KiKi shared an unedited recording for an opening sample. After reviewing the edit and thumbnail, she commissioned a paid pilot covering the full episode and three vertical Shorts.
The opening edit combined tighter pacing, audio mixing, supporting footage and visual callouts. The short clips packaged individual moments for mobile viewing, with a call to action for the podcast’s Substack.
Delivered: one full-length episode, three vertical Shorts, a custom thumbnail, and suggested upload titles, descriptions and episode chapters.
Watch the full episode below.
