Each month, we bring together a top notch brand marketer and an entrepreneur to chat about an overarching theme.
There's been an explosion in how we communicate with visuals - videos, GIFs, emojis, bitstrips, memes, stickers... and the list goes on. Knowing that, what are ways for brands to differentiate themselves in storytelling? Do long-form videos still work in the social landscape?
In addition to video content, now that Facebook has opened up Messenger as a platform, should brands create content for consumers to use in Messenger apps?
What about livestreaming? Are Meerkat and Periscope to stay? 
On the other hand, what do brands look for in technology partners when they create visual content?
On Tuesday, April 21st, we bring together Lee Maicon(Chief Strategy Officer at <A HREF="http://www.360i.com/" REL="nofollow">360i</A>) &Adam Leibsohn (COO at <A HREF="http://giphy.com/" REL="nofollow">Giphy</A>)to chat about visual storytelling trends and what's to come.
