    Wonderful! I'm a huge advocate for YouTube and the possibilities of success within that platform. It has been the platform where my clients have gotten the majority of success and growth with much lower ad spend than other platforms and we get to be so much more playful with the content than other platforms that are really pigeon-holed into a format/aesthetic.
