Jason Russell is a creative director powerhouse and the visionary behind viral videos for Invisible Children’s KONY 2012 which amassed a staggering 103 million views on YouTube, and charity: water, which skyrocketed their monthly donors from 800 to over 80,000.

During our conversation today, Jason gets into the nitty gritty of his video creation process, including the key components that make up a piece of content to inspire action. We also debunk the myths about video length and how to be really creative with your marketing and media budget. It was an honor for me to host this conversation - let’s go!
