In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Eric Siu talks with Micah Cohen, the director of growth for Twenty20.

The company recently switched from a big sales model to a self-service model. Marketing-wise, it concentrates on paid social, search marketing and a few partnerships with other companies.

For Twenty20, the allure of an authentic photo still persists; in fact, it is these "authentic" photos that make the biggest, noticeable impact. As Cohen puts it, users of photo-sharing apps are sick of the posed Instagram photos with the white background. For a true photo-sharing experience, people instantly gravitate towards what is true and real. Especially when you are reaching out as a marketer, your goal should be to come across as a trusted friend.
