Our take:
ProLink has been expanding aggressively, and just recently announced that much of its planned growth in the near future would be coming from overseas. That would seem to create two unique challenges for the firm as they approach their 'upfront'. First will simply be getting agency executives to pre-purchase space on a medium that isn't network TV or cable, which may be a feat unto itself. Second, though, will be detailing how ads work in a global consumption economy, instead of just a national one. Granted the firm may choose to sell inventory only on screens inside the US, but it would seem like this would negate one of their biggest and most unique advantages over conventional media.
