What does an event specialist do at an ad measurement company? Patrick Riodran explains it to a teen

The next interview on the list is one led by a good friend and future of Explain it to a Teenager, Ethan Aina-Wilson. In this video, he talks to event specialist Patrick Riordan from iSpot, who shares some great secrets on the process of what it's like to be an event specialist, how he got there, and even how AI contributes to his position. iSpot.tv is an ad measurement company, and one that Patrick Riodran currently works for as the event specialist.

Watch this video to find out why an ad measurement company needs an event specialist, what an event specialist does, how this pro developed his own skills as one, and how to get into this career path.

After the interview, I had my first ever complaint from an interviewee, in which Patrick stated that the interview was "too good" and "too much fun", and I thought I'd share that with you as a warning in the good name of brand transparency.
