Video, Advertising and Social Media the Magical Trio for Online Business!

With all recent reports highlighting the ongoing growth of Digital Video and the increasing share of Ad spending and as we see this year the integration between social networks, video and advertising is very clear.

All social networks are extremely focused on two aspects advertising (simply this is where the money is) including Facebook ads, Instagram ads, twitter ads, etc and the second aspect is video with the big fight between them as well (Youtube vs Facebook videos, etc)

so we decided to dedicate our upcoming meetup to deeply dive in this area, also focusing on the local market in Egypt and trying to analyze the ads spending and user behavior over social media and watching videos online, especially what was booming in Ramadan this year!

This meetup in 6th in a row of our “Online Content Creators meetup series” that we have started earlier in 2015 focusing on online content especially video.
