Celebrating BuzzMyVideos Partners who helped to make Raindance Web Fest a must attend event for streaming video creators and professionals

Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the Raindance Web Fest in London. Only in its second year, the Raindance Web Fest is quickly turning into a must attend event for creators and professionals working streaming and social video. I was particularly proud to see BuzzMyVideos partners in attendance and directly involved as organisers and speakers this year. 

Aside from the well curated line up of web series, the stand out at this year’s festival was the insightful panels featuring top notch speakers on a range of topics. Raindance plans to release videos of these panels later but in the meantime check out the Digital Creators UK twitter feed who where on hand to live tweet the entire event. 

At the joint Raindance Web Fest/Social Media Week panel on YouTube Marketing for Creators and Filmmakers I got to speak alongside branded content and digital marketing experts James Edward Marks, Rochelle Dancel and George Aliferis about how YouTube creators can best market their channels and make the platform work for them.

I especially enjoyed getting to meet up with the many wonderful creators at the festival, especially our partners who all contributed to the success of this year’s event: Phillip Whiteman of The Vessel, Lisa Gifford of 3Some and Jamie McKellar of Redshirt Films who premiered his latest series The Away Mission and was a finalist in the Dailymotion Pilot Competition with Last Girl Standing.

A big shout out has to go to BuzzMyVideos partner and the mastermind and producer behind Raindance Web Fest – Elisar Cabrera (3some and Those Video Guys).  Elisar has been the driving force behind the festival since day one, working tirelessly behind to scenes to pull it all together.
