WalkAlong Spotlight
The WalkAlong team would like to thank everyone for their engagement with the #SPOTLIGHT campaign this past week. We received a lot of positive feedback on the topics we promoted for each YouTuber, which was an accomplishment on our team's part. Although we weren’t able to attend #VidCon2016 this year, we are extremely proud of the growth that the mental health space has within the YouTube community.
In case you missed out on our live tweets regarding this specific social media campaign, be sure to take a read below! All the posts featuring the daily spotlights are included in this blog post. Also, if you want like more updates regarding our next campaign then make sure to follow us on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr accounts. Thanks for tuning in!
