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 on YouTube.

The result has been bigger than we could have imagined, having generated over a billion organic views and hundreds of millions of subscribers for creators like MrBeast, Ali Abdaal, Mark Manson, Chris Williamson, Codie Sanchez, and orgs like Y Combinator, e.l.f beauty, WHOOP, ClickUp, Center for Humane Technology & more

.

Unlike other social media agencies or YouTube businesses, Dragonfruit refuses to celebrate a “creator economy” that trades viewers’ time and attention for rapid-fire dopamine entertainmen

t.

Instead, we want to lead a global movement to make YouTube a more valuable and educational place for all people; where views and subscribers are never an end in and of themselves, but rather a means of increasing human flourishing; where viral-educational YouTube channels not only bolster awareness and impact for our client's brands, but also create genuine value in viewers’ liv

es.
