He is a Forbes "30 Under 30", with an impressive digital trifecta to boast about on his bio. Having worked at YouTube, Google and Instagram, he's not only seen the digital revolution, he's also helped to create it. As head of creator product marketing for five years at YouTube, he worked with YouTube's biggest celebrities and brands to grow their audiences - and their incomes. Now at Instagram – and heralded as "cracking the code on going viral" – Youshaei's goal is to empower a new generation of stars and businesses via Instagram's new video platform.

In keeping with the conference theme of Marketing.The Movie, Youshaei’s presentation is: “Don’t get Lost in Translation. How to Tell Stories that Sell”.  This will be followed by a 15-minute live Q&A from San Francisco. As a writer for both Time and Forbes, Youshaei’s articles regularly reach number one with million-plus views. He has upwards of 400,000 weekly subscribers who read his comic, “Every Vowel”, in the Business Insider.
