Since its launch in 2006, Beet.TV has been considered an essential media chronicle of the digital video revolution. In recent years, it has deeply reported on ad-tech innovation and the transformation of television.
Unlike a traditional publisher, Beet.TV uses video to serve as a “virtual meeting place” where the industry “meets” to learn and share with colleagues through a form factor of short, direct videos.
It also creates unique, high level industry events. However, due to the pandemic, it is not creating events or covering physical events in 2020.
Beet.TV tells its stories with short, well-edited and informational videos. The videos break news, report on industry developments and spot the trends. Up close and personal, the videos provide unique insight into the passion and point of view of industry influencers.
