YouTube star Corey Vidal to speak at Toronto event


TORONTO – YouTube success story Corey Vidal will be speaking at Crossmedia TO’s August 17th evening event.

With over 175 videos on YouTube and over 50 million views, Vidal has been ranked as one of Canada’s "Most Viewed" partners and "Most Subscribed" users of all time. And, he makes his living at it.

"In a time when almost all web video can be seen for free, making money with your own content can be nearly impossible," said Gavin McGarry, founder of Crossmedia TO. "In an honest and organic way, Corey has been able to not only get over 200,000 subscribers, but he’s also found success in generating income from his online content. We are excited to have Corey joining us for this month’s event and talk about how he’s making money through online video. "

Joining Corey will be Guy Gal, CEO of Toronto based digital video agency who has been successful in developing, distributing and monetizing online video. The two will be on hand for an informal discussion on how to play the YouTube game right.

Also confirmed to speak at Crossmedia TO will be GlassBOX’s Simon Foster, and co-founders of ‘phygital’ (physical + digital) marketing specialists TabbleTabble.

Crossmedia TO is held the third Wednesday of every month at the Spoke Club in Toronto. To register for the August 17th event visit: http://crossmediato.com
