About VirginMediaShorts
VirginMediaShorts is the YouTube channel for Virgin Media Shorts, a UK short film competition that has run for several years and presents shortlisted films to cinema audiences. The channel posts red carpet interviews with filmmakers and shortlist film uploads, mostly around 2 to 4 minutes long. No uploads have appeared in the past year, so the channel is effectively inactive.
The audience appears to be UK-based film enthusiasts and aspiring filmmakers, based on channel topics and video titles. These viewer profiles are estimates and not platform-reported data. Median views are about 440 per video, with a small number of shortlist films reaching well above that.
The channel has no sponsored content and no current brand work visible. Based on the dossier, a sponsored integration would be priced at $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views, which at 440 median views is a low figure; this is a long-form channel, so the CPM is $20 to $35 per 1,000 views, compared with $10 to $30 CPM typical for paid ads. Brands seeking film-focused exposure should verify whether the channel is still monitored before booking.
