About a week ago I attended the first ever Buffer Festival Industry Day. Here’s a quick little snip of some of my fav moments!
It was great listening to top YouTubers talk about their experiences in brand building and projects. I was right up front to admire Harley from Epic Meal Time’s beard. He was my fav on the panel and it was neat to hear how the Epic Meal Time brand has evolved.
A couple years ago I was at a Biz Media party and the team from Epic Meal time was there (blog post here w/ photos). They made a bacon volcano and bacon roses to go along with a suite of other epic meat creations. There was a meat photobooth too.
I arrived just in time to catch my friend Brad Ford from Contiki chatting about brands, fans, and influence. This is one of my fav topics and it was cool to hear how the other brands were working with influencers.
I can speak first hand about the awesome job Contiki has done in connecting with ambassadors to tell their brand story. I’m working on a little something new with Contiki but no details just yet…you’ll know soon enough! Take a look at my adventure to Thailand with them last year here.
This was an awesome event for anyone looking to beef up their knowledge of how to make it on YouTube. I can only imagine how much the landscape will change by the time Buffer Festival rolls around next year. Something not to be missed!
Hope your week is good. I’m off to the OBEY Clothing spring preview then to hang out with Globe Style and Sophie Kinsella, author of the Shopaholics series.
