Mark Santos is the founder of Mark Studios, a video editing studio, though he didn't plan to start one. He started editing because he cared about making great content, and once he got good at it, people kept coming back for more.
“For me it's always been about the craft — making content that genuinely resonates, and helping others do the same.”
He launched his YouTube channel in April 2011, at age 10, and has been making videos ever since. While he was studying Computer Science at the University of South Florida, the pandemic hit, and like a lot of students he suddenly had time. He created a Fiverr account to help others with their content, and quickly discovered a passion for turning people's ideas into visuals they actually loved watching.
That's how Mark Studios began. Today it's a full-service creative studio trusted by 4,500+ clients across industries: short-form content, branded visuals, motion graphics, long-form storytelling, launch assets and ads.
Along the way Mark Studios has delivered 8,000+ video projects and earned 4,500+ reviews, generating 100M+ views for clients. Mark passed $1M+ in Fiverr orders, built a YouTube channel past 200K subscribers and 10M+ views, and rang the New York Stock Exchange Opening Bell with Fiverr on February 19, 2025.
