Project Summary

Project Summary

BIG Esports began as a personal passion project built around gaming and short-form content creation. Starting in 2020, I began experimenting with videos simply because I enjoyed making them. Over the next two years, the project grew into a community of more than 170,000 followers and 45 million views, while showing me that my real passion wasn't gaming—it was creating content that people genuinely enjoyed.

Overview

Overview

BIG Esports was where I truly discovered my passion for content creation. Every video became an opportunity to learn something new—how to capture attention, tell a better story, and understand why people chose to engage with one piece of content over another.

By the end of my first year, I had grown the account to roughly 35,000 followers and just under 1 million views. The following year, I doubled down on improving my content, growing the community to over 170,000 followers and generating more than 45 million views. More valuable than the numbers were the lessons I learned about storytelling, audience behavior, and creating content that consistently earned attention.

Results & Impact

Results & Impact

Looking back, BIG Esports was much more than a successful social media account—it was where I discovered the type of work I genuinely enjoy. Every video challenged me to think more creatively, tell stronger stories, and better understand what captures people's attention. Those lessons continue to influence how I approach every campaign, client, and creative project today.
