Eric Solomon sees the concept of influencers growing beyond what we’re familiar with now.

“I don’t think it’s just on YouTube,” Solomon says. “YouTube at this point is nine years-old and the fact that it’s thriving as much as it is is amazing for a nine-year-old platform. We’re going to see influencers grow on YouTube and across all the new media that’s coming about.”

When Eric Solomon provided the first keynote for the day on last Thursday’s popular [a]list summit, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to chat with Eric about who influencers really are and the sheer immensity of untapped talent out there.
