A Human-First Media Company
You've probably read this on the homepage as well. This is our slogan - and it means a lot to us.
In a world where ever more people rush to AI and automation, we want to keep the soul of content creation alive.
We strongly believe, content should be created - not generated. It's called content creation, after all. This does not mean, that we're opposed to progress and can't appreciate the usefulness of some of these new tools that we have now available, but it does mean that, wherever creative work or decisions are need, we'll always rely on humans, instead of soulless machines. We don't want a dead internet, so you'll never hear an AI-voice on our channels, and if a translation sounds weird or an edit seems not quite perfect - a human made that mistake.
Foundation / The Idea
Hi, I'm Eric, founder of Eckstein Media. Even though I'm German, living in the city of Magdeburg, I've always watched a few English-speaking YouTubers. Over time, the almighty algorithm showed me more and more English content until I completely entered the English-speaking YouTube and media world. This made it sometimes hard to share interesting content with friends, because even though most Germans speak English, a lot of them prefer to watch content in German and even refuse to watch English stuff. I thought:
"Hey - I like these videos, I know, other people would like them as well, if they were available in German..." - and so Eckstein Media was born.
Our Approach
There is a German word: "Rundumsorglospaket", which nicely describes our approach to the service we offer. You could translate it as something like “full-service package”, but it means something more than that. Included in its meaning, is the fact, that you don't have to worry about anything - and this is what we want for our partners. We take care of everything, which not only means translating the videos, it also means replying to comments, building a community and taking care of all aspects of management. But in addition to handling all these aspects, our partners also never have to worry about the quality of work, they are more or less putting their name behind, even if it is for a different audience. We treat every channel as if it were our own, because we want them to be successful. You can rest assured, your creative work, that you poured many hours into, is in good hands.
A Strong Network
Over the years, we have built a strong network in multiple areas that we and our partners can benefit from a lot. We have a few established German YouTube channels in multiple niches, so that every new channel we launch can be supported by shoutouts from these channels. This gives new channels a head start, that allows for a quick route to monetization and organic growth. We also have great relationships with brands and multiple brand agencies, giving us the opportunity to get lucrative sponsorship deals for our channels, sometimes even when they're still quite small. With them and some of our other associates, we might even be able to help you with projects on your original channel.
