10 Seconds, that’s all you have to grab their attention….

You will never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Some stats show 80% of people that watch a video ad remember it, and 47% actually take action.

Video is one of the biggest drivers of Internet traffic today, and with social media spreading the content around faster than ever before, a startup would be mad not to ignore these two great strategies to build their user base and strengthen their brand.

That’s why X Media Lab are running this event, a master class featuring some of the world’s leading video, social media and mobile professionals.

If you’re not up to speed with “Video+Social”, you better get your skates on, for content
creators, corporate brands, developers and platforms, the opportunities it presents have never been greater.

That’s why Facebook was willing to pay a staggering USD $19 billion for WhatsApp and its 55 employees.

X Media Lab “Video+Social” is the ‘not-to-be-missed’ one-day event that can make the difference between failure and success from a video, social media, and mobile standpoint.

So what exactly is WhatsApp? Simple, it’s Mobile = Video+Social.

Content creators, corporate brands, developers, and platforms are both ever more intertwined and ever more in competition. The opportunities have never been greater or equally more uncertain.

We are in an era where companies with direct links to consumers (think Netflix) are producing thrilling dramas (eg “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black”) with ‘all-at-once’ release strategies, compete with ‘constrained publishing’ models (Vine, Snapchat,Twitter, Instagram), and where the ‘third screen’ has now become the first (mobile), oh – and then there’s YouTube.

Want to press pause and get a handle on this?

X Media Lab “Video+Social” – is one-day of high value insights and practical hands-on instructional masterclasses from some of the world’s best “Video + Social” experts, teaching you skills that you can apply to your business, creative project, brand, or career immediately.

This one-day will give you a 360 degree view of all you need to know and bring you completely up to date on how to thrive in a world where online video audiences are expected to double in 2016 and reach 1.5 billion people globally (Cisco).

IF YOU’RE AN ENTREPRENEUR: … you need to be there …
think online video audiences to double to 1.5 billion people globally by 2016 (Cisco).
