YouTube strategist Nico Lockhart, founder of Team Falco, joins Aven Yap to pull apart what it really takes to build kids’ IP on a digital-first platform.
Nico has a decade of experience across traditional and digital platforms, and facilitated the inaugural Kids IP Incubator run by Screen Australia and the Australian Children’s Television Foundation.
He explains why creativity and distribution are now one process, why the best creators start with a thumbnail rather than a script, and why most channels take two to three years to build their audience.
This is a practical roadmap for anyone creating in the kids’ space or thinking about how to find your audience on YouTube.
Listen to hear Nico discuss:
How discovery works on YouTube and the friction points that stop people from watching
Thumbnail-first ideation and why distribution and creativity are now one process
Building flexible formats that never expire
How to spot a real trend vs. a passing moment
The financial reality of digital-first kids’ IP
Why the narrative of viral success hurts creators
