who are they?

An Instagram account for the next generation of creators on YouTube.

the brief

Create a new Instagram account speaking directly to YouTube creators. Create a unique yet on-brand look and feel that can be used across the community space whilst delivering tips, tricks and insights to these creators.

the process

Redeveloping YouTube's existing brand guidelines into a style that fit our needs, I finalised a style the client loved, and created a detailed toolkit outlining our unique YouTube Creators style. This 70+ page brand guidelines document covered everything from colour and icons to tone and typography. I presented it to international teams, including Global Brand Ambassadors and YouTube Creators India and Korea.

the results

A consistent, flexible framework enabling teams worldwide to create on-brand assets asynchronously resulting in a launch that generated 4.87 million impressions in its first month.

A series of four screenshots from a YouTube Creators Instagram account displaying different kinds of designed posts all using gradient backgrounds, brightly coloured text and photography showing diverse creators.
Six colorful social media graphic cards with questions and statements about content creation and support, set against a purple background.
Instagram story with colorful background and smiley face stickers, text that reads 'my happiest moment as a creator...' with a YouTube icon and a text box for typing.
