Client: E-commerce brand, Europe ยท NDA

The problem

A competitor-ordered video with false claims sat at #1 in YouTube search for the brand's name and was directly hurting sales.

What we did

Escalated through YouTube's review channels with a documented case until the video and all of its re-uploads were taken down.
Built a protective layer: brand-owned channels and optimized videos pushed into search and recommendations.

Result

The video attack eliminated within 48 hours.
The entire top-5 of YouTube search for the brand name now shows the client's own content.
