This includes creating images or video for consumption on any number of platforms or apps, such as YouTube, Snapchat, Vine or Instagram.  In the case of Vine and Instagram, content creators are free to share their images or short form (6-15 seconds) videos.  What’s great about these platforms is that they’re mobile-friendly, which is good, considering the fact that 20-30% of all web traffic comes from mobile devices.
