YouTube Publicity

Blaze Orange also made an appearance on the very popular (689,448 subscribers) vlog of Casey Neistat. I have been following Casey on YouTube for a while. He is a NYC videographer that has done work for many high-profile clients, including Vogue, HBO, Mercedes, etc. The list goes on and on. He is unique and a little crude in his approach to his video work. Recently he started doing daily vlogs which for whatever reason are addicting to me and thousands of others. I don’t think you can just jump in and get them but after a few you will.
