“Strategically scheduled a week after the Emmys, the event will draw the elite from the entire content ecosystem from showrunners, marketers, producers and sellers all facing the new reality of the business in dealing with production costs, windowing and licensing,”JP Bommel is president and CEO at NATPE.
The conversations at NATPE streaming+ will focus on four key areas: content creation, collaboration and monetization. Kelly Metz, Omnicom Media Group’s managing director for advanced TV activation, will host the keynote discussion on the future of streaming advertising.
