Plotaverse Co-Founder, Troy Christopher Plota, a High Fashion and Ad Photographer for over 30 years joins Enterprise Radio to talk about the future of advertising and photography.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Troy Christopher Plota discuss the following:

* What made you create Plotaverse? How did you go from being a professional photographer to being a global leader in Motion Art?

* What put your Plotaverse creation on the map? How did you reach 4 million downloads and became the only featured app for the iPhone X ?

* What sets Plotaverse apart from all other visual marketing tools? How did you outwit an industry that went from demanding $35k per day to only $1K per day?

* How easy is it for businesses to transition to digital advertising with Plotaverse?

* Where do you see the future of branding and advertising? How can artists monetize their passion?

Tip: Stats are proving that video content gets 3 times more engagement than still content. The audience’s attention span is short, especially for branded content. So the future of advertising is in creating state of the art looping content. Plotaverse is the first and most advanced looping content creation platform of its kind. Posting a Plotagraph doubles and triples engagement and therefore website referrals and sales.

Plotaverse Founder, Troy Christopher Plota, has been an award winning Professional Photographer for over 30 years. His work has appeared in top magazines including Vanity Fair, GQ, Rolling Stone, and many more. His Advertising work has also appeared on dozens of billboards in New York’s Times Square, as well as on the Vegas strip.

Troy’s family immigrated to the U.S. from Europe. As a first generation American, Troy carries the name, Plota, with pride. His grandparents had fearlessly risked their lives to create new opportunities for him and his family. Entrepreneurship runs in Troy’s blood.

At the age of 13, Troy picked up his first camera and started shooting. Finally, at the age of 21, he opened the doors to his own studio. Being a Tech entrepreneur turned out to be much different in nature than running a Photography Studio. Plunging into the App business, Troy quickly realized that his 30 year experience as a professional Photographer gave him a vital edge over his competition, excelling him to the forefront of Technology.

Troy’s latest creation is the Digital Sharing platform, “Plotaverse”, which also features his award winning Photo Animation App, “Plotagraph.” It became the only App featured in the Apple Store for the release of the iPhone X.

In 2013 Troy gave a Ted Talk titled “The Future of Photography.” Troy is on a mission to share his

knowledge with the Industry and push boundaries with his unique, first to market software creation. He believes that Plotaverse not only brings something new to the trade, but it gives Artists a raised caliber of tools to which only professionals had access to. The range of Plotaverse’s dynamic apps enables artists to express their creativity with never seen before techniques, and helps monetize their passions for Motion Art and Photography.
