How Wapi Bricks Grew Faster in 6 Weeks Than in 4 Years

A complete channel transformation combining design, SEO, and storytelling.

Wapi Bricks is a channel built around the passion for LEGO. From reselling rare sets to sharing the stories behind them, the creator had been uploading consistently but wasn’t seeing the growth they deserved. The challenge was clear: more reach, more engagement, and a stronger channel presence.

That’s where VidCatalyst stepped in with a complete growth strategy that combined design and optimization.

The Challenge

Before working with us
Wapi Bricks faced a few roadblocks

When we start with Wapi Bricks, the channel already had a strong foundation but wasn’t getting the visibility it deserved, and the overall presentation didn’t reflect the quality of the content.

Growth was slow even with consistent uploads
Thumbnails lacked visual impact, leading to lower click-through rates
Channel branding looked outdated and didn’t reflect the quality of the content
Video metadata was not fully optimized for discoverability

Our Approach

We focused on two key areas

Channel Transformation

We refreshed the entire channel appearance. A new banner gave the channel a professional, polished identity. We designed a new thumbnail style that grabs attention, uses curiosity and emotional hooks, and stays visually consistent. The result was a channel that looks trustworthy and ready for growth.

SEO & Optimization

We carried out keyword research and optimized titles, descriptions, tags. We added related videos to every video at the right timestamps. We also added keyword-focused chapters and improved video structure to help YouTube recommend the content to the right audience.

The Results

In just 6 weeks, the channel achieved
what had previously taken years.

Views

The last 6 weeks before working with us, the channel brought in around 93,000 views. During our first six weeks, views climbed to 209,000, a 124% increase.

Watch Time

Audiences spent more time watching than ever before. Total watch time grew from 12,500 hours in June to nearly 26,000 hours in July–August, a 107% increase.

Impressions

The channel’s reach exploded, with impressions rising from 1.1 million to 2.8 million, a 144% jump in visibility.

Subscribers

The rate of subscriber gains increased by 105.8%, bringing in 1,685 new subscribers during the period.
