Do you know a digital media influencer – or better yet, are you one yourself? Tongal needs your help finding influential digital filmmakers or talent who are either already influencers or who are about to break big. Beyond a great personality, we’re looking for influencers who have the platform and potential to grow subscribership, not just on-screen presences.

Freddie W, Barely Political, Mystery Guitar Man, Anna Akana – chances are you know these names and the incredible videos these filmmakers produce, but they’re not the only filmmakers who are as charismatic on camera as they are talented behind the lens.  We’re looking for the next great influencer, a filmmaker with a digital presence who maybe hasn’t hit 1MM or even 100K subs yet on YouTube but is looking to grow their subscribership, make more and better content, and work more closely with brands to create branded content and digital ads.

Tongal is looking to help develop and work with an influencer who meets all or some of the following criteria:

• YouTube or Facebook – 10,000+ subscribers/followers
• Not just a vlogger – we’re looking for someone with actual filmmaking chops
• We’re open to most content verticals, including action, comedy, automotive, animation, cooking, how-to/diy, toys and gaming, reviews, etc.

NOTE: While we’re looking for influencers and up-and-comers of all verticals, we’ve got an immediate interest in the following verticals and demographics:

• Horror influencers – Digital horror YouTubers, Viners, Snapchatters, etc; 
• On-screen talent – Why are their vlogs the best? Are they talented actors?
• Hispanic influencers and/or Spanish-language audiences 
• Female influencers and/or strongly female audiences
• Strong horror audiences

The goal of this project is to help find the next big up-and-coming influencer filmmaker who’s got the personality and the chops to run branded content and create digital ads. Whether that’s you, your best friend, or a channel YouTube’s suggested videos algorithm recently surfaced for you, we want to hear more.
