsMedia was brought on in March 2023 to lead video production, short-form strategy and social growth, working closely with Victoria and her brand manager, Jenna Tavares.
The challenge
Our approach
We built an integrated content strategy around RealPod's weekly cadence. Each episode produced a full-length YouTube upload, multiple short-form clips, and a branded teaser, while Victoria's personal channels grew in parallel.
| Service | Scope |
|---|---|
| Full episode production | End-to-end video production for RealPod long-form YouTube episodes: editing, colour and audio polish. |
| Short-form clip editing | Weekly Shorts and Reels cut from episodes for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok. |
| Thumbnail design | Custom branded thumbnails aligned to RealPod's visual identity for all uploads. |
| Posting strategy | Content scheduling and publishing strategy optimised around audience activity data. |
| Teaser production | Short promotional teasers ahead of new episode launches to drive anticipation and clicks. |
| Event & keynote content | On-demand coverage of Victoria's speaking engagements, brand events and keynote appearances. |
| Personal brand content | Ongoing short-form and lifestyle content for her personal Instagram and TikTok channels. |
The results

They've been such a game-changer for our podcast, RealPod, handling both our long-form and short-form video in a way that feels so aligned with our vision. They really understand our editing style, from pacing to storytelling to how we want clips to land on social. There's a natural alignment that makes the whole process feel easy. On top of that, their communication is seamless, organised, and on top of deadlines. We'd highly recommend working with them!
