About Leroy: I'm Leroy, a YouTube Strategist. I've been doing YouTube since 2009, had my first success in 2012 and stopped focusing on my own channel full-time in 2019. By accident, I built a creative production agency off the back of the channel and worked with some awesome brands around the world from it. I came back to YouTube in 2022 as a strategist when I saw that it became an actual role and said goodbye to my businesses fully. Since then I have helped creators of all sizes monetize their channels with just one video, tripled subscriber counts in a matter of months, and garnered millions of views in the process. Now I work with established creators, entrepreneurs and other fun clients and think about YouTube all day!
