When wildlife TV personality Forrest Galante sat down for his monthly call with YouTube consultant Paddy Galloway, he received some bad news.
No more turtles.
Galante has 2.5 million YouTube subscribers. He’s been producing wildlife programming for more than a decade, including a docuseries on Animal Planet and a show on the History Channel. He owns his own production company. Generally speaking, Galante’s got a good feel for what his audience wants.
But it was Galloway, something of a guru in the still-burgeoning YouTube creator economy, who identified that whenever Galante showed turtles in his videos, viewer engagement dropped. It was consistent and significant.

“Maybe it’s just turtles are more commonplace and they’re kind of slow and they don’t really do much,” Galloway said in an interview. “We noticed three or four videos in a row, when Forrest was showing turtles, the viewers were just kind of disengaged, and they were leaving.”
This is the kind of insight that many of the most popular YouTube creators, including Jimmy Donaldson, known to the world as MrBeast, and sports creator Jesse Riedel, also known as Jesser, have paid Galloway to provide.
As YouTube creatorship cracks open millions, or potentially even billions, of dollars for the most-watched personalities, Galloway has made a name for himself as one of the best of a growing class of YouTube consultants — a bona fide YouTube whisperer.
“I think he’s an absolute genius,” said Galante.

“Super smart guy,” Riedel told CNBC.
“I don’t want to say Paddy has changed my life completely,” said Humphrey Yang, a former financial advisor whose YouTube channel has more than 2 million subscribers. “But he’s definitely helped a lot.”
YouTube’s media dominance
YouTube will showcase many of its top creators on Wednesday in New York City’s Lincoln Center for its annual upfront advertising presentation, which it calls Brandcast. Like YouTube’s influence in modern media, the event has grown in size and prestige every year as YouTube’s viewership share rises.
YouTube makes up 12.7% of all streaming in the U.S., according to Nielsen’s most recent “The Gauge” report. Netflix is second with 8.4%, followed by Disney with 5%.

Sixty-seven million people consider themselves online content creators, according to a 2025 Goldman Sachs report. That number could rise to more than 100 million by 2030, Goldman estimates.
About 10,000 U.S. YouTube channels have more than 1 million subscribers, according to a YouTube spokesperson. For many of these creators, YouTube can be a lucrative full-time job. But to make a business out of the largely free platform, videos need to get consistent clicks — preferably in the millions.
With YouTube’s recommendation algorithm constantly evolving, many creators have been turning to strategists to maintain success on the platform.
“From zero [subscribers] to 1 million, you don’t need it, but from 1 million to 10 million, or 1 million to 100 million, you definitely need a strategist,” Aniket Mishra, a YouTube growth strategist, told CNBC.

In recent years, videos best watched on TV, rather than on mobile devices, have surged in popularity as YouTube has taken over more and more connected-TV viewing, rivaling subscription streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+.
Creators say the Alphabet-owned platform has responded by favoring longer videos, often exceeding 30 minutes. That shift means higher production value and bigger investment from creators. It also means the potential to earn more money.
Since 2021, YouTube has paid out over $100 billion to creators, and an increasing share of that money is flowing to those producing content for bigger screens, YouTube said. The number of channels earning more than $100,000 from TV screens jumped 45% year over year, the company reported.
Regardless, success on the platform remains a simple task of getting viewers through the door, and these strategists maintain that they are the best equipped to optimize a creator’s videos.

“The reason people pay us top dollar is because we have been doing it for the longest, and we have the best success rate,” Galloway said. “Our average increase in views after a year — so, year-on-year after working with us — is 350%.”
The YouTube whisperer
Galloway’s interest in YouTube consulting began out of self-interest. He started posting YouTube videos of his own in 2006, just a year after the service first began, and wanted to figure out why certain videos went viral so his own could gain popularity, he told CNBC.
Within a few years, Galloway’s search for the ingredients of virality became the subject of his videos. He began creating self-dubbed “YouTube Masterclass” videos such as “How Peter McKinnon gained 1 million subscribers in under 1 year” and “Here’s How Mr Beast BLEW UP – How He Grew His YouTube Channel.”

Galloway grew his channel to about 500,000 subscribers, and the videos got Donaldson’s attention. Galloway began working directly for Donaldson, providing him with strategy ideas. Donaldson is now the undisputed king of YouTube with 483 million subscribers.
Galloway worked with Riedel from 2021 through January of this year, encouraging him to change his focus from daily vlogs to bigger concept ideas that pulled in more viewers.
“He was like, ‘You need to make videos that anybody can enjoy,’” Riedel said. “A lot of my videos were personal joke after personal joke. Right in the intro, if you watched it and you didn’t know me or my jokes, you’d be like, ‘What am I watching?’”

After years of plateauing at roughly 3 million subscribers, Riedel saw his subscriber number begin to soar. Today, Riedel is the largest sports-focused creator on YouTube with more than 41 million subscribers.

Galloway’s secrets often center around two simple concepts: headline and thumbnail image.

“We will deliberate a title — just one title — for like 30 minutes,” said Yang, who’s worked with Galloway since early 2022. “Changing a couple of the words in the title can have a huge impact on how the actual video does.”
Galloway has a staff of seven people who analyze what’s working on YouTube and how to create the best content target to perform well on the platform. He also owns three other companies, including one, Upright Media, that helps with the production and editing of videos.
Galloway’s largest clients have daily Slack communication with his team to discuss thumbnails and to run detailed diagnostics of video performance.
What’s the return on investment?
At his peak, Galloway said, he had a waitlist of 5,000 people and was only able to work with about 10 clients at a time.

Galloway typically charges flat fees for his work “starting in the $15,000 a month range” he said, though rates can go “considerably higher” depending on the project. That price gets clients full-time service — “in the weeds with you every day,” he said.

“It was like, ‘Oh my god, we’re paying this big amount of money for this unknown factor, will we ever get a return?” said Galante, of the turtle-light wildlife videos.
Strategist Mishra said he works primarily with business owners who have built YouTube channels around their products or services. He said he charges between $1,500 and $12,000 a month, depending on how much work he takes on, and said the creators who hire him have already figured out the basics on their own and hit a ceiling.
Mishra said his advice is often to study what is already working in a certain niche and replicate it.

“Copy with taste,” he said. “It’s very important that you have some kind of unique angle, but make sure the formatting of the videos, the pacing and everything else is similar to an outlier idea that is already proven in the niche.”
And while these strategists can’t promise guaranteed subscribers or views, they say their value lies in familiarity with what the platform rewards.
“What I do is I promise you knowledge, and hopefully with enough knowledge, growth comes next,” said Mario Joos, who spent nearly three years as retention director for MrBeast. “The algorithm will just reward what people want to watch.”

Though the highest level of advisory services can run into the thousands of dollars, an initial call with a YouTube coach can cost as little as $250, Joos said. He described the next level of service as “consultant” — someone who is providing advice but not actually helping a creator implement it. That’s Joos’ role today, he said.
The final rung is pure strategist — a role Joos had when he was working with MrBeast, he said, and the rung Galloway falls into.
“Now it’s not just like you’re telling the creator to execute on the knowledge. You are applying the knowledge,” said Joos. “You leave notes on videos. You go through the ideation process. And when there’s 100 ideas on the table, you look into them, you think about them, and you may even come up with the ideas. So that’s what a strategist does there. They have expertise.”
YouTube’s evolving trends
For YouTube’s most popular creators, the platform offers some consultant-like services for free, including thumbnail art guidance, guest ideas and suggestions for video introductions, according to Reed Fernandez, a strategic partner manager for YouTube’s top creators since 2021.

Fernandez is one of several hundred strategic partner managers for YouTube around the world who focus on the top 10% of YouTube creators. Fernandez’s specific team works with about 100 creators in the U.S., he said. Some of his clients include Brittany Broski, Dude Perfect and Alix Earle.

Fernandez’s team typically approaches the creators it wants to help, based on perceived growth opportunity on the platform, Fernandez said. That makes the partnership beneficial for both YouTube and the individual creator, boosting overall engagement on the site.

“We’re looking for things like: Do we see them growing a lot year over year? We think they’re a big bet that we should try to put our full force behind to help them succeed on the platform,” said Fernandez.
Beyond consultant services, YouTube also connects some of these creators with speaking events and press junkets to extend reach and boost awareness.
Fernandez’s team can also offer insider tips on monetization, he said. He used the example of a creator whose videos were consistently just under the 8-minute threshold to qualify for mid-roll advertisements. Making their videos just 30 seconds longer, he told the creator, could make a significant difference in their earnings.
But even with YouTube’s internal support, many creators still turn to outside strategists to go deeper on the technical side.

When a viewer clicks on a YouTube video, watches it through, shares it or leaves a comment, YouTube registers that as a positive signal of interest. Videos that consistently generate those responses get surfaced more broadly and pushed onto the homepage, into recommendations and in front of new audiences.
Joos said his expertise sits specifically in retention, understanding not just whether a video performs, but exactly when viewers stop watching and why.
YouTube Studio, the backend dashboard that gives creators detailed statistics on their content, includes a retention chart that tracks audience drop-off. YouTube strategists use that data to inform everything from pacing decisions to keeping the viewer engaged until the end of the video.
Gabriel Leblanc-Picard, co-founder of Upload Strategy and the former head of ideation for MrBeast, said simplicity is the most reliable formula for success on the platform.

“Dim it down to like, if a 6-year-old could understand it,” he said. “People don’t want to watch something that is complicated, even the language that you use.”
During his time at MrBeast, Leblanc-Picard said he filtered through roughly 10,000 ideas, constantly looking for concepts that could expand the channel’s audience. One challenge he was given: Attract more female viewers to a channel whose fanbase he described as mostly “11-year-old boys.”
His answer was to develop a video about being stranded in the woods with an ex-girlfriend.
A video titled “Survive 30 Days Stranded With Your Ex, Win $250,000” was posted in March and has already surpassed 120 million views.

“At the end of the day, you’re making content for people,” Leblanc-Picard said. “The algorithm will reward what people want to watch.”
Castell Howell was formed by Scarlets director Brian Jones on his farm in 1988
Scarlets Rugby has extended a long-standing partnership with one of west Wales’ leading brands Castell Howell.
As part of the renewed agreement leading food wholesaler Castell Howell, which is headquartered in Cross Hands, will continue as the official south stand sponsor, with new branding set to be unveiled in and around the concourses at Parc y Scarlets.
Castell Howell also remains a key kit partner, retaining a prominent position on the Scarlets jersey.
Expanding its role within Parc y Scarlets, Castell Howell, which according to latest accounts published with Companies House regenerated revenues of £230m in 2024, will continue as the primary supplier of food and beverage services across Parc y Scarlets. The company has secured new “pourage partner” rights, overseeing the supply of alcohol throughout the stadium
Castell Howell was formed by Scarlets director Brian Jones on his farm in 1988 and has established itself as a dominant force in the UK foodservice industry.

Castell Howell will work closely with the Scarlets Community Foundation on a range of initiatives, including providing healthy street food samples to children during selected fixtures to promote healthier lifestyle choices among young fans.
Parc y Scarlets will also remain a venue for Castell Howell’s trade shows. The value of the deal sponsorship deal has not been disclosed.
Garan Evans, Scarlets commercial manager, said: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Castell Howell, a company that has been a valued and trusted partner of the Scarlets for many years. Their continued commitment across multiple areas of the club, from matchday experience to community initiatives, highlights the strength of our relationship.

“We are forever grateful to the ongoing support of Brian, Martin and the family, and by reinforcing our partnership it not only enhances what we can offer our supporters at Parc y Scarlets, but also allows us to work together on community projects that benefit people across west Wales.”
Martin Jones, Castell Howell director of transport operations, said: “As a Welsh business, we fully recognise the vital role that Scarlets Rugby and local grassroots clubs play in developing the next generation of players – something we are genuinely passionate about supporting.
“Being a proud family business, our commitment goes far beyond the playing field. With matches played at Parc y Scarlets, we’re delighted to support not only the team but also the many local businesses we supply across the region. Supporters coming to cheer on the Scarlets also bring a welcome boost to neighbouring hospitality and retail businesses, helping to add real vibrancy to the local community.
“Continuing as the primary supplier of food and beverage services, along with securing the new ‘pourage partner’ rights, is tremendous news for the Welsh supply chain. It also creates further opportunity to expand the Welsh produce range already supplied throughout the stadium, strengthening our shared commitment to supporting local producers and showcasing the very best of Wales.

“For us, the vision remains clear – to ensure that everyone, from rugby supporters to local businesses and suppliers, benefits from our involvement. Making a positive difference to the communities we care deeply about is at the heart of who we are as a family business.”
The WRU is seeking to reduce the number of rugby regions from four to three at end of the 2027-28 season. It said it will update plans on how this will be achieved this summer. If there is no merger, a competitive bidding process for a west Wales licence could be fought over by the Scarlets and Y11 Sport and Media owned the Ospreys. A bid by Y11 to acquire Cardiff Rugby out of WRU ownership was abandoned last year.
The Scarlets and the Ospreys are now looking to sign off on an improved funding deal with the union through Professional Rugby Agreement 2025. They had previously declined to sign up raising concerns over what was perceived as union over reach by acquiring Cardiff out of administration and taking on the liabilities of having to fund the club’s trading losses.

Many mothers also express preference for items supporting their own well-being rather than traditional flowers or chocolate, though those classics still hold strong when paired with personalized notes.
Shopping Tips for a Meaningful Mother’s Day
Start early to avoid shipping delays on personalized items. Consider your mother’s specific interests and current life stage — a new grandmother may appreciate different gifts than a working mom with young children. Budget-friendly options exist across all categories, and many brands offer flexible payment plans or gift cards for last-minute shoppers.
Most importantly, pair any gift with a heartfelt handwritten note. In an increasingly digital world, the personal touch remains the most valued element of any Mother’s Day present.
This year’s gift landscape offers more thoughtful, useful and memorable options than ever before. Whether choosing high-tech wellness tools, sustainable fashion or unforgettable experiences, the best gifts celebrate the unique role each mother plays while supporting her individual journey through life.

As families prepare for May 10, these ideas provide a strong starting point for expressing gratitude in ways that truly resonate in 2026.
NEW YORK — Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG) remains a cornerstone holding for income-focused investors in 2026, offering consistent dividend growth and defensive qualities in an uncertain economy, but slower organic sales growth and elevated valuations are prompting some analysts to recommend trimming positions or waiting for a better entry point. With shares trading near all-time highs, the question of whether to buy or sell Procter & Gamble stock this year depends heavily on an investor’s time horizon, risk tolerance and outlook for consumer staples giants.
P&G has delivered reliable performance through economic cycles thanks to its portfolio of essential everyday brands including Tide, Pampers, Gillette, Bounty, Crest and Head & Shoulders. The company has increased its dividend for 69 consecutive years, making it a Dividend King with a current yield around 2.4%. In the first half of 2026, PG shares have returned roughly 11%, slightly lagging the broader S&P 500 but providing stability during periods of market volatility.
First-quarter 2026 results showed organic sales growth of 3%, in line with company guidance but below some investor expectations. Pricing power helped offset volume softness in certain categories, particularly in North America where consumers remain price-sensitive. CEO Jon Moeller highlighted continued strength in health care and beauty segments while noting challenges in fabric and home care due to competitive pressures and retailer inventory management.
Analysts at firms like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley maintain mostly positive outlooks. Goldman rates PG as Buy with a $178 target, citing its unmatched brand strength and ability to navigate inflation and supply chain issues. Morgan Stanley holds a Hold rating, arguing that while the company is a high-quality business, current valuations leave limited upside in the near term. The consensus price target sits around $165–$170, suggesting modest single-digit upside from current levels.

Strong Fundamentals Support Long-Term Ownership
Procter & Gamble benefits from several enduring advantages. Its diversified global portfolio spans beauty, grooming, health care, fabric care and baby care, reducing reliance on any single category. International markets, particularly emerging economies, continue to offer growth potential as rising middle classes adopt premium branded products. The company’s focus on innovation — such as new sustainability initiatives and premium product lines — helps maintain pricing power and customer loyalty.
P&G’s balance sheet remains fortress-like with strong free cash flow generation supporting both dividends and share repurchases. The company returned more than $15 billion to shareholders in the trailing 12 months through dividends and buybacks. This capital return discipline appeals to retirement accounts and conservative investors seeking predictable income streams.
Defensive characteristics also shine during economic uncertainty. Consumer staples demand remains relatively stable even in slowdowns, as people continue purchasing toiletries, detergents and diapers. This resilience has helped PG outperform during previous recessions and periods of high inflation.
Challenges and Reasons for Caution
Despite its strengths, several factors give pause to growth-oriented investors. Organic sales growth has moderated to the low-to-mid single digits after stronger post-pandemic gains. Intense competition from private-label brands and nimble challengers in categories like oral care and personal grooming has pressured market share in some segments. Rising input costs and the need for continued marketing investment have also compressed margins at times.

Valuation remains a key concern. PG trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple in the mid-20s, a premium to historical averages and many consumer staples peers. This leaves limited margin of safety if economic conditions deteriorate or if the company misses earnings expectations. Some analysts argue that slower long-term growth prospects — projected around 4-5% annually — do not fully justify the current multiple.
Another risk involves changing consumer preferences toward natural and sustainable products. While P&G has invested heavily in this area, execution challenges and higher costs could weigh on results. Regulatory scrutiny on pricing, environmental impact and advertising practices also represents a background risk for large consumer goods companies.
Buy Case: Stability and Income in Uncertain Times
Investors considering buying PG stock in 2026 point to its role as a defensive anchor in diversified portfolios. In an environment of geopolitical tensions, potential recession risks and volatile equity markets, P&G’s predictable cash flows and growing dividend provide ballast. The stock has historically performed well during periods of market stress, offering downside protection while still participating in broader rallies.
Long-term compounding through reinvested dividends has created substantial wealth for patient shareholders. Those with a 5-10 year horizon may view current levels as reasonable for accumulating a high-quality business with global scale and pricing power. Upcoming product launches in premium segments and continued emerging market expansion could drive incremental growth.
Advertisement
Sell Case: Limited Upside and Better Opportunities Elsewhere
Those recommending selling or underweighting PG argue that better risk-reward opportunities exist elsewhere. Technology, healthcare and select industrial stocks offer higher growth potential at comparable or lower valuations. With PG trading at a premium, any slowdown in consumer spending or margin pressure could lead to multiple contraction and disappointing returns.
Investors who bought at lower levels in previous years may consider trimming positions to lock in gains and reallocate capital toward faster-growing sectors. Short-term traders might wait for a pullback closer to the 200-day moving average before re-entering.
Analyst Consensus and Market Sentiment
Wall Street’s overall stance leans Hold to Buy. The average rating from 18 analysts tracked by major platforms is Moderate Buy, with price targets implying limited but positive upside. Institutional ownership remains high, reflecting confidence in the company’s long-term prospects. However, activist investor attention has been minimal, suggesting the market views P&G as a steady compounder rather than a turnaround story.
Technical analysis shows PG in a long-term uptrend but approaching resistance levels. A break above recent highs could signal continued momentum, while failure to hold key support might trigger profit-taking.

Investment Considerations for 2026
For dividend growth investors, Procter & Gamble remains attractive. The company’s commitment to annual dividend increases, combined with a reasonable payout ratio, supports continued income growth. Retirement portfolios and income funds often include PG as a core holding for stability.
Growth investors may find the stock less compelling unless valuations compress or the company demonstrates accelerated top-line growth. Those building diversified portfolios might consider pairing PG with higher-growth consumer names or using it as a defensive satellite position.
Risk management remains important. While P&G is a high-quality business, no stock is immune to market downturns or company-specific challenges. Position sizing, regular monitoring of fundamentals and maintaining a long-term perspective are key to successful investment in consumer staples.
Final Outlook
Procter & Gamble stock in 2026 offers a classic choice between stability and growth potential. For conservative investors seeking reliable dividends and downside protection, PG deserves consideration as a core holding. For those chasing higher returns in a dynamic market, other sectors may provide more compelling opportunities.

The company’s strong brand portfolio, global reach and disciplined capital allocation support a positive long-term view. However, elevated valuations and moderating growth rates suggest patience may be rewarded for new buyers. Whether you ultimately decide to buy, hold or sell Procter & Gamble stock should align with your individual financial goals, risk tolerance and portfolio construction strategy.
As always, investors should conduct thorough due diligence and consider consulting a financial advisor before making investment decisions. The consumer staples sector will continue playing a vital role in portfolios, and Procter & Gamble remains one of its most respected leaders.
