The Best Kept Secret. YouTube Helps Artist Expose His Talents and Gain Fans!

A form of advertising that is quickly gaining popularity is "YouTube" video ads. This avenue for advertising is used by celebrities, brands, and all types of people. YouTube is a great place to view movie trailers for new movies being released in theaters near you, or music videos by your favorite artists, or even television ads that didn't make it on T.V. or ones that you need to watch over and over again because they are addictive and entertaining.

The best way to deliver a message to a target audience is to use as many advertising avenues as possible. Television, online, radio, print, outdoor, specialty, and the list goes on. However, sometimes, for certain messages, print ads or radio spots, or even billboards will simply not do the brand/person justice and will not portray the message in the best way. This is when YouTube video ads can be utilized to send out a message in a fitting way.

The video that I have included is of a friend of mine Mike Nance, who goes by the name "Mikey Graffiks". I have known him since I was a young kid, and he has always  been very talented artistically. Recently, he started producing more pencil sketches and giving them away to family and friends as gifts. He began tattooing about a year ago and has quickly gained a large fan group. Even more recently, Mike began doing oil paintings. It is simply amazing how gifted Mike is, and its even more incredible that he has not received any schooling for art, he is completely self-taught! The best way for him to show people his true artistic talents are through short video promotions such as the one I am including in this blog. Hopefully after seeing this video, you too will become a fan!
