Our trainer: Marc Sandmeier is the CEO and co-founder of Picstars. Picstars invented a brand new technology that lets brands be present on social media photos and videos taken by ambassadors. Not only does the brand get matched with the perfect fitting ambassador, the brand also controls and measures all social media activities of its ambassadors - in real time.
