More About This Course:

The mediums, platforms, and formats of artistic expression are constantly evolving.

Digital brands are creating entire channels for boutique cable bundles. Traditional YouTube multi-channel networks (MCNs), such as Fullscreen, are working on monthly paid subscription premium networks; and other MCNs are contributing entire channels to mobile networks.
