Emerging Insider believed that by targeting highly specific audiences across a blend of earned, owned and paid media, communications success could be generated. Emerging Insider works with both startups and brands across b2b and b2c, having earned their reputation from their emerging media and technology practice. The Emerging Insider team is often quoted across marketing,[5] technology[6] and media publications.[7][8][9]

Connected TV Advertising is a new field in the realm of marketing.[16] CTV Advertising was sold by Weiner, although he continued to evangelize the Social TV,[17] multiscreen[18] and Digital Video[19] space.
