YouTube multichannel network Collective Digital Studio has decided to up its talent roster, adding seven new creators to its line-up of video producing. With a total of nearly 18 million new subscribers amongst them and over 100 million monthly views, it’s easy to see why they would be a big draw.
The seven superstars are as follows, and in no particular order:
-Lilly Singh, known on YouTube under her Superwoman name, brings three to four million subscribers through her channel
-FPS Russia, a firearms expert who draws more than five million subscribers
-Mamrie Hart, the digital filmmaker of Camp Taokota and host of the show You Deserve a Drink, with more than 500,000 subscribers
-Beauty expert Lauren Curtis, who brings two million subscribers to the table
-Comedy channel Explosm Entertainment, with 3.2 million subscribers along with episodes of Cyanide & Happiness
-Singer/songwriter Madilyn Bailey, with 1.5 million subscribers
-Sam Pepper, a prankster who has since drawn 2.2 million subscribers, following his starring stint on Big Brother UK season 11
“These creators represent a wide array of verticals, some of which are the fastest growing on YouTube and reflect our commitment to attracting the best talent,” said CDS president Dan Weinstein. “Each of these channels has a unique style and brand that embraces youth culture and aligns perfectly with our MCN. We look forward to nurturing and growing these creators both online and across platforms.”
This follows CDS’ other collaborations, including working alongside Canadian cooking show Epic Meal Time, as well as visual effects expert Freddie Wong and comedian Hannah Hart. No doubt this additional roster will help boost the view count for CDS’ channel line-up, and maybe even attract some new talent down the road as well.
