Now publishers can create an enhanced media search query—the request can extend across multiple parameters, and set the filter type by: ‘any’,'all’, or ‘not’. Now I can execute a search like this one: 

 Example Search:  Return all media that has a tag of ‘football’ or ’soccer’ that exists in channel ‘Duke’ and does not have a state of error.

                (tag:football OR tag:soccer) AND (channel_id:Duke AND -state:error)

 AND I can use any of the following media properties in my search: 

• media_type {Video, Audio, LiveStream}
• state {New, Uploading, Processing, Publishable, Published, Deleted, Error}
• title 
• description
• tag
• original_filename
• created_after  - <Search for all media uploaded after a particular epoch date>
• updated_after – <Search for all media updated after a particular epoch date>
• published_after - <Search for all media published after a particular epoch date>
• channel_id – <Limit search to a particular channel>
• Values for existing custom metadata properties can also be searched. For each custom property you wish to search, include the following as a parameter: custom_property[<custom_property_id>] = <custom_property_value>

Consumers want more from their ads, they want to be entertained. The hunger for feeling an emotional draw to products is now the driving force of how advertising will transform.

Needless to say, advertisers are wise to choose mobile as a major medium for publishing their ads because mobile will stretch further to all corners of the world. Traditionally, mobile traffic has had the highest consumption rate in North America. However, Cisco says this will become a thing of the past. Over the course of the next four years, Western Europe and Asia Pacific combined will make up over half of the global mobile usage. We’ll even see spurts of growth in the Middle East and Africa with a 129 percent increase by 2015.
