Securing your monthly segment in our channel lineup will lock out any other competitors in your vertical. Your 20-minute segment and 10-minute Q&A will have a moderator to keep the flow and viewer experience. Your segment is an opportunity to showcase your knowledge, brand and position as business influencer in your industry, while also building know, like and trust among our network of business decision makers.
