What can your editor do?

Every editor is trained on our content methodology, our software, and our standards in Editor School. What they produce for you comes down to where your business needs content. Most placements spend their time across some mix of these.

Social & Short-Form

Reels, Shorts, TikToks, captions, hooks, B-roll. With Upperhand AI, your editor produces 100+ pieces of social content per month.

Ad Creative

Short-form ad creative, hook variants, A/B testing cuts. Built for paid social testing volume without burning your media buyer's time.

YouTube & Long-Form Video

Full episode pipelines for YouTube channels and podcasts. Pacing, retention edits, thumbnails, end screens.

Podcast & Audio

Audio cleanup, episode cuts, show notes, audiogram clips, and chapter markers. Ready to publish.

VSL & Sales Video

Long-form sales videos and direct response cuts. Conversion-focused pacing built off your sales letter, not on top of it.

Captions, Hooks & Posting

Caption writing, hook iteration, thread drafting, plus scheduling and posting through Upperhand Social. End to end.

One placed editor handles all of the above. See how it works.

One editor. One system. A full content team's output.

If you want your editor to run the full Upperhand content machine, here's the math. 4 hours of your time becomes 100+ pieces of brand-consistent content across every platform you publish on. Built for high-ticket businesses where content fills the gap between paid ads and signed clients.

What you provide
  • Voice memos. Drop ideas whenever they hit.
  • Script reviews. Your editor uses Upperhand AI to draft scripts from your voice memos. You review and approve.
  • A filming day. Once a month, using prompts we send.
  • Quick approvals. Yes/no on finished content before it goes live.
All in: about 4 hours of your time a month.
What you get every month
  • Long-form videos. For your YouTube channel and podcast.
  • Short-form clips. Reels, Shorts, TikToks pulled from the long-form.
  • Static posts. Carousels, quote posts, and image content for IG and LinkedIn.
  • Captions and scheduling. Every post written, every post posted, every platform.
100+ pieces of content. Every month.

Plug your editor into your existing process.

Not every business wants the full content machine. Your editor can slot into your existing workflow and own a specific area instead. Here's a few of the ways they show up.

YouTube

Long-form edits, retention pacing, thumbnails, end screens. Your channel, on a schedule.

Podcast editing

Audio cleanup, episode cuts, show notes, audiogram clips for promotion.

Ad creative iterations

Short-form ad variants, hooks, A/B test cuts. Built for paid social testing volume.

VSL editing

Long-form sales videos, conversion-focused pacing, direct response storytelling.

Captions & scheduling

Caption writing, post scheduling, brand-voice consistency across platforms.

One-off projects

Course videos, launch promos, sales letters. Whatever's on your plate this quarter.

What you get with every placement.

Pre-vetted, pre-trained editors. Lifetime replacement. A 45-day onboarding done with you, not on you.

01

Placed in 7–10 Days

From intake call to placed editor in under two weeks. We source and vet, you meet finalists and pick.

02

Lifetime Replacement Guarantee

If your editor stops being a fit, for any reason at any time, we replace them at no cost. No questions.

03

Vetted & Trained Before You Meet Them

Every editor is fully vetted and trained on Upperhand AI before they're ever placed. You're never paying us to train them on the basics.

04

A recruiting funnel, always running.

We don't write a custom job description for every client. We run a hiring funnel that's always sourcing and vetting. When you need an editor, the pool is already there.

05

Tools you can plug into, if you want them.

Your editor can run inside our full system — workflow, approval software, Upperhand AI for content production. Or they can plug into your existing process. You decide.

06

Trained on the work before they touch yours.

Editor School teaches every applicant how to think about content as a sales system, not just how to cut clips. Weeks of real client scenarios, our editing standards, and feedback loops, before they're placed. Your editor isn't learning on the job. They're applying what they've already learned.

07

Dedicated, Full-Time

Your editor is yours. Full-time, embedded in your team, working only on your business.

08

500+ Editors Placed

Track record, not theory. We've been doing this long enough to know what makes a placement stick.

09

Built for high-ticket businesses.

Content for $5K–$30K offers isn't about views. It's about trust. We're built for businesses where content closes the gap between paid ads and signed clients.

How it works.

Placed in 7–10 days. 45 days alongside you after.

01

Strategy Call

In 30 minutes, you brief us on your business, your brand, and what you need an editor doing each day. From there, we go to work matching the right editor from our pre-vetted pool to your specific brief. You never see a resume.

02

We source your editor

Within three business days of our call, you'll have a candidate in your inbox who's already cleared Editor School, our screening process, and our methodology training. The hiring work happened before you ever booked the call. You're not training someone. You're meeting someone we've already trained.

03

The interview

A culture-fit call between you and your editor. You're checking chemistry, communication, working style. If something feels off, we send another from the pool.

04

The first 45 days

Our team coaches your editor weekly while they learn your brand. You give feedback, we make sure it lands. If your editor ever isn't the right fit, we replace them at no cost.

Most placements hire the resume. We hire the person.

A portfolio shows you their best work. An interview shows you their best self. Neither shows how they execute under deadline, take feedback, or fit a team. We test for all of that before they ever reach you.

1
We watch how they work, not just how they pitch.
By the time someone reaches our review, they've already shown us how they communicate, how they take instruction, and how they manage their own timeline. The resume isn't part of the equation.
2
Skill is the floor. Fit is the bar.
Every applicant edits a real video. We're not just checking if it's good. We're watching what they ask, when they reply, how they handle direction. The portfolio shows their best work. We need to see their normal work.
3
They've already failed (and recovered) before they reach you.
Editor School puts every applicant in real scenarios with deadlines, real feedback, and real pressure. We see who takes notes and who gets defensive. Who self-manages and who needs hand-holding. So you don't find out the hard way in month two.
4
Less than 3% reach your team.
Out of 800+ applicants a month, fewer than 3% land in the Placement Pool. That's the filter you'd spend 90 days running yourself, hoping to land one. We've already done it.
5
We stay alongside you for the first 45 days.
Placement isn't the finish line. It's the start. You stay in the driver's seat. Your editor gets weekly coaching from our team, and we're in your Slack to make sure your feedback actually changes the work, not just sits in a thread.

Real placements. Real results.

A few of the founders running content through Upperhand.

"Upperhand Creative has generated our business over a million dollars in new revenue just in the last 9 months. Over 50% of the clients that come into our gym now and sign up for personal training have seen our content."

David Lawrence
Founder, MECA Performance. $500K wasted on in-house marketing before us.

"I can't tell you the hundreds of thousands of dollars I spent on marketing companies that got nothing. The phone never rang. Nobody ever came in. Upperhand has been one of the best decisions across the board that I've ever made."

"All of my friends are in the creative space and everyone is like, who is doing this for you? It looks so good. I feel very taken care of."

Founder, Studio Singer Intensive

"It has been a total game changer. The biggest thing I get from people all the time is, you're always on my social media feed. I see your videos all over the place."

"We've doubled our YouTube subscribers in the past 90 days. We've had five times more views than throughout the lifetime of our channel previously. We are officially generating meetings from our YouTube content."

"It's amazing when people start calling me. Several calls a week, asking me questions about saunas, and then they purchase products from me. That was probably the best decision I ever did during this journey of 20 months."

Featured case study

Placed editor

Before Upperhand, Quazi wasn't producing short-form at all. We placed an editor who built his short-form pipeline directly off the YouTube content he was already making. His top short jumped from 10K views to 160K. He added 200,000 subscribers in 8 months without changing what he films.

Questions, answered.

How fast can I have a placed editor? +
You'll have a vetted shortlist within a few days of your onboarding call. Most clients have an editor placed within 7–10 days, then we onboard them with you for the next 45 days into your specific brand and systems.
What happens if my editor doesn't work out? +
Lifetime replacement, no extra cost. If they ever stop being a fit, we re-source and re-place at no charge. No contract gymnastics, no awkward exits.
Is the editor full-time and dedicated? +
Yes. Your editor is full-time, embedded in your team, and only working on your business. They show up to your standups, learn your brand, and produce alongside you.
How is this different from Upwork? +
Upwork is a marketplace. You sift, vet, train, and manage. Upperhand is a placement service. We do the sourcing and vetting, you get a full-time dedicated editor with a guarantee. It's the difference between buying a CRM seat and hiring a sales rep.
Where are your editors based? +
We source globally and prioritize editors who can work in your time zone. All placements are full-time and fluent in English.
What roles do you place? +
Video editors, ad creative editors, social/short-form editors, long-form/YouTube editors, VSL editors, and multi-format content editors. If you have a specific scope, just ask on the intake call.
Do I need to be a coach or agency? +
No. We place editors for any business actively producing content and hiring an editor. Coaches, agencies, B2B SaaS, expert brands, boutique service businesses, and more.
How does pricing work? +
We'll walk you through pricing on your call. Tiers vary based on how many editors you need and what level of support fits. We'll match you to the right one.

Get your hours back. Get your content out.

Skip the hiring grind. We'll match you with a pre-trained editor in 7–10 days.
