NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AMG/Parade is pleased to announce the formation of a new investment and strategic sales partnership with Made In Network, a Nashville-based video-first media company, to develop brand channels on YouTube, including concept creation, channel management, video production and influencer marketing.
