Believe It: We Charted the Future of Digital Video, from the Caribbean
Via an underwater fiber that carried our live stream produced by Dailymotion to a global audience — and via the publication and syndication of some seventy-five clips across our syndication platform, I believe we have helped our industry set its agenda.

From framing the future of video journalism, to charting the unfolding world of programmatic buying; from undertanding the power of interactive advertising, to the emerging world of branded content, the Beet.TV executive retreat in Vieques last month created an industry-setting dialogue which has traveled far beyond a conference room at the W hotel on the remote Caribbean island. You can find some of the video clips from the retreat linked to the participants listed below. Andy Plesser Working on that right now!
