The Portable Film Festival is excited to host a conversation with Andrew Baron, the NY-based founder of Rocketboom, as part of the Portable Film Symposium
Andrew Baron, founder and producer of Rocketboom is recognised as the leading strategist of branded content and online video advertising in New York, and internationally. Rocketboom, the online technology and culture video newcast founded by Baron in 2004, was accused by the New York Times of 'writing the obituary of TV'. It is one of the fastest growing start-ups on the web. Today, the show is estimated to be worth more than $4-5 million annually in ad revenue alone.
Andrew Baron will make appearances in Melbourne (14th), Sydney (11th) and Adelaide (13th) throughout August, 2008.
The Portable Symposium Series delivers groundbreaking international cross-media practitioners to Australian and Asia Pacific creative communities. In an intimate and open conversation, these events help to share strategies and foster innovation and risk taking in media ventures throughout the region.
