Cross-Platform Media Opportunities


When: Tuesday, November 19, 2002

It's been called "one stop-shopping", but is it really that simple? Aiming to create sales opportunities across different types of media for advertisers has been the buzz of the industry. Has the changing business environment created the need for cross-platform media opportunities? This seminar consisted of a lively discussion and we heard what experts think as we examined this alternate way of selling, explored the pros and cons, saw how its effectiveness can be measured, and looked into future trends. The panel was moderated by Mediaweek Senior Editor, Katy Bachman. This picture of the event is also available in the Photo Gallery.
