Welcome and Opening Remarks
Date/Time: 8:45 AM
Panel: A Tail Of Two Kinds of Video
Date/Time: 2:15 PM
While big media companies are pushing to define the online video marketplace as the kind of professionally-produced content available on TV, with industry-defined formats and platforms, the consumer defines online video as video – be it a home movie gone viral or a clip from a popular TV show. That’s a challenge -- and an opportunity -- for advertisers and agencies, who need to develop online video strategies -- and mixes -- based on long-tail, mid-tail and big publisher content. According to industry stats, 85% of U.S. Internet users view online video, but only 14% of online videos have some form of advertising attached to them. Closing that gap will be critical to online video’s success.
