Video Market Dynamics, Innovations and Trends
When?Wednesday, July 1st
3:00 - 4:00 PM CET
The easing of lockdown restrictions in many markets does not herald a return to ‘normal’ for those in the business of video advertising. Recent months have seen fundamental shifts in appetite and consumption from audiences, which publishers and tech companies must anticipate and respond to. Local content has increased in importance, as has the need for quality, brand-safe video inventory that audiences know they can trust. This session will outline how brands can ensure they reach local audiences on the sites that matter in their market, with the use of innovative video advertising formats and techniques.
