  • The Golden Triangle will one day soon engender a shared experience across the three screens, but for the meantime, a resurgence of crowd-powered demand for relevance and personalization is leading a groundswell of change and evolution within each medium.
  • The result of the social effect and the integrated social hooks inherent in today’s online networks will only inspire a genre of connectivity and interaction as programming will eventually feature creative triggers that engender desired responses and action. The same is true for any event, whether it’s on air, live, or on the big screen.
  • The water cooler or social effect is only one part of defining a more meaningful experience over time. It is culturally significant as it connects people around common interests in real-time all over the web using events as our participation hub and as our magnet for convergence.

  • The partnership is a big deal because it means Facebook’s social TV data will be made available outside the company for the first time. In two weeks, SecondSync plans to share initial results in a white paper titled “Watching with Friends” with a full analysis of how people are using Facebook to engage with TV.

  • Today, the dynamic between low-budget producer and content-hungry distributor has flipped. Netflix doesn’t just stream films—it wills them into existence. The composition of contemporary B movies is dictated by middlemen like Netflix and Redbox, international direct-to-DVD distributors, and cable networks like Syfy, all of which pad their offerings with Asylum originals tailored to their needs.
  • The nimble creative process is “cashing in on this shifting moment in film consumption between the demise of the video store and the rise of streaming,” says Davis.

  • Facebook has given Trendrr preliminary access to previously unanalyzed Facebook user engagement data on chatter relating to television content.
  • Our analysis reveals that there is a large amount of TV-related social activity on Facebook — in numbers approximately 5 times as large as that of all other social networks combined as measured by Trendrr.
  • Trendrr’s analysis of second-screen Facebook activity during one week in May** found that the volume of Facebook user engagement relating to television programming was 5 times as large as all other social networks combined. Activity related to broadcast television was 7 times as large, while activity linked to cable-television programming was 4.5 times as large as all other social networks combined. Second-screen activity levels on Facebook were particularly high among viewers of dramas and comedies.

  • Live events during airtime, such as sporting events, also showed dramatically higher levels of activity over other social networks — something that may be surprising for some marketers who view Facebook as a platform mostly for extended conversation.
  • Trendrr and Facebook are working on a public case study of TV-related Facebook activity as part of an effort to illustrate the full breadth of engagement on Facebook’s platforms. Ultimately, Trendrr hopes to begin incorporating this Facebook data into its Social TV Rankings charts.*

  • The vast majority of Americans – 95 percent – still watch television using traditional cable or satellite options, according to Nielsen. But the number of households that choose to opt out of cable or satellite TV is on the rise, from 2 million in 2007 to 5 million in 2013, Nielsen’s data show.
  • “This scares the bejesus out of the cable and satellite people,” said Jim Barry, a spokesman for the Consumer Electronics Association in Arlington, Va. “I think it’s going to change the business model.”
  • A main driver behind the high cost of cable and satellite in recent years is the expensive license fees networks pay sports leagues to broadcast their games. The cost gets passed on to consumers to pay for the “bundles” of channels they get with their cable satellite subscriptions, whether they plan to watch sports or not.

    How advertisers can plan for TV and Twitter There are three levels of integration between TV and Twitter activity depending on a brand's market and aims:  Integration: where a TV campaign is planned and executed with specific Twitter content and activity built in and around it from the outset Anticipation: being more thoughtful of how Twitter and TV will work together in a brand strategy.  Brands need to plan ahead for TV moments and prepare content to take advantage of it.  They need to include hashtags on their TV ads but have a clear purpose to them - e.g. driving people to a Promoted Trend to find out more information about a product and move consumers along the purchase journey Association: at the simplest level, if a brand is not advertising on TV, it can still be associated with it as its customers will be watching TV and there is an opportunity to contribute

  • SVOD providers are particularly problematic for broadcasters and their advertising partners, because they hurt ad supported television in a number of ways: Consumers with SVOD subscriptions replace time spent watching ad supported television with ad free SVOD watching With so much of online video viewing time spent watching ad free, those quality ad opportunities that are available are more expensive to buy Consumers get a decreased tolerance for advertising as they grow used to seeing content uninterrupted.
  • U.S. ad agencies spent 2% less on broadcast TV networks in the 4th quarter of 2014 and 16% less on national cable TV. The company also found that, if you exclude the Olympics, broadcast ad revenue would have declined 2% for the full year (it increased 4.1% when the Olympics are included.)

  • American adults watch an average of 4 hours and 36 minutes of live TV per day, as opposed to half-an-hour watching time-shifted TV, 11 minutes using a game console, 1 hour and 7 minutes using internet on a computer and 1 hour and 25 minutes using a smartphone.
  • The difference in declines between the viewing population and the 18-24 population as a whole suggests the growing presence of “cord-nevers” – people who have never subscribed to a pay-TV service and are instead getting all their programming options from OTT services. It also means that TV’s grip on its young viewers remains, but is loosening.
  • In Q2, 12-17-year-olds watched an average of 18 hours and 58 minutes of traditional TV per week, representing a 14-minute-per-day year-over-year decline. That’s an uptick from recent declines.

    1. #hashtags in TV ads drive positive brand conversation. To analyze the impact of hashtags in TV ads on Twitter earned media, we studied more than 500 television commercials in the consumer electronics category. We analyzed over 63,000 comments in response to those ads, across more than 100,000 television airings. We found that hashtags drive significantly more earned media for brands. TV ads with hashtags had 42% more Tweets about the ads than those without hashtags. 2. Twitter keeps viewers tuned in to advertising. 3. Twitter makes TV ads more effective.

  • Despite a user base only 20% the size of Facebook’s, Twitter routinely hosts discussions that rival the size of those taking place on the larger platform. If you narrow the comparison down to original content — Tweets versus Posts — Twitter boasted more interaction around nearly all of the broadcasts SecondSync examined in its study.
  • The difference in time windows is just one of several apples-to-oranges problems that crop up when attempting to compare second-screen patterns across the two platforms. A more substantive one is how to weight the various types of actions permitted in both places. Is a Like more akin to a retweet or a Favorite?
  • But even a comparison that assumes that comments are worth as much as original posts suggests that Twitter owns a disproportionate share of TV discussions.

    Thanks so much for sharing. The study quoted liberally, thatFB commissioned by the way, is neither objective or thorough. Second Synch and FB are partners and the "data" was supplied by FB. The author is to be commended for recognizing the "apples to oranges" aspects of the comparison of FB to Twitter but I think the idea that Social Media will be zero sum arena likely misses some interesting analysis. Of all things, social media is never going to be zero sum, though marketers will have to make decisions about one vs. another for their clients needs. Obviously a blog post isn't profound but this one doesn't exactly further the discussion as much draw a tidy conclusion rather than the more nuanced reality that, IMHO, is a more interesting.
