Erica Ortega, Director of Product Marketing at Tubular Labs, recently spoke with Mike Shields on his Next in Creator Media podcast, where she dove into the ripple effects of TikTok’s brief ban and its implications for the future of short-form video.
Tubular Labs, the leader in social video insights, provides analytics that shed light on user behaviors across platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitch.
