Content Celebrating Recycling, Gardening, and Upcycling Drives Viewer Growth at Leading Global Digital Studio

TheSoul Publishing's green focused content has generated more than one billion views

NEW YORK, April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With Earth Day 2022 upon us, leading global digital content studio TheSoul Publishing is spotlighting the success of its recycling, gardening and upcycling content. Not only have brands like 5-Minute Recycle and 5-Minute Green helped the studio generate more than one billion views around its green themed content in 2021, but they have also provided inspiration for reusing materials beyond their original purpose both in the name of creativity, and to be smarter about using limited resources.

More specifically, 5-Minute Recycle boasts more than twenty million subscribers on TikTok and YouTube. Following the popularity of green related content on their flagship crafts brand, 5-Minute Crafts, TheSoul created 5-Minute Recycle to lean into the hugely popular trend on social media, enabling viewers to find cool and creative ways to reuse items in their homes. The 5-Minute Recycle TikTok page currently has more than 750 million views since launch.

In addition, 5-Minute Green was launched as part of a TikTok's Instructive Accelerator Program (IAP), an initiative designed to generate instructive and informative videos from a select group of 25 publishers. The channel provides viewers with instructions for gardening and caring for plants and has amassed more than 800 thousand followers and nearly 100M views since launch. Also, TheSoul Publishing's planet related content is being featured on YouTube Kids' special "Earth" section throughout the month of April. These examples are just a part of the studio's incredible catalog of green content across all audiences. 

"This type of content is really driving viewership growth at TheSoul Publishing. Our creative team loves the challenge of creating videos that both stimulate and entertain us at the same time. If the content inspires young people to consider changing some of their habits it's an incredible bonus" said Michael Boccacino, TheSoul Publishing's Director of Content Partnerships.
