Who we are:Four years ago, Dragonfruit set out to bring together some of the most talented visual storytellers, viral video strategists, and big-name clients to change the way we create and consume content on YouTube.The result has been bigger than we could have imagined—over a billion organic views and hundreds of millions of subscribers generated for creators like MrBeast, Ali Abdaal, Mark Manson, Chris Williamson, Codie Sanchez, and organizations like Y Combinator, e.l.f. Beauty, WHOOP, ClickUp, and the Center for Humane Technology.Unlike other agencies, we don’t chase empty views.
