Tracks Venues

In this session...

Hold the sugar and the sales pitch, pick up some knowledge from innovators in culture, get some consumer insights --- maybe leave with a TV! Join VIZIO as we canvas the smart TV universe - we’ll showcase trend analysis in consumer behavior with data from a study we did with Magid. We’ll sit down with Kara Lazarus, market leader and agency executive to understand the creative and media approach to this blistering streaming ecosystem. And we’ll bring hip hop royalty to stage - MTV pioneer Rahman Dukes and Legendary Hip Hop Journalist Shaheem Reid will break down their approach to new media programming and their new media venture, Polaris, debuting on VIZIO later this month.
