Challengers

The TV Battle

Broadcasters? !

• Broadcasters currently own the relationship with the brands and they need to work hard to keep it this way. This may prove to be an uphill battle with TV ad spend currently depending on fuzzy math and Nielsen, GfK ratings.

• Broadcasters need to own the second screen, but they are not moving fast enough.

!Brands?

!• Brands are more likely to go direct-to-consumer with branded content.

• Brands are going to become more familiar with a new methods such as ‘Game Mechanics’, ‘Multi-platform Engagement’, ‘Analytics’, ‘Social TV’ and ‘Transmedia’.

• Second Screen behaviour will challenge the traditional 30-second spot structure as more people move to multi-platform and engage on second screens during commercials.

What does this mean to...

Social TV

• Social TV is described as when a viewer is engaging with a second screen (smartphone, tablet, etc) while viewing TV (the first screen). !

• Social TV has transformed TV from a one-way communication system to an interactive dialogue where TV watchers play an important role in co-creating the viewership experience. !

• Social TV is helping to bridge media with data, generating a goldmine of statistics and information for marketers to profit from and optimise campaigns. !

?

Second screen engagement will drive interactive TV experiences and new monetisation models.

EPG, content discovery and content consumption will move to the second screen.

Linear TV will not die - it will become social and participative and will focus on live and event-driven revenue.

!

Metadata engagement will become the new oil.

The Internet is fundamental to the future of Television for one simple reason: because it’s what people want.” !Eric Schmidt Chairman of Google‘‘

The future isn’t either traditional or digital: it’s a feedback loop between the two. !

Television fans want to get involved and be counted. It’s how creative we are in engaging those fans – and keeping them connected even as they may move away from the traditional network – that will determine how potent and profitable we will be in the future.” !Kevin Reilly President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting
