Streaming Media – Convergence of Social media and online video panel discussion and talk that the use of
video delivery with social functionality – blogs, wikis, tagging and video responses – to name a few, are exploding in popularity.

What’s the business value? The panelists debate whether social media presents real business opportunities for publishers or is just a fad without true ROI potential.

Businesses that are looking to implement video or make more effective use of it should definitely listen and take bullet points away or review strategy.

“Over 50% of the broadband usage in Europe is video”, said Fernando Gil del Bernabé from Cisco Systems. And yet a large portion of online video have not embraced social media features.

The Return of the Sponsor: Programming Brand Integration Keeping production budgets afloat with the help of Corporate America.

Speakers, lineup, contributors and moderators include:

Adam Armus, Executive Producer, Heroes (NBC), talks about the role of Brand integration in Heroes and also how the internet and mobile have affected how the show is produced and how brands benefit from the extension, from the net and mobile handheld audience, long after the programmed has finished airing via broadcast.

With companies looking to reassess and re apportion their marketing and ad spend instead of buying airtime between programmes, they look to be involved in spending and investing in tv or films to connect with their audience and have a cheaper way of reaching a more targeted demographic or consumer.

This becoming an important way to get production funding for projects and will play an increasing in AFP (advertiser funded productions/programmes). As Adam Armus, Executive Producer of Heroes pointed out this does not allow the sponsor to dictate or revise scripts or influence production in way to dilute the programme offering.

It would be great to hear your views especially those of you involved in production and creating branded video projects.
