Course Description
With the current industry emphasis in the efficient monetization of video, advertising products like instream
video that take advantage of current high CPMs are becoming more important. The process and workflows that meet at
the interaction of ad operations, ad servers and content and tracking systems are key to long lasting and scaleable
video products and processes that will work today and into the near future.

Video knowledge and systems stretch between many groups and interrelated processes.
These include technology development, content management, ad traffickers, inventory management and even finance
in order to have a scalable product. Conversely, there are few individuals who understand the entire work flow
involved in online video, and even fewer companies who monetize it efficiently This course will furnish
attendees with a fuller knowledge of the end to end processes in advertising operations for Video advertising products.

Who should attend?:
This course is designed for both ad operations managers and other personnel in related Internet divisions,
who want to acquire a knowledge of “best practices” in video advertising products and work flows.

This course will be beneficial to mid-level ad operations staff, ranging from individuals who have been in
ad ops/trafficking for 3 months to 3 years.
