Sight, Sound, and (e)Motion

Video & TV are the hottest sectors in marketing. And for good reason - Aside from the largest share of marketing budget, there's nothing like sight, sound and (e)motion to connect with consumers and motivate them to care, consider, and buy. This iMedia Summit is all about video, synergies with traditional television and a deep dive into the platforms, formats, and ecosystem that's rapidly changing the space. Talk of 4-screen as a new phenomenon was the rage last year, but now ubiquitous digital video consumption is the norm, and it's happening new places like in-theatre and store aisles. It's particularly timely given that it falls at the launch of the upfront season. It's about practical solutions for video opportunities, all outside of video's very traditional legacy. You'll learn:

• How convergence will impact the 2012 upfront season.
.
• What are the latest advances in video and social tv, including insight into how marketers need to adapt (measurement, content creation, buying models).
• Traditional TV Buyers / Digital Video Buyers? What sales model works in partnership for fluidity of cross device video marketing?
• What's the true value of branded entertainment, and how to execute on smart content development.
• How do you enrich the consumer's brand experience in an environment where video now coexists with every single activity, and across every single platform, in their daily lives?

From bed to the bus, from Los Angeles to New York, consumers are embracing all the various video platforms available to them. Join iMedia in March where we put everything surrounding cross-platform video upfront and centerstage.
