Trivia- who’s in this photo? And what’s their net worth?


Some highlights of a rather skeptical view of online video ads (with my thoughts below in the circle bullets). Writted by Tom Hespos, president of Underscore Marketing, for a recent Mediapost.com article: “I have a rather controversial stance on online video ads: I think a lot of people will make a lot of money in…
