What it’s about

The consumer relationship to video content is rapidly evolving and your strategy should be too. From TikTok to Tubi to Roku to RMNs – video’s dominance across the media ecosystem is undeniable. Learn how to plan your creative approach to better connect with the new role video plays in the customer journey, and the shifting formats and channels that are shaping purchase behaviors. 

Join us in September to hone your video strategy instincts and knowledge as industry leaders share their insights for marketing leaders, media planners, and brand strategists navigating the evolving media landscape.   

We’ll discuss things like: 

  • Where video fits in the new user journey (and what to do about limited production budgets) 
  • How to navigate the blurred lines between paid, owned, and earned, and how that impacts performance storytelling with clients and team leaders 
  • What to do about growing consumer investment in social commerce and livestream shopping
  • Why experts think addressableTV is poised to grow (and what that means for the future of measurement) 
  • What is FAST and why should we care?
