It’s not only individuals who are attempting to leverage the weed-like growth and opportunity for celebrity star status on Vine. Brands are using Twitter’s 6-second video platform for acclaim and things cool, too.

But beyond a contributor credit on a short film that will air on premium cable television, these 6-seconds could just set you on a path towards multi-million-follower Vine fame. Good luck.
