Carlos Pacheco

Born and raised Montreal, I now live in Toronto with my brilliant & beautiful wife Tara and two pugs Ridley & Lizzie. 

I  passionate about new media, specifically the evolution of online media and technology. 

In my career I’ve worked in media and advertising for over 15 years where I wore many hats from assistant media planner to strategist, search engine and social media strategist. Upon leaving the world of advertising I was put in charge of launching and managing most of the Just for Laughs Gags YouTube channels where I headed a team helped grow the brand’s fan base  tenfold to almost  4 million subscribers and over 2 billion worldwide views.

For the past 3 years I’ve been at  Boat Rocker Media as VP of audience growth working on their worldwide media brands and partners.

In my spare time I run a small content strategy agency called Pachwork Strategy where I consult on YouTube Channel Video Content Strategy as well Digital Advertising , I’m YouTube Certified in Audience Growth.

I’m no writer and my first language isn’t English. I keep this blog so that I have an online space to talk about my thoughts and passions, to share my finds.

You can connect with me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google+, LinkedIn and YouTube.
