The emerging preference perfectly

illustrates the way technology

sometimes brings about radical

aesthetic reconsideration on art and

media — and causes a lot of

heartache for old-timers in the

process.

‘YouTube is not an audition room for legacy media’

These guys aren’t ‘TV stars in waiting’, – they aren’t waiting for

a break to get on TV.

It has to be mindful of the fact that they are social talent, born

of a digital platform.

They have honed their craft on YouTube and all these doors

are now opening to see what they are capable of on other

platforms.’

Think about the best way to target them

Digital platforms don’t exist for advertising; respect the audience

Don’t look at video simply as an extension of display or worse search.

Think of it as part of your A/V toolkit

Advertisers have to embrace the reason why people are online - be

where your audience are...on a global scale

Digital Video has the ability, done well, to be the most powerful

medium for brands

To do this well, you need the support of your media & creative agency
