Jon Tam: from 7,500 to 143K subscribers.

Jon is an Oxford-trained sociologist who explains Asia with data. He writes and records. As his video editor, we turn each script into a 20-minute documentary: animated data, sourced B-roll, sound and music.

Whole-channel totals, not only the videos we edited. Today’s figures read from youtube.com/@DrJonathanTam on 23 Oct 2026. Jon publishes about once a week; three of those videos were edited by us.

The work

Three documentaries, built from data.

Each one is a 20-minute argument with numbers on screen. Press play.

Video 1 · Apr 2026

Cancel Your Japan Trip This Christmas.

Seven acts on why Japan turned on tourism: the currency trap, anime pilgrimages and tourist gentrification, each one charted.

Why Chinese Culture Will Never Survive

56 ethnic groups, 300 languages, one with fewer than 100 speakers left. A sociology framework made visual, chapter by chapter.

How China Conquered America

Our third edit, with a sponsor read built in. Jon approved the final cut in August and posted his Clutch review the same week.

How it went

One writer, one editing team.

01 · The brief

He writes. We do everything else.

Jon’s videos are 20-minute talking-head documentaries. Each one needs data-heavy motion graphics, sourced B-roll, sound effects and background music.

His part is the script and the recording. Ours is the rest, from first assembly to the final export.

02 · The result

The right editor, and a review to prove it.

The Japan video went live the day we delivered the final cut. It passed 200,000 views in its first month and has 535K today.

Two more documentaries followed, each through the same review rounds. After the third, Jon wrote a five-star review on Clutch.

“They let me choose from possible candidates during onboarding and we landed on the right guy.”
Dr. Jonathan Tam, on Clutch

What every video gets

Built for data-heavy storytelling.

Animated data

Every statistic becomes a chart, map or counter, so the argument reads on screen without a wall of text.

Sourced, accurate B-roll

Footage checked against the script for place, culture and currency. The right country, every time.

Sound and music

Background score, sound effects and levelled dialogue, mixed for a 20-minute watch.

A written handbook

Every note Jon gives goes into his channel's style guide, so it never has to be given twice.

Sponsor reads

Sponsor integrations placed and cut to Jon's script, without breaking the flow of the story.

Review in Frame.io

Notes are left on the frame, answered in writing, and tracked round by round until Jon approves.

Online review · Clutch · Aug 2026

“Everything is written in black and white with clear contingencies. There are no gimmicks.”

Increditors has edited 20-minute talking-head videos that require data-heavy motion graphics and sourcing B-roll, along with sound effects and background music. The team has handled everything from start to finish; I only do the scripting and recording. The first video got 200,000+ views in a month. They let me choose from possible candidates during onboarding and we landed on the right guy.
