Our most recent Naked Media show was broadcast live from the offices of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, a partner on the Naked Media WebTV series. Show host Dorian Benkoil sat down with IAB president and CEO Randall Rothenberg in the segment above.
You can also watch the interview with Magnify.net CEO Steve Rosenbaum and Blip.TV co-founder and COO Dina Kaplan.
The show was our first from the IAB offices as part of our new partnership with the organization. We first sat down with IAB president and CEO Randall Rothenberg to get his take on why “advertising is creepy,” as the IAB says in its new campaign to fend off privacy legislation, and talked about other industry trends and news.
Then we were joined by the founder and head of video platform Magnify.net, Steve Rosenbaum, and Dina Kaplan, co-founder of Blip.TV. We talked about what is and isn’t working in video, about trends in curation and aggregation, details of sponsorship and revenue, and, of course audience questions.
Plus, as always, Dorian’s “Shallow Thoughts” on the media.
