YouTube is not just a platform for video sharing, but a space in which people from all over the world can come together virtually and engage with content from outside their corresponding geographic, generational, and individual backgrounds.

Agencies are no strangers to disruption. Recent years have unleashed a practically-unending seismic event for the industry, from changing consumers tastes, demographics, and innovative new technologies.

A mobile website can be a powerful tool to help your brand engage customers and generate conversions. However, just because you build a beautiful mobile website doesn’t necessarily mean customers will come. Even worse, customers might actually come—and then leave immediately. It happens everyday: Users abandon half of all mobile website visits if they take longer than three seconds to load, but the average mobile website takes 15.3 seconds. That means your website needs to be not just well-de...
