An Upfront for Web Video Shows

Online video news and review site Tilzy.TV plans to host a Web video upfront for Web shows and media buyers in early June in New York with Generate CEO Jordan Levin slated as the keynote speaker for the event.

The event is designed to showcase the top Web shows for brands and Tilzy expects media buyers from most major media agencies to attend.

The June 9 “OnFronts” will also include presentations from digital studios such as My DamnChannel, Next New Networks, Revision3 and others.

For all the details on why this matters and how it compares to other digital upfronts, check out this week’s edition of the New Media Minute with Daisy Whitney.

Why are they using an old broken model to push digital content? Do they have a track record?

I think Daisy nails it at the end when she mentions that it’s a “familiar” format for ad folks. It may be a on old model and many of us would like to be doing things differently, but if producers want ad dollars, they have to play the advertisers’ game, no matter how antiquated.
