April 10th morning news, Youku CEO Victor Koo recently stated that video websites in China are mostly platforms combining professional media with grassroots media, and therefore have stronger marketing value for advertisers than YouTube.
Victor Koo pointed out that YouTube is merely a pure grassroots platform with limited marketing value. However, the majority of video websites in China serve as platforms for both professional and grassroots media, such as collaborating with TV stations, film and television companies, and also having resources from video contributors. These factors make them more appealing to advertisers, providing a more comprehensive marketing platform than YouTube.
