What objectives and results?
We launched Sur le Phil and Phil the Gaps to demonstrate our ability to not only produce high-quality video content, but also to manage and grow a social media presence from scratch. The challenge was to reach large audiences organically, while navigating sensitive topics and algorithm constraints.
Millions of organic views, thousands of subscribers, likes, watch hours, and comments within a few months only — leading to remarkable visibility for both our company AddVideos and our CEO, Phil Jordan. His popularity has grown so much that he’s now recognized on the streets in France!

What challenges did we face?
This project came with specific and demanding challenges:
Cultural and platform dynamics: While Sur le Phil quickly found an audience, Phil the Gaps encountered platform resistance—likely shadow banned due to content around Donald Trump and the U.S. elections.
Topic sensitivity: Discussing geopolitics meant avoiding flagged keywords, sensitive thumbnails, and certain footage to prevent reduced reach or shadow bans.
Time & consistency: Sustaining a high-quality flow of videos and Shorts demanded robust planning.
Organic-only growth: With no ad support, each element—from pacing to titles—had to perform algorithmically.
