How a $500 Ryan George Clipping Campaign Got 479K Views

Eric Lee
CEO and Founder of Ssemble
A $500 Clip Rewards campaign built around Ryan George's YouTube videos delivered 479,080 verified views from 128 clippers in 14 days. It was the same customer's second campaign: a $100 test in July had delivered 95,470 views in under five days.
Who ran this campaign: it was set up and paid for by a Ssemble customer. Ssemble has no affiliation with Ryan George, and this post doesn't imply his involvement or endorsement. We're sharing it because the numbers show what clipping does for comedy sketches.
From a $100 test to $500
- July 11: $100 at $1 per 1,000 views. It delivered 95,470 views in under five days.
- August 28: the same customer came back with $500 at the same price, five times the budget.
- Result: about five times the views, 479,080 against 95,470.
The setup
- Budget: $500 at $1 per 1,000 views, so the campaign was built to deliver 500,000 views.
- Source: Ryan George's YouTube channel. Clippers could cut moments from any of his sketches.
- Rules: no straight re-uploads of a full sketch, and every post had to mention Ryan George or #RyanGeorge.
- Who could join: clippers in any country.
- Launch: August 28, 2026. The first clip was submitted 54 minutes after launch.
- Finish: the campaign closed on September 11, after 14 days.
