This special live episode was recorded on August 22, 2016 as part of a Silicon Beachfest panel with four distinguished guests:

Erick Brownstein -- Partner & Chief Strategy Officer, Shareability

Luisa Huang -- Co-Founder, Feldspar Ventures

Phil Ranta -- COO U.S., Studio71

Shauna Miller -- Director of Programming, Kin Community

Our conversation focused on the future of the online video industry, highlighting the differences between what the panelists see as short-term fads (click-bait content, undifferentiated influencer marketing platforms, and short-form content SVOD services) and lasting trends (live streaming, immersive video, and branded content as a vehicle for storytelling). We also discuss what traditional and digital players can learn from one another, successful online video business models of the future, and content strategies for brand marketers.
