Sound Designer
Hintergrund:

I discovered early on that for me the magic lies in sounds. Especially when they come along harmoniously, as in the form of music. It's really amazing how you can evoke feelings with sounds - without saying a single word. Over the years, with a lot of enthusiasm and and countless experiments, I have managed to pursue my passion as a profession.

Was ich an meinem Job bei youstream liebe:

Every production is the result of the collaboration of many creative minds. Everyone at youstream does their part, but our customers also always contribute valuable ideas. While I contribute my part, I really appreciate it when the end result also achieves a certain effect. Be it as an emotion in the faces of the viewers or as a measurable result.

Das ist mein Tick:

Without coffee in the morning, nothing starts.

Hintergrund:

I have been involved in search engine marketing and the dazzling facets associated with it since 2008. Already during my M.A. Business Management studies, I built up a portal series with over 60 portals and 1.5 million users. Afterwards, I founded my own advertising agency and an online portal for best agers and seniors. Since 2013, I have been shaping the positive development of 120 companies in Germany and Switzerland so far. It's a huge adventure, with exciting stories and brilliant surprises!

Was ich an meinem Job bei youstream liebe:

Every project has its chance to become something very special. This freedom to create something with my skills and make it successful is what drives me! I love to build small companies or projects that show the big ones that you can be more successful with clever decisions! Because in the online market, it's not the big ones that eat the small ones, but the fast ones that eat the slow ones. Get in the fast lane with me and step on the gas!

Hintergrund:

After my apprenticeship as a technical businessman, I pursued my true passion and trained in the disciplines of script writing, dialogue design, lighting design as well as film styles. This was followed by a 7-year employment at Swiss Television in video technology. In 2008, I realised my long-awaited dream and founded youstream.

Was ich an meinem Job bei youstream liebe:

I love challenges, even if it seems impossible at the beginning. With our different ideas, expertise and perspectives, it comes together as a whole.

Whether it's a challenging video project or a well thought-out video strategy, we achieve peak performance because everyone is pulling in the same direction. That's what makes my work here really great.

Yannick Scherer
Geschäftsführer & Inhaber
Hintergrund:
Während meiner Matur wurde mir bewusst, dass ich eine kreative Berufung anstreben möchte. Nach ein paar Jahren als Videograf, wagte ich die Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit und somit rückte mein Ziel näher. In dieser Zeit lernte ich, dass mich gut erzählte Stories und Inhalte packen und inspirieren. Als Teil meiner Generation, Gen Z, wurde ich mit Social Media und einer digitalen Präsenz schon früh konfrontiert. Im September 2024 übernahm ich das Unternehmen von Adrian und lebe somit meinen Traum.

 

Was ich an meinem Job bei youstream liebe:

Video Marketing fasziniert mich immer wieder aufs Neue. Film ist wohl das kollaborativste Medium, das es gibt. Den Prozess von Anfang bis Ende mit gleichgesinnten Kreativen und Marketern durchzuführen, erfreut mich tagtäglich.

Im Mittelpunkt steht die Story und deren Emotionen, sie sind was Videos so erfolgreich machen.

Das ist mein Tick:

Wenn ich konzentriert bin, trommle ich oft den Beat eines Songs mit meinen Fingern.

About us - youstream GmbH

youstream mission

To make your company more successful with videos. That is our mission. Your company becomes more visible with video. We increase conversion in a targeted manner throughout your entire customer journey.

This is how it works. It all starts with a good briefing.

  • What is the goal.
  • Who is the target group.
  • What does the customer journey look like.
  • What is the message.
  • What is the creative implementation.

From this comes the strategy, which takes into account not only the production but also the distribution. Because a video production is ineffective, without visibility and without conversion.

We also recommend the analysis of the activities. This is the only way to better understand your target audience and yourself in the long run. This is how we can make ourselves unbeatable in the long run.
