Spent two decades building products at YouTube, Amazon, and Google before starting Oyana to help creators grow.
About
Every creator has a story to tell. Oyana helps you tell it so everyone listens.
We built Oyana because creators and agencies told us the same thing: they wish they knew why viewers left, not just the numbers.
We Believe
In our name Oyana, which means to inspire and uplift, we aim to be the editor-coach working alongside creators and agencies.
Retention Is A Signal
Retention isn't a mystery; it's a signal. Every drop, every skip, every replay tells you something about what your audience felt in that moment. We get to know you and, over time, what resonates with your audience.
Human Support Matters
Not everything has to be AI and there's value in human interaction. Oyana Circle, your concierge, is enabled with AI tools to further help you.
