INDUSTRY TRENDS AND DYNAMICS
4 Summer 2013Digital Video Report
Online & Mobile Video OverviewVideo content spans all connected devices – smartphones, tablets, connected TVs and OTT platforms, and even including wearable technologies – delivering a perpetually always-on digital video audience
Digital video – with its comparatively small production budgets and unlimited distribution – has democratized content creation and turned audiences global, allowing upstarts to scale rapidly and compete with traditional incumbents for audience engagement and advertising spend
Multi-channel networks in particular have sought to capitalize on the proliferation of content creators, leveraging YouTube as a distribution platform and attempting to differentiate via defined verticals and ancillary services (advertising, analytics tools, etc.)
With users increasingly accessing their chosen content across multiple platforms, digital video adtechcompanies have been responding accordingly by expanding their product and service suite to support cross-platform functionality and programmatic media buying / selling
5 Summer 2013Digital Video Report
Online & Mobile Video OverviewThe way customers access video content continues to change as the functionality in both mobile applications and gaming consoles are further developed ― Non-Desktop video views, a combination of both mobile applications and game consoles, accounted for 19.0%
of all views in Q1 2013 in the US, up from only 3.0% in Q1 2012― As a result, desktop video minutes per viewer is down 5% in YoY growth as consumers increasingly use non-
desktop devices to stream contentThe industry is characterized by various subsectors and unique monetization strategies― YouTube and other destination sites (e.g., DailyMotion) aside, multi-channel networks (MCNs), social video
and over-the-top (OTT) video platforms have all emerged as prominent players― Prominent MCNs Fullscreen and Maker Studios recently received $30.0 million and $26.0 million in investment
led by the Chernin Group and Canal+ / SingTel Innov8, respectively

13 Summer 2013Digital Video Report
Online & Mobile Video TrendsDespite early concerns that consumers would resist utilizing mobile devices for long-form video, both mobile and tablet video users spent more than half of their total online viewing time watching videos longer than 10 minutes― Previously, analytics focused on the number of views a piece of video content had accumulated, yet recent
studies indicate that the number of minutes watched per view is a more relevant metric― The growing popularity of long-form viewing on online and mobile devices allows for more opportunities to
include mid-roll ads within this contentAs mobile screens proliferate globally, we expect that consumer video consumption will continue to evolve as a more mobile, multi-platform experience

MULTI-CHANNEL NETWORKS
15 Summer 2013Digital Video Report
Multi-Channel Network OverviewMCNs provide the production, marketing and technology infrastructure to original content channels for a percentage of the revenues generated ― By joining MCNs, video content creators can expand their audience through cross-promotion executed across
the massive group of channels aggregated by each firm― MCN’s scale allows for revenue and cost synergies, as well as removing a lot of the challenges small content
creators faceMCN’s distinct business model is attracting interest from both large corporations and notable VC firms
Milestone Fundings for MCNs
YouTube renewed its contract with VEVO and has taken a 7% stake in the company for a $40-50 million investment
Maker Studios turned down a nine-figure acquisition offer to close a $36.0 million investment led by Time Warner Investments in 2012 and raised an additional $26.0 million in August 2013
Fullscreen raised $30.0 million in Series A funding led by the Chernin Group in June 2013
In July 2013, Base79 secured a multi-million dollar funding, actual amount undisclosed, led by Evolution Media Growth Partners
Tastemade raised $10.0 million in Series B funding led by Raine Venture Partners in August 2013 Machinima closed $35.0 million in venture round
funding led by Google in May 2012 and is rumored to be seeking another $80.0 million from large studios (e.g., WB and Paramount)

MCNs Total Unique Visitors and Number of Views
17 Summer 2013Digital Video Report
Industry Challenges for Multi-Channel NetworksBecause music makes up the largest share of the MCN market, developers must consider legal obstacles to maintain unique visitors and earnings― Fullscreen was sued in August 2013 by the National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) for copyright
infringement of videos― Maker Studios also settled a lawsuit with the NMPA and will pay music publishers for past and future
infringementsUtilizing MCNs requires a trade-off on behalf of the content publisher― Ad revenue is often deferred to network providers in exchange for greater exposure and marketing
Access to high-end equipment and resources allowing for better quality video productionSignificantly increased marketing support and endorsementOpportunity for cross-promotion between channels within the network
Forgo advertising revenue generated from channel contentForfeit merchandise revenue due to profit split with MCNPotential loss of freedom in producing original content

18 Summer 2013Digital Video Report
Industry Challenges for Multi-Channel NetworksNetworks poaching other networks’ clients is proving to be dangerous to the industry ― Some MCNs are beginning to prioritize poaching big-name channels and popular YouTube personalities over
developing the quality of their current talentPoaching talent and co-opting material from other networks has the potential to drive up the percent of revenue share that MCNs split with talent, which limits long term financial benefits of acquiring new talent― MCNs currently have a net revenue margin of around 16.5% (after profit splits with both YouTube and Talent)
and further compression could prove challenging to achieving both profitability and future growth prospects

19 Summer 2013Digital Video Report
Industry Challenges for Multi-Channel NetworksMCNs may become less advantageous as different applications emerge offering similar analytics― Google Chrome’s free extension, VidIQ, offers video analytics to help content producers maximize audiences
― For each video, VidIQ tracks and displays watch time, social media shares and VidIQ score, which determines how likely a video is to show up in YouTube’s related, recommended and search categories
― This may prove threatening to Fullscreen, which has a differentiated product among MCNs, offering key data analytics, tools and support
― Optimizing videos through third-party applications may deliver increases in a video’s exposure comparable with what MCNs provide
While incumbent MCNs have their own challenges, new or aspiring MCNs face enormous hurdles and barriers to enter the market, including the scale already achieved by incumbents, as well as large funding disadvantages― The first MCNs were able to capitalize on YouTube’s Partner Grants program which allocated an initial $5.0
million to help spur the creation of original content― Many feel the “land grab” is largely complete – so new networks have to attract talent away from the large
players – which will prove costly

20 Summer 2013Digital Video Report
Multi-Channel Networks Reduce Dependency on YouTubeBoth Youtube creators and MCNs feel that YouTube’s ad revenue splits are overbearing, curtailing the industry’s growth potential and causing MCNs to seek strategic alternatives― Fullscreen and VEVO remain the only MCNs rumored to be profitable
Although YouTube is currently the foundation for all MCNs, leading networks are seeking ways of diversifying their content onto other platforms― Maker Studios recently acquired Blip Networks and will integrate it into their multi-media platform as an
independent destination site (Fullscreen is also exploring this possibility) ― Machinima announced in July 2013 that it wants to raise $80.0 million to launch its own online video platform
subscription service with premium original content
Founded in 2009, VEVO operates as an online music video platform In March 2013, VEVO announced the release of a 24-hour programmed channel, called VEVO TV, consisting of music-themed original shows supplementing blocks of videos grouped by genre
Although Maker Studios represents a wide range of channels, they established themselves as a top network in the gaming vertical in August 2013 with a re-launch of their gaming channel, PolarisMaker Studios, unhappy with YouTube’s revenue share agreement, acquired Blip Networks which will serve as an independent destination site
Fullscreen differentiates itself from other MCNs by providing its creators with technical toolsAfter Fullscreen secured $30.0 million in a round of Series A funding led by the Chernin Group, co-founder George Strompolosconfirmed that while Fullscreen is currently known as a network of YouTube creators, they are on the path of evolving into a studio
Source: Variety, Pandodaily, The Wrap
Leading MCNs Delve into Original Content Production
This gaming and comic-oriented MCN originated as a YouTube channel producing original contentHaving already partnered with Lionsgateto produce an original web series in 2012, Machinima recently teamed up with Ridley Scott to produce 12 original Sci-Fi short filmsIf able to secure funding, the company is earmarked to launch Machinima Plus, a premium subscription product similar to Hulu Plus
SOCIAL VIDEO
22 Summer 2013Digital Video Report
Emergence of the Social Video PlatformViddy, Socialcam, Chill, and Loopcam, launched in 2011, were the first mobile applications to introduce the concept of viewing and sharing video content in a social media setting― Between December 2011 and March 2012, mobile video app usage jumped 52.0% from 152.0 minutes per
month to 231.0 minutes per month― During the same period, video usage from Google’s sites, primarily consisting of YouTube, fell 10.0%
Twitter, a platform based on shortened and straightforward content, launched Vine in January 2013― Vine places control in users’ hands to customize and share brief videos with followers― In August 2013 Vine hit 40 million users, up 207% from its reported 13 million users just two months prior― Vine has succeeded where previous mobile video sharing apps have faltered by capitalizing on Twitter’s
customer base and market shareAs the battle ensues for which platform will become the “Instagram of videos,” Instagram announced in late June 2013 that it would allow for users to film and post videos― Instagram reported it has reached 150 million monthly users in September 2013

YouTube Demands High Premium for Content DistributionWith over 1.0 billion monthly users and 1.0 million content creators, YouTube reigns as the world’s largest online video destination― YouTube is expected to generate $5.0 billion in revenue in 2013, comprising nearly 11.0% of Google’s total
revenueContent creators have the option to join the YouTube Partner Program, which allows them to monetize their videos through automatically-targeted ad formats With increasing digital video ad spend, YouTube’s revenue sharing model has been challenged as it gives content suppliers only 55% of ad revenue generated against their content, while keeping 45%― YouTube asserts that bandwidth, video hosting, video players, user analytics, ad serving, geo-blocking, content
filtering and other large infrastructure costs justify its collecting 45.0% A challenge for YouTube is that premium content providers such as traditional media companies and pure play digital studios could shift toward alternative distributors in an effort to retain more profit

Social Video Advertising Opportunities
The 6-second Vine or 15-second Instagram video IS the adVine can easily add geo-location data to post, a comparative advantage over other video platforms (most notably YouTube)― This allows local restaurants and vendors to better target their specific, location based, customers
Short form video content also naturally lends itself to teaser segments― Longer form video content could be released in 6 or 15-second segments where the next video is only un-
lockable after certain follower and retweet thresholds are met― Ideally suited to ramp up fan engagement for marquee (i.e., sports, movie/TV premieres) events
Finally, short, how-to videos can be created to either showcase the product itself, or show off creative uses for a product― Additionally, customers could be asked to submit Vine or Instagram videos of themselves using the product
Source: AdAge
Most online video can be monetized via pre-roll insertion, banner overlays or interactive in-stream ads, among others, but how can a platform consisting solely of 6 or 15-second videos be monetized?

Social Video Advertising OverviewPopular social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook now have over 200.0 million and 1.1 billion monthly users, respectively― As of July 2013, 76.0% of Twitter and Facebook users log in at least once each day
Simultaneously the growth of online video “snacking,” or viewing short, easily accessed clips has served to increase social video sharingTo capitalize on the organic growth in users sharing their favorite videos, an ecosystem of video seeding companies distribute branded videos for their agency or direct clients has developed― Optimum content placement, or “seeding,” is achieved by providing means for the advertiser to segment and
target their intended audience by geo-location, interest vertical, etc., across as large a publisher base as possible, with additional sequential ads, vendor or in-network re-targeting capabilities provided
These companies such as Giant Media, Unruly Media and Feed Company, among others, seek to maximize outreach and optimize content placement― Outreach is designed to target both social media communities, influential online personalities and followers of
niche interest blogs and forums across the web and get people talking about and sharing a campaign

Social Video Advertising OverviewTo ensure that consumers are truly engaging with the brand, and to effectively measure a campaign’s ROI, social video campaigns are generally priced on a CPV modelHowever, video views are just one important consideration when trying to effectively measure brand engagement, with other metrics arguably providing deeper insight:
― Time spent viewing the ad, even if not to completion
― Interactivity, such as starting the ad, or intentionally mousing over it
― Dwell rate, or the proportion of impressions that were intentionally engaged with by touch, interaction or click
― Sharing or commenting on ads – the foundation of the social, word-of-mouth or viral aspects of brand engagement
― Visiting a brand’s website as a result, even if not directly, of viewing the video ad
― Simply paying attention to ads and being aware of the brand – which are, in many ways, the core engagement metrics

Social Video Advertising Opportunities
While video views are primarily an indication of media spend (“paid media”), video shares on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and across the blogosphere, demonstrate that the consumer has engaged much more deeply with the content― These shares are an indication that the product or promotional video has gained genuine social traction and
organic consumer demand (“earned media”)― As word-of-mouth is the primary factor behind 20%-50% of purchasing decisions, peer-to-peer
recommendations are one of the most powerful marketing tactics available to move buyers down the purchase funnel

Making branded videos shareable can dramatically increase a brand’s reach, generate recommendations among peer groups, increase brand uplift, and trigger purchases / conversions

Social Video Seeding OpportunitiesAdded competition in social video has fueled the need for the leading companies to go beyond seeding to stand out from the crowd and stay ahead through various initiatives including:
1. Emotional measurement— Take a more scientific approach to work out what makes someone decide to share a piece of content— Calculate the amount of “earned media” a video is likely to attract across the social web and how much
paid investment (“paid media”), will need to be deployed— Partner with companies who measure how users are likely to respond to advertising
2. Exchange-based seeding— Create an ad format that can be served into standard MPU (300x250) and into Facebook by buying on
the exchanges— Focus more on presenting the media as content, rather than as an ad
3. Self-service platform— Develop a platform through which smaller advertisers can set up their own campaigns in a simple way
and can choose from a variety of geo and audience targeting options

OTT Overview and Trends
The global OTT video market is estimated to be worth over $20.0 billion as of February 2013, with opportunities for extensive growth in upcoming years― Much of this growth potential lies abroad, as approximately 510.0 million (excluding current developed markets,
India and China) international homes are expected to have broadband by 2021Subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) represents a key market opportunity in the sector while the highly fragmented global marketplace allows for potential consolidation― SVOD platforms are expected to spend between $9.2 billion and $13.8 billion on content rights by 2021, with
content producers expected to earn up to $10.0 billion annually from OTT digital rights salesApart from SVOD, OTT providers focus on three other principal monetization strategies: bonus add-ons, advertisements and VODConcerns arise with certain research suggesting that the growth in SVOD rights sales may eat into revenues of the much more pervasive advertising strategy― SVOD inherently promotes the avoidance of ads and a shift away from traditional television ratings metrics
Major players, such as Netflix, will gain the most from global SVOD growth if they can leverage their market position to wisely expand their content offerings and geographic distribution

Original Content
Netflix leads in original content programming with critically acclaimed offerings such as Arrested Development, House of Cards and most recently, Orange is the New BlackIn late July 2013, Netflix announced it will expand its lineup into additional content verticals including feature films, documentaries, stand-up comedy specials, news programs and talk showsNetflix executives attributed their YoY subscriber growth for Q2 2013 to their original programs
Although it remains in last place in terms of original content production, Amazon created buzz in the industry earlier this year when it put out 14 pilots at once and invited user feedback, disrupting traditional pilot season in favor of crowdsourcingAfter airing its original pilots in April 2013 and allowing for viewers to vote on their favorites, Amazon announced in May that it will produce five original series
Hulu began launching original series as early as 2011, with its most recent offerings featuring stars such as Seth Meyers and Eva LongoriaIn April 2013, with content costs rising, Hulu lost the exclusive rights to old SNL clips to Yahoo; this may lead to a need for increased focus on original programmingHulu retracted its for-sale status for a second time in July 2013, with owners Disney, NBCUniversal and 21st Century Fox instead investing $750.0 million into the company to compete more directly with Netflix and Amazon Prime

Traditional Networks vs. OTTDespite the growing popularity of OTT, traditional television networks are having some success in competing with this new sector of OTT providers― Comcast has implemented competitive on-demand services in response, and some traditional networks have
quickly developed multi-platform accessibility on desktops, tablets and smartphones― Other traditional TV operators are looking to partner with OTT providers to provide more flexible, on-demand
servicesIn terms of VOD rentals, managed networks still top the market compared to newer OTT players― VOD rentals, however, do not appear to be nullifying the losses in physical DVD sales
