The Association for Downloadable Medahas announced today the formation of a advertising agency liaison to the group. The fourteen member Ad Council is made up of media professionals from major leading interactive advertising agencies. The purpose of the council is to act as an advisory board for the ADM to aid them in creating standards and guidlines for podcasts, online video and streaming media.
