09 Apr Commercials Should Set Trends
Every morning, one of my main routines is opening up YouTube or Facebook and scanning through for the most “buzzed” about online video content. What I have found is that increasingly a lot of this content involves well-done commercials with incredibly told stories.

In very little time, I…
