Sarah Tortoreti, VidCon VP of Marketing said: “VidCon is excited to partner with VCCP Media to help us engage the UK audience in new ways around this inaugural event in the market. From day one they hit the ground running to accelerate performance. They continually recommend new and creative ways to engage this young audience and their parents and we’re delighted to have them working as an extension of our team, despite the geographical difference.”

On being appointed, VCCP Media’s COO Tara Marus said: “Having worked with Viacom, namely MTV on a variety of digital campaigns since 2015, we are delighted to be supporting the wider Viacom group with agile media solutions and strong client partnerships to help Vidcon achieve cirtical business results.
