Teens Discuss Nobel Winner Malala Yousafzai In Latest Fine Bros. React Video

The Fine Bros. can always capture confusing and entertaining reactions to viral videos or antiquated technology, but they do serious content very well, too. In their newest “Teens React” video, the duo decided to take a more contemplative approach and showed teenagers the story and speeches of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzia.

Yousafzia is a 17-year-old activist from Pakistan who stood up to (and was consequently shot by) the Taliban when she insisted she and other young women had a right to get an education. Because of her efforts, she became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize recipient in 2014. Most of the teens in the Fine Bros. episode react as expected: shocked at Malala’s story and inspired by her courage. But the video goes deeper than that, initiating powerful discussions outside the typical realm of a “Teens React” video.

After watching Malala’s speeches and hearing how hard she and other teens like her fought to attend institutions of learning in other parts of the world, several of the teens feel guilty about disliking their American schools for seemingly superficial reasons. Most of the teens insist they’ll start being more grateful for everything they have. The Fine Bros. also ask these teenagers very direct questions about how they would react if threatened by a terrorist and what they think of extremist religions as a whole.

“Hearing direct from a diverse range of U.S. teenagers makes for an episode we hope can be shared to continue this important conversation,” said Benny Fine in an email. And because of the Fine’s massive online video following, the conversation will most certainly be continued.

The brothers reach over over 13.5 million subscribers across three YouTube channels (the most recent of which, REACT, gained over 1 million subscribers alone in its first week). With those numbers, the duo can rest assured their efforts to bolster the discussion on equal education won’t be easily missed.

Hannah Hart, Grace Helbig Guest Star In ‘Epic Rap Battles Of History’

Last week, Epic Rap Battles of History began its fourth season with a busy matchup full of guest stars. Thanks to the popular web series’ new weekly schedule, a fresh installment of ERB arrived  on November 17th, with Hannah Hart and Grace Helbig portraying leading ladies in a battle pitting Bonnie and Clyde against Romeo and Juliet.

In the video, Hart plays Bonnie Parker alongside Lloyd Ahlquist’s Clyde Barrow; on the other side of the matchup, Helbig’s Juliet is paired with Peter Shukoff‘s Romeo. The battle features everything that makes ERB great, including detailed costumes, a fresh beat, and disses that are both educational and sharp.

If the two-and-a-half minute battle doesn’t do enough to satiate your ERB appetite, a behind-the-scenes video is available, as always, on the series’ secondary channel. And make sure to check back next Monday for a new battle, which is sure to sport some more guest stars of its own. I have to say: I’m a big fan ERB‘s new-and-improved schedule.

VEVO CEO Rio Caraeff To Exit The Company

Vevo CEO Rio Caraeff, who has been at the helm of the online music video destination and distribution company from its inception back in 2009 and since grown it into an industry powerhouse with more than eight billion views a month worldwide, will leave the organization once his contract is up at the end of 2014.

Caraeff sent an internal memo (which you can read, in full, below) to Vevo employees announcing his imminent departure the evening of Friday, November 14, while the New York Post concurrently ran an online scoop breaking the news to the public. Vevo’s Chief Financial Officer Alan Price will take on the role of interim CEO as the company’s board looks for a leader with a fresh vision (to work with Vevo’s new Vice President of Marketing, Stacy Moscatelli) and Caraeff takes some time off to “clear” his head.

Vevo, the joint venture between Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment with significant investment from Google and Abu Dhabi Media, is reportedly on pace to generate $350 million in revenue in 2014. A large chunk of that cash undoubtedly comes from advertising revenue generated by way of YouTube. Vevo is consistently the most-viewed multi-channel network on the world’s largest video sharing site, and it’s channels are the most well-represented among the Top 100 Most Viewed and Subscribed YouTube Channels every month.

The company’s board recently tried to leverage that viewership and popularity for a potential sale. Vevo had a number of potential suitors in Peter Chernin, Liberty Media, and Guggenheim Partners, before the powers that be took it off the block in August 2014.

Vevo’s next CEO may or may not be better equipped to move the company forward, but he or she will certainly not have Caraeff’s music industry pedigree. The 38-year-old was born and bred on rock and roll. Caraeff’s father, Ed Caraeff, is one of the most famous photographers of musicians of all-time, having shot this iconic image of Jimi Hendrix as well as well-known shots of Elton John, Dolly Parton, Marvin Gaye, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and many more artists who are now household names. While a lot of individuals have childhood memories of listening to the works of rock legends, Caraeff has childhood memories of them reading him bedtime stories.

Here’s that internal memo Caraeff sent to the team at Vevo announcing his departure:

Team,

Due to an ill timed leak which has led to a pending story in the press, I have decided to send this letter out to the company in advance of my planned announcement on Monday so that you hear about it first from me directly.

There are times in life when there is no other way to say it other than to just come out with it.  So here goes..

After nearly 6 years, I have decided to depart Vevo at the end of this year.

I care very deeply about the company that along with many of you, I helped to get off the ground.  I love her and will miss her but even more so, I will miss you all.

Our company celebrates its 5th birthday next month and that is as fitting a time as any for a change.

To thrill and delight music fans around the world has always been our purpose.  To bring music video to more people, in more places and in the highest quality possible was always our mission.  And we have been through a heck of a lot together. My mind races thinking about all of the great products we have shipped, the countries we have grown into, and all of the shows and incredible programming that we’ve produced.

I am proud of our Product & Tech team and the very first app that we developed and launched, which was for the iPhone in 2010. I also am very proud of our first app for TV, which was on Xbox. Our AppleTV app is still my personal favorite to use but what makes that one even more rewarding is knowing the back story of just how hard that we worked on it and how long it took just to get that deal done and that app launched (years!).

I am proud of our Sales, Research, Revenue Ops and International teams and everything that they have accomplished – it is continually awe inspiring and amazing to me that we have built (from scratch!) such a world class team across the US, UK and Germany and a network of successful partnerships around the globe.  It’s hard to believe (but completely true) that there was a time when we had no revenue or sales teams and had to set about building it all from nothing.

I am proud of our Marketing, Event & Programming teams for the many premieres, original shows and incredible events that we have pulled off over the years around the globe. Vevo Presents Kanye West (ft Jay-Z) live from Austin at SXSW is probably my all time favorite show that we’ve ever produced. Being in that abandoned power station and walking out of there somewhere between 4 and 5am after a blistering series of performances culminating with Kanye and Jay was something that I will never forget.

I am proud of our Business, Finance & HR teams, for being the oft-unsung heroes and doing so much heavy lifting that most of the company is not aware of every day.  From going to battle fearlessly in some very tough negotiations behind the scenes, to making sure that rights owners, artists and songwriters get paid to assuring that we have a roof over our heads and cash in the bank, you guys and gals work tirelessly to make sure that it all comes together.

Looking back, we were able to successfully convince the entire industry to evolve and change the way that it had historically operated and to think about its customer differently.  Restoring the value of music audiences and making them ultimately as valuable (if not more so) than those who love sports remains our goal.

We have won many battles and have lived to fight another day. Although there are many more to fight and much work to be done I know that you are all up for the task.

Making this decision was very hard but I know that the company is left in a very good place. Never before has she had such a deep bench of leadership and talent.  Our company also enjoys the recently renewed support of our founding shareholders who have consistently demonstrated a prescient long-term vision that our business is core and strategic. That music audiences are tremendously valuable. That thrilling and delighting fans with great programming just makes sense.

While our Board works swiftly to hire a new CEO, it has asked Alan Price to step up and run the company as interim CEO together with our senior leadership team.  The company is in truly great hands with this team who have my utmost respect and trust.

What is next for me? I do not yet know but I will take a moment to clear my head and when the time is right, my passion will guide and I will jump back in.

Sincerely,

Rio

ps. An official press release will be sent out by our company on Monday morning which includes words of support from our shareholders and speaks to the leadership transition in detail.

Indie Spotlight: ’52 Ways To Break Up’ Offers Ways To Leave Your Lover

We receive a ton of tips every day from independent creators, unaffiliated with any major motion picture studios, television networks, new media studios, or other well-funded online video entities. The Indie Spotlight is where we’ll write about and shout out to a select few of them and bring you up to speed on the great (and sometimes not-so-great) attention-grabbing series you probably haven’t heard about until now.  Read previous installments here

There are many web series about finding love, but the show in today’s Indie Spotlight is all about escaping it. Megan Rosati is the creator of 52 Ways To Break Up, a web series that offers exactly what it says on the title card.

52 Ways To Break Up is separated into short vignettes; out of the five release so far, none run longer than three-and-a-half minutes. The word “break up” is used liberally. Sometimes, it refers to escaping a bad hookup, which can be done through laughter, heavy drinking, or quiet footsteps. In more heartfelt episodes, it stands for something bigger. Check out this episode, for instance, which co-stars Chris Dinh of Wong Fu Productions:

Regular readers of our blog may recognize Rosati’s name from her appearances in Anna Akana’s short films, where she shows up regularly. In her own work, she’s adopted a much quieter, more personal tone, and it works well. A title like 52 Ways To Break Up implies romantic comedy, but Rosati’s web series also manages to get fairly deep. Check out new episodes as they arrive on her YouTube channel.

OTHER UNDER-THE-RADAR SERIES TO CHECK OUT

  • Our StudioA young couple entertains a steady stream of offbeat guests within their tiny studio apartment.

Big Frame Signs Deals With Arden Rose, That’s Heart, Nine Others

Big Frame has made a big addition to its network of creative partners. The talent management company owned by AwesomenessTV has announced 11 newcomers to its roster, including Arden Rose and That’s Heart.

The new faces within Big Frame’s networks span a variety of categories.  Rose, That’s Heart, and fellow signee Aspyn Ovard are three prominent members of YouTube’s beauty community, with more than three million subscribers between them. Big Frame will also expand its comedy and lifestyle offerings through Lauren Elizabeth, Ava Gordy, This Kid Needs Medicine, and three members of the YouTube sketch group SDK: Josh Sobo, Jonah Green and Ryan Abe. The final two names in Big Frame’s announcement are Mary Doodles, an artist known for her time-lapse sketches, and Lisa Malambri, a gamer who appeals to parents.

This wave of signings is Big Frame’s first big move since it hired Larry Shapiro, formerly of Fullscreen and CAA, as its Co-President. At Fullscreen, many of the partnerships Shapiro brokered were management deals that did not require YouTubers to break their ties with their other partner networks. AwesomenessTV COO Brett Bouttier reiterated this strategy in a recent interview with Tubefilter where he stated multiple times that Big Frame would be a fully fledged talent management company, welcoming and working with creators from all types of YouTube multi-channel networks. According to a release from Big Frame, many of its new signees are still with their old MCNs.

Rose, Elizabeth, and Ovard, for example, will all maintain their existing partnerships with the Stylehaul network. Sobo and Green are partnered with FullscreenHeart with Seventeen, Malambri with Maker Studiosand This Kid Needs Medicine with AwesomenessTV. Doodles and Gordy are both affiliated with Big Frame’s network.

“We are excited about signing this new group of phenomenal talent who have strong followings and are on a steep growth trajectory,” said Shapiro in a release. “As a leading digital management company, we are starting to build formats and IP that will move across multiple entertainment platforms. These key signings deepen our roster of female lifestyle creators and also establish a cornerstone for comedy talent at Big Frame.”

Big Frame’s new partners will join the company’s existing roster of talent, which includes Miranda Sings, Laina, Tyler Oakley, and Mystery Guitar Man.

The Onion CEO Says Now Is A “Good Time” To Consider Selling

The Onion is one of the most popular satire sites around, but its possible sale isn’t a joke. Onion Inc., owner of the humor site and its associated brands and YouTube channels (like the A.V. Club), has asked its financial advisor to explore the company’s options.

Bloomberg first reported on the Onion’s intentions on November 13, 2014, stating the company had hired a financial advisor from investment bank GCA Savvian. However, the Onion’s CEO Steve Hannah noted in a memo to his employees that the company had always had a financial advisor, and it was now merely “looking for the ideal partner who wants to put money in the company and accelerate its growth.”

And now is the time to do it. It’s a favorable market right now for digital publishers who can attract a dedicated audience. It’s why Maker Studios was purchased by Disney, and why Rooster Teeth was acquired by Fullscreen. While the Onion isn’t exactly like these companies, it still boasts a hugely loyal fan base and therefore has a lot to offer a possible buyer or investors.

Overall, though, Onion, Inc. is hoping for more money, whether it’s in the form of an investment or buy-out. Hannah wrote to his employees how it takes capital to grow a company. We’re assuming this means the Onion wants to take advantage of the burgeoning digital media market and expand the company’s online offerings, which currently range from parody YouTube channels to some of the best comedic web series around.

Re/code managed to obtain the internal memo Hannah sent to Onion employees. Here’s the full transcript:

To: Onion Staff
From: Steve Hannah
Re: Bloomberg article

By now most of you have probably seen an article that ran on the Bloomberg wire last night. It reported that The Onion had hired a financial advisor and was exploring a possible sale.

Here’s the real story:

Yes, we have a financial advisor. This is not new. We have had one helping us for most of the past 10 years. Whenever the media market is strong and the company is growing, we get inquiries from interested parties about everything from investment in to a possible purchase of The Onion.

We have been in a nice growth mode for the past 18 months, and that never fails to attract attention.

Our financial advisor handles inbound inquiries and also has been actively looking for the ideal partner who wants to put money in the company and accelerate its growth. It takes capital to grow a company and there is no better time to raise it than when your brand(s) and business are going strong.
In the course of looking to raise money, our advisors got a lot of interest from media companies and investment firms. Predictably, their interest ranged from making an investment in The Onion to acquisition of the company. This is the normal course of events in the capital-raising world.

We have had follow-up conversations with numerous parties in recent months. Our advisors will continue to have those conversations and, hopefully, they will lead to the right outcome.

Our senior management team is aware of these plans and plays a role in the process, giving us valuable input into where investment dollars could be put to work. They are positively excited about finding a partner who believes in our brands and our people, and they are eager to get the sort of investment that will allow us to fund new initiatives across the company.

This could be a good time for us to take on an investor, but it has to be the right one.

I will keep you apprised as things unfold.

Originally starting as a magazine in 1988 by two University of Wisconsin at Madison students, the Onion is now solely published online. Its YouTube channel currently boasts over 760,000 YouTube subscribers.

Conde Nast Searches For YouTube Stars, Partners With Kandee Johnson

The digital video division of Conde Nast Entertainment (CNE) now spans a dozen YouTube channels related to the publisher’s proprietary magazine brands. Most of the offerings we’ve seen from those channels have been high-quality scripted series backed by star power, ranging from Most Expensivest S**t to Codefellas. Now, CNE is looking to focus more on the Internet’s homegrown video community, and that’s exactly what it’s done thanks to a deal with YouTube beauty guru Kandee Johnson.

Johnson, who describes her online video home  as “the happiest channel on YouTube,” shares her favorite looks with more than 2.3 million subscribers. Through her deal with CNE, she will star a number of different web series, the first of which will be announced early next year. CNE didn’t say which of its channels Johnson will appear on, though Glamour, Allure, and Vogue all seem like logical choices.

What’s most interesting about CNE’s deal with Johnson is that it resembles the sort of agreement a YouTuber would make with a multi-channel network. CNE will be in charge of ad sales on Johnson’s YouTube channel and will seek out branded content opportunities for her. CNE chief revenue office Lisa Valentino told AdAge that it sees partnerships like this one “as long-term commitments to being in the premium content space.”

Johnson is the first YouTuber partner CNE has announced, but she won’t be alone. According to AdAge’s report, CNE will strike similar deals with five to ten other content creators, each of whom will match up with a specific category like food, beauty, or music.

Some YouTubers have already appeared on CNE’s online video channels. Johnson, for example, hosted Beauty ReCovered, in which she recreated some of Glamour’s most famous covers.

CNE didn’t give any specifics about when it will announce its other deals, but Whitney Howard, the company’s SVP of business development and strategy, did tell Adweek that other partners will be announced over the next few months.

SoulPancake Gives Hands-On Kitten Therapy To Stressed-Out LA Citizens

SoulPancake is well known for tackling many of life’s deeper, more serious topics. Now, the media company founded by Rainn Wilson (of The Office fame) is helping to eliminate stress in a new video called “Kitten Therapy.”

SoulPancake partnered with Purina for the project, which taped stressed-out Los Angeles citizens entering a glass box, putting on some headphones, and listening to a relaxation tape. However, the therapy session is “interrupted” when kittens are released through tiny doors to the delightful surprise of the individual inside the box. Playtime, cuddling, and de-stressing inevitably ensue.

SoulPancake collected the kittens from a local shelter, but the media company needed to attract some frazzled people so the participants could fully appreciate the stunt. “We posted up right next to the Los Angeles Courthouse in the heart of Downtown LA — it seemed like a reliable place to find stressed out people,” says SoulPancake’s Lindsay Indermill to The Video Ink.

According to Indermill, the media company’s “Kitten Therapy” video is “a big guinea pig…for how we can tackle a project as team and stretch our reach with resources.”

“We are experimenting with a doubly adventurous way to engage with our viewership — a live street stunt to recreate the video and a mobile version of #KittenTherapy for those who can’t make it to the stunt,” she said. This means we’ll likely see similar initiatives from SoulPancake in the future as it partners with more brands and looks for new ways to interact with its audience.

“Kitten Therapy” was highlighted in a tweet by What’s Trending on November 12, 2014. The next day, the video hit the #3 spot on Google Trends’ “Trending on YouTube”, and is in the top position as of this writing. Check out the video for yourself on SoulPancake’s YouTube channel. And brace for a complete de-stressing from cuteness overload.

YouTube Star Connor Franta Compiles ‘Crown’ Album Full Of “Diamonds In The Rough”

Connor Franta may not sing his own songs, but he knows how to pick them. The 22-year-old vlogger, who boasts over 4.2 million subscribers across two YouTube channels recently released the compilation album Crown, Vol. 1.

The YouTube star put together the album in order to introduce his fans to some of his favorite up-and-coming musicians. He first tweeted about the initiative on November 10, 2014 and a day later, Franta uploaded a vlog to YouTube officially announcing the iTunes release of Crown.

“A crown signifies power, authority & prestige,” Franta said in a statement reported on by Just Jared. “These tracks are diamonds in the rough, jewels within the music industry and compiled under one royal compilation. I’ve always enjoyed finding undiscovered musical artists with a fresh, unique sound and this playlist is full of just that. As you listen to this compilation, it’s my hope that you find a few jewels to add to your own crown.”

Franta’s followers have done more than their fair share of spreading the word about the vlogger’s project. According to Franta’s Twitter feed, the hashtag #BuyCrownsoniTunes trended worldwide on November 10, and only two days later, the album hit the #12 spot in the Pop Charts on iTunes. The prolific online video and social media personality tweeted his appreciation for his fans’ enthusiasm and noted how he virtually gets nothing out of the initiative. The entire point was to draw attention to the artists themselves.

If you’d like to hear Franta’s selection of melodies yourself, you can purchase Crown, Vol. 1 on iTunes for $9.99.

AOL Launches Competition To Find Host For Upcoming Sports Show

AOL is continuing to add to its original content library, and it’s searching for a new host along the way. The web media corporation has announced #AOLSportsSearch, an open casting call that will decide the host of an upcoming sports-related web series.

Interested sports fans can join the competition by using the #AOLSportsSearch hashtag on Twitter, Instagram, or Vine. There will be a pair of live casting calls in New York and Los Angeles on November 17th, which is also the final day for submissions. The next day, AOL will invite eight finalists to New York, where they will undergo a series of challenges to determine the winner. The auditions will be streamed live on AOL’s sports hub, and a winner will be announced on November 19th.

So what is AOL looking for? A press release didn’t share any details about the show itself, though it did note that “prospective hosts should stand out from the pack and are encouraged to think outside the box – be knowledgeable and enthusiastic sports fans with experience and unique perspectives on current sporting events.”

“Great content starts with great talent. We want to start by sourcing the best new creators from emerging platforms and partner with one of them to develop a new, differentiated sports show,” said Dermot McCormack, President of Video at AOL. “The show marks an exciting new chapter in AOL’s evolution as a video and programming powerhouse.”

AOL has dabbled in sports content before. It released My Ink, a web series in which athletes discussed the stories behind their tattoos. More recently, it paired athletes with business execs in Win/Win, which debuted its first five episodes on November 7th. Those two series, as well as all of the other original programs AOL has distributed, can be viewed via the AOL On portal.

Fox To Award $25,000 In Effort To Promote TV Everywhere Platform

Fox wants its cable and satellite TV subscribers to know exactly what they’re paying for. The network is running a sweepstakes called “Stream It and Dream It” to promote its TV Everywhere platform where subscribers have a chance to win $25,000.

Fox’s subscribers have access to all its channels through five of the network’s applications. Subscribers can stream the network’s content on multiple connected devices, such as computers, smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. However, Fox recently found most subscribers were not aware of these features.

“A study from HUB Research earlier this year, commissioned by Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM),  indicates more than half of pay-TV subscribers are unaware of the features and capabilities of TV Everywhere, and nearly 60%  have never taken advantage of the service, which is provided at no additional cost,” said John Lansing, President and CEO of CTAM, in a release. “Yet viewers who watch TV on non-linear devices feel the value of their cable subscription is significantly higher. The ‘Stream It and Dream It’ promotion will amplify an industry-wide collaboration to increase awareness of TV Everywhere among consumers, and encourage them to simply sign in and enjoy watching TV on the device of their choosing.”

All Fox subscribers need to do is sign into any of the five Fox apps (FOXNOW, FXNOW, FOX Sports Go, Nat Geo TV, or BTN2Go), authenticate their cable provider login information, and stream TV shows or sporting events. Fox will even provide a free two-hour pass to viewers who don’t have pay-TV login credentials. Participants can then submit the promotional code provided during the content on StreamItandDreamIt.com for a chance to win $25,000.

Subscribers also have the option of using a tool on StreamItandDreamIt.com to secure their cable provider login information, ensuring users won’t need to re-authenticate each time they want to watch content.

Check out the promotional video below for the the “Stream It and Dream It,” and make sure to stream your favorite TV shows or sporting events if you’re a current Fox subscriber. Contest ends on November 20, 2014.
