We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Brandon Moreno. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Brandon below.

Brandon, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Alright – so having the idea is one thing, but going from idea to execution is where countless people drop the ball. Can you talk to us about your journey from idea to execution?

I was 15 when I first realized that building a personal brand could help me escape the feeling of being stuck. It wasn’t a sudden idea, more like something that slowly grew in my mind. I saw people on YouTube and Twitter sharing their work and building followings. They weren’t just sharing things, they were creating identities, telling stories, and even making money from it.

The first step was just starting. I didn’t know exactly what I was doing, but I knew I had to post something that felt real and true to me. So, I started posting my editing work on Twitter instead of Instagram. At first, I wasn’t sure if anyone would care about what I posted. But then, companies started reaching out to me to work with them. That first bit of attention gave me the confidence to keep going.

The next challenge was turning this into something bigger. I spent hours researching how to grow on social media and how people made money from it. I learned about things like analytics, hashtags, and when to post.

But even though I was learning a lot, I needed a plan. I started setting aside specific times each day to create content, research, and interact with people. That routine made me stay consistent. Eventually, I reached out to small businesses and creators, offering to help them with their social media in exchange for experience and exposure. This built my portfolio and gave me real world experience.

The next year was tough. I had to learn things like taxes, contracts, and how to talk to clients. I made mistakes, but I kept going. As I got better, I started helping more people and growing my brand. By the time my business really took off, I was offering more than just posts, I was helping people build their businesses through storytelling.

It took a lot of time, hard work, and testing, but the key to success was simple: start even if you’re not sure, keep learning, and adapt as you go. Even though it wasn’t easy, I built something I was proud of, and now it’s my career. It all started with just taking that first step.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I got into content creation because I’ve always loved connecting with people. I started by just experimenting, posting gaming clips, trying out edits, messing around with commentary, and over time, I realized this wasn’t just a hobby. It was something I wanted to pursue seriously. I began studying what made content resonate, and now I focus on creating videos that are not only fun but also feel personal and purposeful.

What I bring to the table is a mix of creative direction, editing, storytelling, and a unique perspective that focuses on communication and energy.
I think what sets me apart is the way I approach content. I’m not just here to entertain, I want to build a connection. I’m not chasing trends just for the sake of it. I care about making moments that stick with people, that make them laugh, think, or feel like they’re part of something.

I’m most proud of how far I’ve come by staying true to myself and building a brand that reflects that. I’ve worked hard to develop my voice and style, and seeing people genuinely enjoy what I make is the most rewarding part of it all.

How did you build your audience on social media?

Honestly, I never had some huge plan starting out. I would just post my editing work online because I liked doing it. I wasn’t trying to chase clout or anything. I just wanted to get better and share what I was making. Eventually, people started noticing. That shift didn’t happen overnight, though.

There were a lot of moments where it felt like no one was really watching or caring, but I kept going anyway. I kept posting, kept improving, even when it felt kind of pointless. That consistency is what ended up opening doors. Looking back, I think just showing up and putting in the work when there was no guarantee of anything.

Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

One of the biggest things I wish I knew earlier is just how much you can learn for free on YouTube. Literally everything you need to get started with video editing is out there tutorials, breakdowns, behind-the-scenes workflows from pros, even full project files sometimes.

When I started, I was kind of figuring things out on my own, just experimenting. But if I had really dug into YouTube earlier and been more intentional with what I searched for, I probably would’ve leveled up way faster. Whether it’s learning transitions, color grading, sound design, or how to tell a better story through cuts, it’s all on there. You just have to be willing to watch, try, fail, and repeat.

So yeah, I’d say YouTube is the resource I slept on at first, and now it’s the first thing I recommend to anyone trying to get into editing.
