Closing Keynote: Internet Superstar, Live at ad:tech

There’s a whole lot more to Web video than just Star Wars kids and cats riding donkeys. The spectacle of user generated content is being augmented and supplanted by professionally produced short and long-form programs that are delivering high-quality repeatable experiences that are aggregating big audiences – in many cases surpassing the audiences of many cable TV shows. Predominantly viewed by the coveted 18 to 34-year -old demographic, these shows provide information, entertainment and inspiration that’s outside of normal video formats. In this special closing keynote, we bring this new world of video-based entertainment to you, with a special live taping of the popular Internet talk show “Internet Superstar”. We’ll show you what this new world of Web video programming looks like, introduce you to four of the hottest stars of the new media, and explore how you can leverage these programs to deliver tremendous benefit to your clients and your company. It’ll be a wild, no-holds barred hour of pure entertainment – with a good deal of useful information tossed into the mix as well. Discover the future of television, by attending this rollicking live Internet Superstar!

HOST:
Martin Sargent, Director of Comedy Programming, Revision3

First Standards and Guidelines To Be Presented at ADM Forum at ad:tech San Francisco

Washington, DC (PR WEB) March 10, 2008 — The Association for Downloadable Media (ADM) announced today the appointment of a special advertising agency liaison to the organization, along with the confirmation of a fourteen-member Ad Council, comprised of media professionals from leading interactive advertising agencies.

The council will act as a sounding board for the ADM committees, which are creating downloadable media advertising standards and guidelines. David Herscott, President of San Diego-based interactive agency MEA Digital, has been appointed the liaison between the Ad Council of media strategists and the ADM committee chairs.

The Association for Downloadable Media is committed to advancing its charter: creating a landscape favorable to the commercialization of portable media. The ADM’s focus includes revenue generation from advertising and sponsorships of audio and video podcasts, (aka vidcasts, or vlogs), and other digital content distributed via RSS, ATOM, peer-to-peer, mobile devices, downloads from Web sites and other platforms to come.
