Tom Sharman — Co-Founder
If you’ve spent any time on the Internet, you’ve probably seen my work. Over a decade helping content creators and brands to reach hundreds of millions of eyeballs, generating $1.6M in Adsense revenue, over $2M in Brand deals, $1.3M in Subscription revenue and over $200K for charitable causes. I’ve led my career by selfishly following my own interests, spanning YouTube, culture, sport, gaming, fashion and comedy. In doing so I’ve had a career full of fun and more failures than I can count. Some highlights include: - An 8-part “Biggest Menace” series featuring the UK and US’ biggest pranksters., Niko Omilana and Jidion, delivering 78M views and driving $390K in AdSense. - Pranked the leader of the KKK, resulting in 46M longform views and a couple of billion impressions on reposted and clipped content. Many credit this as 2022’s best video on YouTube. - Launched an agency for subscription creators, generating $750,000 in our first 12 months of operation, managing an exclusive roster of 23. On average we 5x’d our creators’ monthly earnings and 8x’d their social growth. - Relaunched Business Podcast “Secret Leaders”, growing it to 1st in UK Careers charts and 2nd in the UK Business charts behind Diary of a CEO. Interviewing Deborah Meadon, James Watt, Frank Smith, Tom Kerridge, Herman Hauser, Nadhim Zahawi and Simon Squibb. - Ran Combat gaming livestreams partnering with EA Sports, Activision Blizzard, EPIC Games and over 150+ celebrities to raise $200K for charity, reaching tens of millions of live viewers and over 2 billion Impressions. - Signed England and former-Chelsea footballer Mason Mount to Combat Gaming as an ambassador, alongside a roster of content creators including Manny. - Led content and creative for Gareth Bale’s Esports team, Ellevens. Including signing the first in-game shirt sponsorship in FIFA with Duracell. - Organised a circus and 3 removal vans outside Downing Street and branded it “Clowning Street” to call for the resignation of Boris Johnson. I was threatened with arrest on Terrorism charges. Upon reflection, maybe not the best idea. - Partnered with The Burnt Chip to generate 49M views across 28 videos. Highlights include trapping YouTubers in a London townhouse for 50 hours in total darkness, 24hr Go Kart races, a 2 week TukTuk road trip across Sri Lanka and staying in the world’s deepest hotel. - Launched a student media company, Tyro Magazine reaching 40% of UK Students a month, with a small but mighty editorial team of 3 and 350 student writers.
