Unveiling the Past, Shaping The Future: a Journey with Morgan Ross

May 08, 2024

In episode four of the Content Creator Society podcast, hosts Bonar Bulger and David Ross are joined by Morgan Ross (no relation to David), a content creator known for his work on the Old Toronto Series and Old Canada Series. These online platforms focus on curating historical content and producing mini-documentaries, often involving sponsored projects that allow Morgan to maintain creative control while promoting complementary products.

Morgan shares his journey from being a musician to pursuing graduate school in Canadian history and eventually starting the Old Toronto Series as a hobby. This led to significant growth on social media platforms, especially Facebook, where his content has attracted over a million followers across Canada. He emphasizes the organic nature of his growth and sponsorships, largely driven by his passion for history and ability to create content that resonates with a broad audience.

The conversation also touches on the challenges and opportunities of working with brands, the importance of genuine content, and the potential risks of relying on social media platforms that can change or disappear. Morgan highlights the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 as a crucial tool for content creation, praising its ease of use and quality.

Throughout the episode, Morgan, Bonar, and David discuss the value of historical content, the balance between entertaining and educational material, and the significance of personal connections and introductions in the content creation industry.
