Monetizing Long-Form Video (panelist)
Everyone has heard about ways that online video can be monetized, but has anyone ever heard an actual case study depicting success in video monetization?

With the rise of Hulu and major syndication deals making long form video more prominent, if not prolific online, what is working today for content owners and portals that want to monetize this format? This session will show actual success stories with actionable takeaways, as well as a discussion of what the future holds for the success of long-form content.
