“TV is still very dominant,” agency ad-buying software platform Mediaocean\u2019s Europe MD Sarah Lawson Johnston<\/a> tells Beet.TV in this recorded video interview with with\u00a0Ashley J. Swartz, CEO of Furious Corp<\/a>\u00a0at DMEXCO.\u00a0“The ecosystems are very different.\u00a0Everybody’s talking about TV and video convergence, but it’s not going to happen overnight – It’s going to take a good couple of years.”<\/p>\n Johnston says she knows one way to accelerate the multi-media buying: “The more you automate the buyer and seller relationship, the more they can spread their wings and go across different platforms.”<\/p>\n
