About Artem Kordikov, DTC video editor
I’m a video editor and former full-cycle video producer. I started by running the whole pipeline myself: trend research, scripting, filming, editing and publishing. That is why I edit with the result in mind. I think about the hook, the retention curve and what the viewer does next, not only how the video looks.
Today I focus on editing for DTC and B2C brands: paid social ads for Meta and TikTok, creator and talking-head videos, AI-generated video and YouTube content. I work with founders, performance marketers and creative strategists, and I’m comfortable turning a short brief into several testable versions.

How we work together
- Brief. You send the product, audience, goal and raw footage or script.
- Hook-first edit. I build the first seconds first, then cut the rest for pacing and retention.
- Variations. I deliver extra hooks and formats so you can test what works.
- Revisions and delivery. I refine until it fits your brand, with a full refund if you are not happy.

Frequently asked questions
What does a DTC video editor do?
A DTC video editor turns raw footage, creator clips and product shots into video ads for direct-to-consumer brands. The job is built around the first seconds (the hook), pacing, captions, sound and testing variations, so ads hold attention and drive sales on Meta, TikTok and YouTube.
Who do you work with?
I work with DTC and B2C brands, performance marketers, creative strategists and founders. Recent work includes AI video ads for Meta, AI music videos, CEO-led talking-head videos with AI B-roll, and organic plus paid content.
Do you edit AI-generated video?
Yes. I edit AI video ads and AI-generated content, and I create AI B-roll to support talking-head videos, so brands need fewer stock clips and extra shoots.
Can you make hook variations for testing?
Yes. I cut several hooks for the same video so you can test them in Meta and TikTok and keep the winner. Examples are in my article on video ad hooks.
How do we start, and what if I am not happy?
Message me on WhatsApp or book a call, and send a short brief: product, audience and goal. If you are not happy with the result, you get a full refund, no questions asked.
