While the business of streaming platforms is still finding its footing, opportunities to share short form video are expanding. Netflix, Amazon and Hulu have entered the market for premium short programming, eager to spur growth and engage young viewers on mobile. Then there are short-form-first ventures including Snapchat’s new Originals, ATTN and new mobile video venture Quibi – places to excite and entice viewers with snackable programming and branded content. What are the best platform partners? Where will content most likely get discovered - and shared - by the target demo? Experts will offer insights and case studies for optimizing video in today’s fast-changing landscape.
It’s simple: Advertisers are looking for thumb-stoppable content in a brand safe environment. But how can you deliver a marketer’s message without looking like a commercial? What’s the sweet spot when it comes to length? And what are the measurement metrics that matter?
Advertiser and agency execs will explain what they are looking for from short form producers, from pitch to final product.
