I recently covered the Chicago Interactive Marketing Associations’ panel discussion – Creative, Technology, Media, and Analytics. The panelists of senior industry leaders debated on how creative, technology, media & analytics are converging more in interactive video marketing; and how agencies can overcome the limitations of video measurement towards client buy-in.
As 2009 unfolds, three things about online video become clear:
1.) With over 17 Billion monthly videos watched in the US alone (according to comScore) and steady month-over-month growth, video is here to stay.
2.) Video exhibits classic long-tail distribution — while YouTube remains the dominant player, video is rapidly moving from destination-sites to the rest of the web, and from Media and Entertainment into the enterprise, with millions of sites streaming video as the new mode of communication.
3.) The conversation is shifting from the technological aspects to the value aspects: not how to build a player or convert between formats but, rather, how to foster audience engagement, drive business values, increase collaboration, and monetize these billions of streams.
This Thursday June 18th I’m covering the Chicago Interactive Marketing Association’s (CIMA) event titled “Creative, Technology, Media, and Analytics.” I recently interviewed several of the scheduled panelists, about their research and opinions on the business direction they see online video taking, agencies’ and marketers’ opportunities and challenges with greater client acceptance of online video into their campaign budgets, and clients’ growing interest and importance of SEO in video campaigns. Listen to the podcast interview below with panelist Elisabeth Bleser of Incognito Digital for extended pre-event coverage.

Last week, I had the honor of speaking at the first annual Liveclicker Video Commerce Summit in Seattle, WA. I was asked to discuss and present video search engine optimization and to help educate the audience on best practices for publishing online video in a search engine friendly manner. The title, was Video + SEO – Not Smoke and Mirrors, Just Best Practices for E-commerce Video Publishing. With that in mind, there are slides that are specifically geared towards e-commerce but the concepts and tactics apply across the board for publishing online video.
Tune in, for live coverage of the Open Video Conference happening June 19-20.
Recently an old friend of my from my college days contacted me about a video contest his son and daughter in-law were finalists in, and he asked me if I would vote for their videos on the site. Turns out the contest was hosted by intuit, the company well-known for their personal and small-business finance software products, which has built a growing presence with their web-based tools, services, and communities for small businesses.
