ViralGains Launches story.tech National Road Tour

BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Jul 27, 2017) - ViralGains, the industry's only video advertising journey platform, today announced details for its story.tech series focused on the shift toward creating authentic connections with consumers through video, with events planned this fall in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta and Detroit.

"Over the years, an array of controversial ideas about video have come about -- what constitutes a payable event and what metrics matter," said Tod Loofbourrow, CEO, ViralGains. "Due to the success of our first story.tech event in Boston earlier this year, we're excited to expand the series to six key markets across the country."

Topics that will be discussed during story.tech include:

• Why Digital Video is Not TV - How video has evolved and where the opportunities are.
• Is the Model Broken? - Exploring why two-second views is a broken model, and why measuring and focusing on engagement is critical.
• Campaigns vs. Ad Journeys - How to use video beyond discovery campaigns and influence the entire purchase cycle.
• Two-Way Conversations - Using two-way conversations with viewers to generate data/signals that better inform personalized video campaigns.
• Measurement - How to move away from vanity metrics and instead measure engagement and KPIs that matter to a business.
• Future Trends - Exploring new technology and trends.
