Video At The Upfront: Building The Video Everywhere Vision
As video becomes completely untethered, the media strategist and planner is faced with a host of options, risks, and business challenges. At the first Video Insider Summit we bring together some of the leading agency, media, marketing and technology executives to get upfront with the new reality of multi-screen video buying and planning. Where is their money best invested? What emerging technologies in creative, distribution, automated buying and attribution are and are not working. And how does the blurring of old media lines affect the structures and business of the modern agency itself?

The prospect of ‘video everywhere’ sounds alluring in theory, but putting it into practice is a job for professionals with experience with the digital foundations they helped build. It is time for a summit where the best and the brightest will show how the digital video story unfolds.
The next TV season is already here for agency buyers and planners. But is it really just about TV anymore? As sight, sound and motion migrate freely across big and small screens, on demand and live, in short and long forms – isn’t it really about rich storytelling everywhere? The old buckets of media buying are leaking into one another, upsetting all of the usual disciplines: planning, pricing, measurement, attribution and creative. As video proliferates across VOD, handhelds and tablets, over-the-top devices and more, agencies come into this year’s Upfront season with a much broader set of options and considerations than ever before. 15s or 30s? Pre-rolls? Branded longer messaging? Web show or channel sponsorships? Social distribution? Video is the best way brands tells stories, but where and in what forms do you and your clients get the return on their investment and develop the best relationships with customers? What does a video strategy look like when screens are available everywhere?
