Spanish term or phrase:campana de difusion
"YouFest es uno de los pocos proyectos con un 'sitio premium' dentro de YouTube, una campaña de difusión notable en el canal de media más masivo del planeta, y será transmitido en live streaming con una audiencia potencial de varios millones en España y el mundo."
Hi everyone,
This is Argentine Spanish, coming from a document presenting a new company for potential investors. The company focuses on the marketing and promotion of live music festivals involving YouTube stars, and many of its principal clients are advertisers.
"campaña de difusión" = dissemination channel/campaign?

YouFest is one of the few projects with a "prime spot" to have a marked advertising campaign on Youtube, the most popular media channel on the planet, and which will be broadcast live via streaming for a potential audience of several million viewers from Spain and around the world.
Here's my attempt, which I think sounds pretty natural :)
"YouFest is one of the few projects that holds a “prime spot” on YouTube, with a publicity campaign on one of the most widespread media channels in the world. The event will be broadcast via live streaming, and is expected to reach a potential audience of several million in Spain and across the world."
How anyone proposes incorporating these suggestions into any sort of natural-sounding English translation... Please feel free.
