"This AT&T video is a great example of how a brand can work with creators to generate content that not only resonates with its audience but also lands the brand's key message. The 'It Can Wait' platform is something AT&T has created over time through multiple content and connection strategies. This video is a small example of the effort they clearly take to ensure the content is fit-for-purpose. It demonstrates an understanding of the creators, their channel, the audience, and how to execute with impact. Read the comments. Powerful stuff.
Of all our creator collaborations, my personal favourite is the Fanta work we executed with Elly Awesome. She was a perfect fit for the brand, the content resonated well with her audience, and it generated some great results."

"I'm a little bit of a tech junkie, so I like to stay on top of all the cool new gadgets that are coming out and what they're like. The YouTube community is full of great Apple reviewers, Microsoft reviewers, etc., but there aren't that many impartial reviewers who give you a bit of everything. Marques Brownlee is quick off the mark, has an active channel, and not to mention, he drives a Tesla!"
