Content is mostly business and technology commentary; a panel titled "From Star Athlete to Murder Charges: The Dating App Setup" covers a criminal case, so political and social topics appear occasionally.

About James Hicks
James Hicks is a technologist with more than 30 years in enterprise IT who publishes English-language videos through the HicksNewMedia channel. His 30 most recent uploads mix short Shorts commentary on AI, Apple products and creator tools with longer panel discussions on sports culture and the creator economy. Estimates suggest his audience skews toward US-based technology professionals and creators aged 25 to 44, though these figures are not measured. The website describes him as a founder of a multi-property media network and says he offers partnership calls.
The channel's median of 168 views per video is modest for its 36,100 subscribers, which indicates a small but attentive viewership. Estimated sponsored integration rates are $150 to $250 per video, roughly $20 to $35 CPM at median views, which is higher than the $10 to $30 CPM typical of paid ads, so the channel is best reserved for targeted technical audiences. Brands selling enterprise software, AI tools or creator gear should consider booking him.
