Publishers are using the Cannes Lions festival to pitch marketers on audience data-targeting opportunities, with the Guardian, News UK and The Telegraph unveiling an alliance to compete with Facebook and Google for ad revenue. Instagram is launching new video hub and app that lets video creators distribute long-form videos on the platform. The big question is whether Instagram users will watch videos that run longer than a couple minutes. For most of VidCon's eight-year existence, YouTube dominated the event. Now, however, competing digital video platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat are increasingly ramping up their VidCon presence.
