Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

Come learn about new interactive ad concepts that leverage the power of the Windows Media Center platform to provide an experience that goes well beyond the thirty second video ad and pre-rolls. In this session we cover the ad concepts that are being developed by the Media Center team for the 10ft space and discuss the rationale and assumptions behind them. We take a look at the advertising benefits of this approach which include better measurement, targeting, and increased engagement through interactivity.

Industry Assumptions Being TestedDrive to specific points of feedback

10' ads will be different from 2' adsEvolution preferred over revolution

:30’s are still main event enhanced by new capabilities

Introduce ‘Bug’ as an ad PromotionExpose interactivity w/o consumer clicksUse animation to educate consumers about interactive ‘intentions’ of the bug

Click to Return vs. TimerLeave Behind ‘substitute’
