About gregbalvin

Greg Balvin runs a YouTube channel focused on high-resolution 4K wildlife footage captured in the Rocky Mountains, the Tetons and Yellowstone. Most of his posts are short vertical clips under a minute, often featuring grizzly bears, moose, wolves and elk. The channel has about 23,000 subscribers and typically earns around 2,500 views per video. Viewers are likely nature enthusiasts, outdoor hobbyists and people interested in wildlife photography. The description says the footage has been licensed for feature films, documentaries and television, which is noted in the description rather than verified here.

Sponsorship is not present in the recent videos. Based on the channel's view counts, an estimated sponsored integration would run $150 to $250 per video, which works out to roughly $20 to $35 CPM for long-form content and $4 to $8 CPM for Shorts-heavy channels, compared with typical paid ad CPMs of $10 to $30. Brands in outdoor gear, travel and conservation may find the audience a good fit for focused, low-cost placements.

This channel suits brands that want authentic, high-quality wildlife imagery or a niche outdoor audience rather than broad reach. Its low upload frequency in recent months should be weighed against its archive value.
