Event – 18/08/2010 at 24 Moons (AC/DC Lane – off Flinders Lane – Melbourne)
Although YouTube is the second largest search engine and the average Australian spends over 1hr every week on YouTube alone, online video only attracted 4% of display advertising in Q3 2009.
This month we bring together Simon Goodrich from Portable Content, Suzie O’Carroll from YouTube & Nick Bolton of Viocorp to discuss why the advertising dollars aren’t following the audience, how marketers are doing it right and how Australians are consuming the medium.
Come and participate the discussion with our top panelists:
- Simon Goodrich – MD of Portable and National president AIMIA
- Nick Bolton – GM Viocorp http://www.viocorp.com
- Suzie O’Carroll – Industry Manager – YouTube
