Meredith, Scripps Readying Boatload of New Web Series

Interesting piece by New York Times advertising writer and blogger Stuart Elliott. He takes a look at the 2013-14 sponsored Web series battle plans of two very familiar media companies – Meredith and Scripps Networks.

Among the shows coming down the pike are Baby Sleep 911, which will follow a baby sleep consultant into various parents’ homes; Bonkers Awesome!, showcasing food blogger Joy Wilson; and How We Broke the News, featuring couples explaining how they told relatives of their intention to marry.
