There is no straight line from planning a textual or pictorial display ad campaigns to doing so for video, says one video ad tech exec.

“A lot of the technologies that were built and deployed in the online display world don’t translate well in to video,” says Videology‘s development SVP Brent Gaskamp.

“Some people have come in and said ‘I’m used to doing everything like I did in display’. We have to move away from silos and have to look at the world through horizonalization – especially in video

“If you look at the lumascape that exists in the online world and bring the complexity … in to video, it’s a very hard equation to solve.”

Gaskamp was interviewed by Furious Minds CEO Ashley J. Swartz at Beet.TV’s annual executive retreat in Vieques, Puerto Rico.
