So I had to miss Rupert this morning. Too much work :)



  • By 2010 90% broadband penetration (eMarketer)

  • 70% of people have seen a video ad (according to the OPA 2006)

  • 45% of those people took action (according to the OPA 2006)

  • Between 05 and 06 the DVR market grew over 100%


  • Moorhead

    • Video Platform Fragmented. Advertisers are asking for advice on buying and measurement.

    • So far the market is underwhelming

    • Pre roll as stop gap while we try to figure out what is a better way to be relevant

    • Adapting one  model and “jamming” into another a problem

    • Seeking better ways to deliver value

    • Levi’s Program- Shooting video for specific for internet. They were not used to the interactive agency requesting video content creation. Generally they just hand over the 30 second spot.

    • Finding ad models that are sensitive to users

    • Taking advantage of some of the unique characteristics- Video Tagging, Hotspotting etc.

    • Changing the ad medium to a pull style ad model like other interactive models




  • Morgan

    • Core of what CBS news does.

    • Conscious decision not to go with a paid model



      • That is what tv sellers did and what they were used to



    • Agrees that the pre-roll is not as effective as they want it to be

    • Go where the consumers are- syndication “take the content to where the consumers are”

    • Micro Syndication

    • CBS on upfront- It is still around and very powerful.



  • Parker



    • Video central to what CNET is doing

    • Nothing de mystifies tech like video

    • Pre roll is the easy go to component

    • Vendor Content a possible solution where users are willingly downloading submitted videos

    • Good creative can overcome users try to escape ads

    • Context can travel with video

    • CNET TV- Serialized programming




  • Card

    • The most exciting thing with online video is You Tube…

    • Primary way to find things is through recommendations

    • 2 of the 3 top videos on You Tube are ads




  • Dunn

    • Re aggregation of audience into verticals




Mobile



  • Still pretty tiny in the US at this point

  • SMS is a larger part of mobile

  • It doesn’t have to be graphical or site based

  • “this year we will be lucky if it is the year of distribution” Moorhead referring to mobile

  • “it is good to set up the machinery in order to incorporate mobile” Moorheard

  • Where else can we ad value to a brand other than advertising

  • Mobile as a response channel

  • Using mobile as an accountability piece as part of a print, or outdoor ad

  • Mobile huge opportunity for UGC

  • Blogs as tools for listening – Moorhead


A great question from Jeff Jarvis as well, too bad I was so excited he was there that I did not even hear the question :)
