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

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 summer 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.

How have innovative ad spenders tackled their cross-network campaigns, where did they run, what measurement tools did they leverage and why is it no longer a one-size-fits-all plan?

Activities

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! 

Tuesday 2 p.m.

Axe Throwing at Urban Axes

Join fellow summit attendees at Urban Axes for a fun afternoon. The sport of axe throwing was invented about 5 minutes after the first axe was created, however it was traditionally undertaken in the outdoors, far away from urban environments. Our aim is to take axe throwing out of the woods and into the bright lights of the big city, by presenting you with ... Urban Axe Throwing!

Tuesday 2 p.m.

Golf at Barton Creek: Fazio Canyons Course

Consistently listed in the top 100 public courses you can play in the U.S., Fazio Canyons is one for your golf course bucket list. A signature of legendary golf designer Tom Fazio with its winding streams and creeks, limestone-bedded canyons and captivating Hill Country views. Embodying the Fazio trademark of protecting and preserving the environment, Canyons was the first resort course in Texas to be certified as an Audubon International Signature Sanctuary. An amazing golfing experience.


Wednesday 2 p.m.

Brewery Tour

This experience takes you around the city doing all kinds of cool beer-related activities. Starting off at Zilker Brewing Co, you will get to taste a few samples of beer made in house, and learn how beer is made. Once we’ve mastered the basics, you’ll tour Central District Brewing Co for a lesson on commercial beer-making. Next we will head to one of Austin’s coolest breweries, Lazarus Brewery located in the heart of East Austin. If you’re looking for a fun day out networking with other Summit attendees, this is the event for you! Shuttle service will be provided. Please meet in the lobby at 2pm sharp to catch the shuttle.

Wednesday 2 p.m.

Golf at Barton Creek - Crenshaw Course

When two-time Masters Champion and Austin native Ben Crenshaw partnered with architect Bill Coore to design this course, he adhered to his design philosophy that “the best architect is nature.” With lush, wide sweeping fairways lined by densely packed trees that will devour errant tee shots, the Coore Crenshaw Cliffside course challenges golfers with its approach to large, well-contoured greens. The layout is forgiving for the novice, yet still challenging for the seasoned golfer.

Wednesday 2 p.m.

Kayak on Lady Bird Lake

Experience the scenic and beautiful Austin from the unique perspective of your kayak on this 2-hour tour.  Paddle along and discover some of Austin's great landmarks, including Barton Springs, the Congress Avenue Bridge (famous for it's 2 million bats), the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue, and the Austin boardwalk. The tour is a mix of history, new landmarks in the expanding Austin skyline and we also include a little information about the wildlife in the area.
