Jim Louderback, Editorial Director of VidCon’s Industry Tracks, said: “Online video is no longer just a single platform experience. True success means embracing each of the top platforms and approaching them as individual, unique experiences. You can’t afford to ignore any of them, nor can you create content for one and dump it on the rest. That’s why we’re excited to bring Facebook, YouTube and Instagram to VidCon to explain how to build success on their platforms. We’ve also brought in experts from around the world to share their secrets, including some that the owners of those platforms probably don’t want you to know!”
