From On Demand to Always On – How to Reach and Engage a Mobile Audience. Limelight Networks and MTV Networks Talk Mobile Video — still available via recorded webcast and presentationWhat a difference a year makes. Remember when the iPhone had the app store market cornered? When there wasn’t a Droid, or a Nexus One? A Kin, or an Incredible? When there wasn’t a Nook, or an iPad, or a Slate? The mobile market is changing, and content publishers face a world of complexity in delivering media to audiences on the go.
Limelight Networks CTO of Mobility and Monetization Solutions Jonathan Cobb and MTV Networks Senior Director of Product Development Todd Kennedy discuss evolving market conditions, mobile strategy considerations, and real-world examples of mobile media success.
The webcast covers:
- Media delivery to mobile browsers and mobile apps across a wide array of devices
- A range of publisher scenarios from premium television delivery to “how-to” video streams
- A list of variables to consider when forming a mobile strategy, as well as recommendations for implementation and monetization
- An in-depth look at how MTV Networks has expanded into mobile delivery with many of its well-known television brands
