Meet Ross Brand
Ross' Influencer Outreach and Livestreaming Shows Helped StreamYard grow from a small user base to a $250M Acquisition.
Ross Brand is an award-winning livestreaming strategist who helps:
1. creators & entrepreneurs monetize their talent and expertise
2. brands sell their products and services
3. livestreamers with hosting, promotion, gear, and show development.
Ross grows revenue by connecting brands with customers on social media through compelling content and real-time interactivity. As an on-air personality for industry brands including Streamyard, LiveU, and BeLive, he has a dedicated following among digital influencers who look to him for the latest trends and tech.
“While we were making StreamYard, we studied Ross very carefully,” said StreamYard co-founder & CEO Geige Vandentop. “I watched his streams while we were building StreamYard.”
Ross is the organizer and host of the Monetize Livestreaming Now™ Virtual Summit. It’s the first and only livestreaming conference devoted entirely to the topic of monetization.
He was selected one of “5 Live Video Experts to Follow” by Switcher Studio, the “Number One Twitter Account for Learning Live Stream Marketing” by Amp Live, and a Top 25 Video Marketing Influencer by Onalytica.
