Kids songs…They’re catchy, soothing, great for putting kids to sleep, but what you might not think about is they’re also HIT CONTENT. When global hits are built on YouTube, the creative and business dynamics are fascinating.
We chat with Morghan Fortier, CEO and co-founder of Skyship Entertainment, the company behind Canada’s #1 YouTube channel, Super Simple Songs. We hear about their journey toward 35 billion global views, how they stay #1, and why Morghan decided to advocate for hundreds of thousands of other Canadian creators by appearing in The House of Commons to speak up about the country’s newly proposed media legislation, Bill C-11, The Online Streaming Act, which could unravel the work of digital entrepreneurs like her.
