New and Improved? New Screens, New Data, New Formats

Follow the Live Stream here.

Consumers are changing the way they view video, and it’s important for brands and advertisers to keep up. The streaming economy is no longer just for millennials and techies. It’s now a mainstream part of the media experience. As audiences move away from traditional cable television, viewers are more and more relying on free video streaming services like Crackle and IMDb as well as subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) from providers like Netflix and Hulu.

 

Two game-changing streaming services were also recently launched from media titans Disney and Apple with the highly anticipated NBCUniversal’s Peacock and WarnerMedia’s HBO Max set to debut in spring. All of this is happening within a fragmented landscape with no universal measurement system. Not to mention the regulatory challenges media buyers and planners are currently facing.

 

At the annual spring edition of MediaPost’s TV & Video Insider Summit we’ll navigate these unchartered streams by venturing into…

 

How brands and advertisers are planning cross-platform campaigns without the benefit of a unified measurement system.

 

Why brands must look at as many insights as possible from an abundance of consumer touchpoints in order to off-set the current data-challenged landscape.

 

How the ad-supported market is shaking out versus non-subscription, and are we running out of inventory?

 

How advertisers are strategically diversifying their media strategy for optimal budget efficiency and consumer experience.

 

How advertisers are implementing more innovative ways to reach consumers in a fragmented and over saturated marketplace.

 
 

At MediaPost’s spring gathering of TV and video gurus we go directly to the people who are planning, buying and navigating today’s constantly changing environment.


 

About TV & Video Insider Summit

The TV & Video Insider Summit is a three-day event that brings together the brightest minds in the business to share leading-edge information and experiences in a think-tank environment, while exploring new technology, strategies and tactics in TV and video. For the Summit we bring in 50 top Marketing and Ad Agency buyers responsible for TV and video marketing strategies and budgets to network, debate and share best practices.

Attendance for the Summits is capped to ensure conversations, learnings and overall experiences are intimate, productive and highly useful. Each day is comprised of high-impact content sessions in the morning coupled with unmatched networking activities in the afternoons. We return each evening with Cocktail receptions, fine Dining experiences, and After-hours fun.

The end result is a highly unique format that's intimate, inclusive and memorable on all fronts - an experience that allows everyone the opportunity to build REAL relationships well beyond that of a simple exchange of a business card.

Golf at Barton Creek: Fazio Foothills course

Recently named the #3 top course you can play in Texas by Golf Magazine, Fazio Foothills continues to impress golf experts and rack up prestigious awards. 

Best described as a roller-coaster ride through the Texas Hill Country (without the screaming) by the Golf Channel’s Matt Ginella, the resort’s signature track and most dramatic course offers elevated tee boxes and a thrilling ride down to the fairways and greens, protected by cliffs, creeks and waterfalls.  Newly renovated, Fazio Foothills offers a challenging but fair layout with acres and acres of beautiful scenery that exemplifies the Texas Hill Country!

Tuesday 2 p.m.

Cruise on Lake Austin

Enjoy the beauty of Lake Austin and its surroundings on this fun and scenic cruise. Located just minutes from downtown, what it lacks in size, it makes up for in proximity and charm.  You’ll see tons of multi-million dollar homes, the famous 360/Pennybacker bridge and Austin Country Club, site of the annual Dell Match Play golf tournament each spring.  Refreshments and great networking abound with your fellow Summiters.  A memorable excursion, for sure!

Once we’ve mastered the basics, you'll tour Thirsty Planet Brewery for a lesson on commercial beer-making. Next we head to one of Austin’s coolest breweries for a blind beer tasting game. If you’re looking for a fun day out networking with other Summit attendees, this is the event for you!

Axe Throwing at Urban Axes

Join fellow summit attendees at Urban Axes for a fun afternoon.
