New 2009 Marketing With Video Report - Online, TV & Mobile Video Marketing

video-marketing-guideEvery once in a while, I come across a paid whitepaper or research report that I think is important enough to share with readers.  With that in mind, last week I learned about a newly released report about marketing with video that is, by far, the most comprehensive and definitive guide that I have read to-date when it pertains to video advertising and video marketing.

MarketingSherpa, a well-known and highly respected resource for research related to marketing efforts, just released their first-ever report that is focused on the fast-growing landscape of video marketing, titled, “Marketing With Video Report: Online, TV & Mobile.” I cannot even begin to tell you how impressed I am with this report.   In all honesty, I found myself overcome with feelings of envy and admiration when reading this report.  I wish I had written it myself, all 400 or so pages ;-)

Personalized Video Discovery & Monetization - An Overview of Taboola

taboola_logoTaboola.com is one of an ever-growing list of video aggregation services. So why should you be reading about it? Well they do a little more than some of the others. Not only are they organizing the videos for the users to find more easily, they’re also working towards making things better for the publishers and the advertisers. You might think of Taboola as the point where the three pieces of online video monetization meet - producer, advertiser, consumer.


Usability Standards for Web Video (Where the hell are they??)

Grants RantMost companies producing online video content aren’t giving enough consideration to the end user’s experience with the video they’re watching. Despite the huge business growth of online video, not a single major usability organization or video solutions provider has put out any publicly available ‘best practices’ information on the web video experience for the end user!

Listen to my podcast on web video usability.

Video Trademark Copycats on YouTube – Legal or Illegal?

pushtube-screenshotThere is a growing trend of online video companies that are featuring derivatives of the YouTube logo for their own brand;. Perhaps this is done to imply to customers and prospects of  a special business affiliation the company has with YouTube, and also an implied advantage in the search results for their video content. Is this an acceptable use of the YouTube trademark –  a business practice that’s savvy and effective? Or, its it unfair, and perhaps illegal? We interview two intellectual property attorneys for their take on these issues.


Interview with John Love of SpotMixer - Online Video for SMBs
