That’s why it pays to be “on the ground” in New York City during the Digital Content NewFronts, according to Janine Cross of Philadelphia-based Harmelin Media.

In this interview with Beet.TV, the independently owned agency’s VP of Digital talks about the need for vigilance and third-party verification in the digital media ecosystem and why “everyone is making that bet that video is the future of digital.”
