Real problems, practical fixes

One working concept for local government, plus four in-house tools that run my own media business. Each one started the way a client project would. Client case studies will be added as projects are completed and clients agree to be shown.

Community Information Hub

Problem: Residents can't easily find what their city is building, deciding or meeting about, so they fill the gaps with rumor and social media.
Build: One hub that works like an app on residents' phones: they add it to their home screen, get alerts when agendas and project updates are posted, and tap a map to see what's being built where. Meetings, agendas and projects are organized by topic, fed from official sources and easy for staff to keep current.
Result: A working prototype, ready to adapt for a city, county, chamber or community organization.

For your organization: keep the public informed from one trusted place, and let staff spend less time answering the same questions.

In-house · Workflow

Project Pipeline

Problem: Projects with many steps were tracked across notes, files and memory, so it was hard to see what was stuck or what came next.
Build: A shared pipeline board with stages, a step-by-step checklist for each project, a clear next action and a flag on anything that stalls.
Result: I run my own video production on it: every project has a status and a next step in one place, and nothing sits forgotten.

For your business: track jobs, quotes, service calls or a sales pipeline the same way, adapted to your own stages and steps.

In-house · Analytics

The Scoreboard

Problem: Channel performance was spread across different screens and reports, which made trends, like how many viewers stay past the intro, hard to see.
Build: An analytics scoreboard that pulls the important numbers into one view and charts them over time.
Result: Decisions about what to make next are based on numbers instead of guesses.

For your business: a weekly scorecard of sales, jobs, quotes or margins, without digging through reports.

In-house · Testing

Packaging Lab

Problem: Titles and thumbnails were being decided at the last minute, on gut feel.
Build: A workspace that drafts titles from proven structures, checks each one against what the video actually delivers, and scores title and thumbnail packages.
Result: Packaging is tested before a video goes live instead of decided on gut feel.

For your business: a purpose-built tool for the one task your team repeats every week.

In-house · Website

Not Dead Yet Media

Problem: The channel needed a home base beyond YouTube to explain what it offers people over 50.
Build: A website designed, built and hosted in-house, with its own domain.
Result: The site is live, with a free starter kit that collects email sign-ups, and it's updated in-house as the channel grows.

For your business: a clean, fast website you can actually keep current. Visit ndy-media.com →
