If a picture speaks a thousand words, how many can a video shout? At Campaign’s upcoming breakfast briefing we look at one of the central pillars of today’s media and communications market.
The morning event will cover some of the most talked about challenges in video today, from viewer preferences to emerging platforms and production challenges.
Boasting a stage – and audience – packed with industry experts, the event will be a great place to meet and debate the issues and opportunities you are facing, while meeting old friends and new contacts and finding out how they are addressing them.
