    Over 50% of US Population Watches Video Online - Are You Missing the Advertising Opportunity?

    More than a Quarter of Advertisers Use Online Video for Product and Service Promotion

    New York, NY - July 21, 2008 - It is projected that US marketers will spend over $4.3 billion to reach the online video audience in 2011, as the high engagement factor, combined with the Internet's tracking and targeting capabilities, offers a valuable revenue stream and a highly accountable method for brand advertisers to sway the hearts and minds of target audiences.

    Speakers from Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Jupiter Media, Digitas, YouTube, Deep Focus, Campfire, IQ Interactive, Hulu, comScore, and others, will lend firsthand insight on how to jump into the online video advertising realm and reap immediate benefits.

"An intensive all-day conference such as this one offers the ideal setting for gaining practical skills you can apply the very next day to maximize your video advertising dollars."
