YoLiTube is a "Video Utilty" .. Serving an
õ:'
Extremely "Longtail" of Content
.
YouTube is a utility people use to contribute, share and consume video
- Users currently upload -70K videos per day and invest in tagging, cataloging and
sharing their videos
.
Consumption of "branded" content on YT is low
- There are no movie trailers in the top 30, nor are there any clips from popular TV
shows - Only four of the top 30 most watched videos of all time on YouTube are music
videos, one of which is in German
.
In fact, in the "branded area," Ifilm does significantly more streams than YouTube, even though Ifilm is much smaller from a user base perspective
o Pirates of the Caribbean 2 trailers consumption on YT = 250k; consumption on IFILM = 1m
o Even the much-discussed SNL "Lazy Sunday" sketch and its myriad spoofs have been seen more times on IFILM than on YouTube
.
Net-net, YouTube is much closer to video search than VOO

MTVN

o P18-49 = 59°Jl of YouTube audience and 53% of page views
· MTVN I YouTube unduplicated audience would be 35MM uniques - an
active reach of 230/0
o ::40% of the unique audience on each MTV.com, CMT.com, Gametrailers, iFilm, and The-N.com are also on YouTube
o By comparison, only 9°Jl of YouTube's uniques overlap with MTV.com representing a significant opportunity to grow our audiences
· The potential competitive threat of a combined MySpace I YouTube
would reach 51 MM unduplicated uniques

As Video Consumption Moves to the Web,
:: ~
~
YouTube has Emerged As a First Choice Asset
for the Company
· YouTube is the dominant platform for consumers as they migrate to
using video to express themselves
- It is quickly becoming a "video social network" - There is currently no other asset that approaches this position
· YouTube would be a transformative acquisition for MTV Networks / Viacom in the internet space; we would:
- Immediately become the leading global deliverer of video online,
with dominance in almost every country
- Own the world's largest repository of digital video that is relevant
to our audiences

its Position Cannot Be Taken for Granted
· A range of companies - including the portals, the social networks and
pure-play start-ups are aggressively pursuing this space, creating alternatives for consumers
likely
· Therefore, YouTube must focus not only on continuing to attract new
consumers, but maintaining existing ones -- The key here wil
be to increase "switching costs"
- Today, YouTube has a "limited audience lock-in"
· Unlike MySpace, there is less investment in personal profiles and personalities · YouTube will have to focus on adding features which make it harder to move
- With limited switching costs audiences are likely to migrate to
other sources should the site's appeal be diminished - ad integration will be a particularly sensitive issue

the Branded and Ad Network Spaces as Well as Creating A New "Ad Sense-Like" Product
ii Advertising: Success Will Require Tapping
· YouTube's traffic is fragile with respect to attempts to monetize it through traditional "inserted" video advertising.
· Audience tolerance for pre and post-roll video advertising wil be low compared to websites that are used predominantly for the consumption of professional programming that is not available elsewhere (e.g. IFILM, Overdrive)
· The model we have built assumes three revenue generation models,
two of which already exist and are well understood, one of which is
new and therefore untested. · The proposed monetization mechanisms are: - Branded Premium Advertising & Sponsorships
- Cost per View / "Video Ad Sense" Model
.:
- Run Of Site / Advertising Network

The Markets We Know - Branded and Ad
Networks
· "Branded" revenue will be generated from key real estate, and wil likely
be in the form of auctioned premium advertising and sponsorships
Paid Placement - home page based sponsored video (i.e. one block where film studios bid for placement of their trailers)
- Premium Content - over time the use of ad supported premium
clips/content in a separate section (i.e., Movie of the week, first looks, releases, film trailers, etc).
- That said, there is some concerns surrounding generation of
. Likely lack of ability to drive traffic to home page and other destinations within the site,
. Most popular and therefore valuable content - such as huge movie
releases (trailers, etc.) - wil
significant revenue from entertainment advertisers (e.g. studios) include:
likely be available freely anyway.
.: :¡ o -"
· In addition, we assume the use of advertising networks for yield management - initially domestically and over time internationally

The "Video Ad Sense-Like" Opportunity
.
Users have so much freedom of choice for the consumption of media that marketers can no longer assume they can "buy time" within it.
.
Advertisers are becoming obliged to offer compelling content and services. Google's advertising model made this clear, whereby advertisers not only bid for the privilege of real estate but advertising that does not make good use of available real estate is penalized.
.
We propose a revenue model for YouTube that treats advertising and content as nearequals, as in Google's "natural vs. sponsored" search results. Cost per view paid video advertising would appear throughout the YouTube site, alongside the programming.
.
Advertisers would bid for keyword-space, and could ultimately upload their own creative.
.
Audiences would be receptive to the advertisers' content because it would never be forced upon them but offered more as a service or as additional content to them, and advertising content that doesn't perform (is not watched) would be automatically discounted and would ultimately disappear.

3) Evolve the content model to fully
incorporate "branded content
· Today, YouTube incorporates some branded content · However, the experience is not maximized and the
business model is not fully defined
· On a going forward basis, YouTube needs to evolve to
deal with both of these issues

4) Maintain "Technology Companï: status
KEY SUCCESS FACTORS
. Ability to hire and retain technical talent: requires significant technical talent to
develop targeted advertising and search related competencies. E.g., developing cost per play models that match categories of video to advertisers. As a corporately owned company it will be more challenging to
incentivize new hires
. Ongoing investment in infrastructure: YouTube is at an early stage of infrastructure development and will require ongoing investments in storage/caching, and servers to maintain speed and effectiveness
. Investment in innovation: As a platform, YouTube requires ongoing
investment in innovation to maintain the relevance of its searches and
