I’m Greg Ott, a producer, writer, and content creator.
Based out of New York City, I’ve written and produced digital news videos, television documentaries, YouTube and TikTok videos, podcasts, and a wide variety of articles and whitepapers. A comedian by trade, I’m best at creating content that tells a clear and engaging story, quickly gets to the point, and surprises the viewer when applicable.
