A Slow Start (With Big Dreams)
ShortVids was a small company back then, we used to focus on long-form content because at that time short form content wasn’t at its peak. It was June 2021 when Jakib Sports came knocking. They’re a Sports media company covering Philadelphia sports teams, like the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and 76ers, and they need a ton of short-form content, specifically for the Eagles.
At that time, short-form video content was still pretty new for us and let’s just say, our team was not exactly ready for the challenge. But here’s the thing, we love challenges we’re not ones to back down. So we took a deep breath, rolled up our sleeves, and got to work. When Jakib first came on board, we could only manage about two shorts a day. Yep, you read that right, just two.
Think about it, just 2 shorts. That’s not a lot when you’re working in the rapid environment of sports, where the news cycle moves faster than ever before. Our goal was simple that is “Scale it up”. As the season was ending, we needed to hit around10 shorts per day. No big deal, right?
What Challenges We Faced Long Along the Way?
We hit some bumps along the way okay, let’s be real, we hit a lot of bumps. Have you ever tried to cover an event in real-time, with the clock ticking and the pressure building like a football game in the final seconds? Welcome to our world.
Here are just a few of the hurdles we had to clear:
Building the Team
Let’s be honest, at first, we didn’t have enough support in place. Our team had to grow fast to meet the demand. ShortVids started with only 3 people on the deck… not enough we know. So, we found the best editors, project coordinators, and the works. The dream team was born. Learn more about How ShortVids is Better for Your Content Needs?
Deadlines, Deadlines, Deadlines
Sports news doesn’t wait for anyone. One minute, the big play happens, and the next minute, it’s old news. We needed to produce content fast and not just fast, but really fast. Initially, we had a six-hour turnaround, which wasn’t cutting it. By the peak of the project, we were getting that down to a quick 15 minutes after the event. And yes, we’re proud of that.
Time Zones, Oh My!
American football is played across various time zones, so we had to figure out how to work across the board. A 15-minute turnaround meant we needed editors available round the clock, so we built a global team setup. It wasn’t pretty at first, but eventually, we made it work.
Software, Tools, and More Tools
Let’s just say, without the right tools, this wouldn’t have happened. We got our hands on software like Replay and integrated tools that helped speed up the process.With the team and tech in place, things started to fall into place (and it was just as rewarding as we’d hoped).
The Outcome Jakib Sports Achieved With ShortVids
Finally when the big day arrived, we didn’t just meet the target of producing around shorts in a single day we exceeded it. By the end of the day, 10+ completed and reviewed shorts were ready to go. Here’s how we made it happen:
Audience Focus
By creating content that spoke directly to fans, we tapped into what made them enthusiastic about Philly sports. The result? Videos that sparked conversations and excitement across the community.
Content That Connects
Every short was created with care, assuring it aligned with the client’s goals. Each video captured the energy and excitement that Philly sports fans love, keeping them engaged and eager for more.
Seamless Collaboration
Working closely with the client, we stayed on the same page throughout the process. From brainstorming ideas to finalizing content, our team guaranteed that the client’s vision is executed perfectly.
Flexible Execution
Our team stayed flexible, addressing any changes or feedback in real-time to keep the workflow smooth and efficient. We made sure to deliver the amount of content they expected of us.
What It Meant for Jakib Sports With ShortVids
This project wasn’t just about meeting deadlines or creating videos—it was about building deeper connections with the audience and proving what’s possible when the right team comes together.
This wasn’t just about completing a task, it was about showing what’s possible when the right team and tools come together.
Client Testimonial
We Plan, We Execute
If you throw a challenge our way, we’ll figure it out and that’s what we did for Jakib Sports. They needed us to produce high-quality short-form content on a huge scale, and that’s exactly what we delivered. We built the systems, we adapted to the demands, and we got it done one short at a time, It wasn’t easy, but who said it was supposed to be?
And that, my friends, is how we scaled from two shorts a day to over 10, under the pressure of tight deadlines and the need for perfection. If you’ve got a challenge, you know where to find us.
