"I wanted to position myself as someone who wouldn't just be prescribing polls, but would be providing people empowerment to take control of their health directly. I'm definitely unique as a content creator because of the nature of the content I produce. The expertise Shorthand has brought in is fantastic, they're melding with mine... and we've seen the results."
"Within a few months of working directly with Shorthand's vp of creative strategy, Zack Evans, Norwitz began A/B testing thumbnails and video titles, and aimed to consistently upload two videos a week. They also reworked the metabolic health branding, and the combined results led to some major viewing boosts. Norwitz's channel, which features mid-length videos usually between 15-20 minutes, has increased views 442% and watch time by 151%."
Nick Norwitz, a Harvard Medical School graduate, transitioned to full-time content creation focused on metabolic health. After signing with Underscore Talent's Shorthand Studios in March, he implemented strategic improvements including A/B testing thumbnails and titles, maintaining a two-videos-per-week upload schedule, and rebranding his metabolic health messaging. These efforts produced significant growth: YouTube views increased 442%, watch time rose 151%, and subscribers grew from 170,000 to 870,000. To diversify revenue beyond ad income, Norwitz launched a Substack newsletter publishing three medical letters weekly, which attracted 5,200 paying subscribers within months. His approach emphasizes empowering audiences with actionable health information rather than prescriptive advice.
