-
Using digital advertising solutions as a critical partner to traditional advertising solutions.
-
Examples of revenue-generating solutions utilizing social media, mobile, web, database
-
Understanding what “content” is and how it can be re-purposed for revenue generation.
-
Positioning the advantage of being a local broadcaster in a digital world.
