Hulu TV Ads lure Away TV Viewers: CEO Jason Kilar Interview

Hulu video site backed by Fox, NBC Universal and ABC, has spent millions (USD) on traditional TV ads to lure viewers away from TV and to their site Hulu.com. In a recent interview at the 4As Leadership Conference, CEO Jason Kilar said Hulu's Super Bowl ad was directly responsible for increasing the online video portal's business by 49%. Also, curiously, Mr. Kilar indicated that his company Hulu neither has or wants a marketing department.

For as much time as I spend on YouTube, I'm confident that I'd spend the same if not more time on Hulu if they streamed outside of the US. It's probably a good thing that they don't actually.
