ViaVideo - Engage via Video

The Future of Online Video for Marketing and Advertising
by: Jeanne Mayeux

The line between what is online video and TV is quickly fading. People can watch most TV programs across on their mobile phone, laptop, iPad etc. through sources such as Hulu, Netflix, and even the networks' own websites. We can watch and share web videos on our flat screen TV via GoogleTV or Apple TV. So I think we're getting close to dropping the ‘online’ from online video. Television and the Internet are on a collision course.

Hyper-fragmentation of these audiences is providing new opportunities for advertisers to find the exact audience that is riveted to their message. This lean forward audience wants to hear their message.

Web platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo have leveled the playing field, giving the little guy the same chance at exposure that the established content creators have always had a monopoly on. The key is to be original and to really use the web medium to its fullest potential.

Video marketers and advertisers will be able to take advantage of web video by making their "ads" destination content by taking advantage of what the Internet can do. For example ads that allow viewers to choose the ending: Like Zombie Pizza Delivery from a NZ pizza restaurant.

OR audience participation like Subservient Chicken from Burger King.
