This week I attended another successful Digital Hollywood event. I had the pleasure of sitting on a panel with my accomplished peers (listed below).

I was particularly excited to hear from “Jimmy Kimmel Live” EP Doug Deluca.  For those of you that have seen my YouTube Clean-Up and Optimization Tips deck, I often use the Jimmy Kimmel channel as an example of how to do it right.

The biggest takeaway from the “New Hollywood Equation” panel is the reassurance that we no longer need to validate why online video is important. We know it is. Now, it’s all about figuring out which models work and, ultimately, what generates the most revenue. We all have slightly different approaches to what we’re producing and distributing, but we’re all empowered to create the best content possible.

We were featured on the YouTube homepage today! I’m especially proud of this one because ReNailz is our homegrown talent I plucked from EQAL’s team of bloggers. I saw her on-camera potential the second she opened her mouth (and never closed it!). She’s genuinely passionate about fashion and nail art—oh, and the nickname “ReNailz” didn’t hurt either!

Hopefully, this is the first of many homepage features incorporating the good stuff we’re cooking up.

Get your nailz did!
