Facebook Can't Compete With Twitter On TV - 1 views

  • Twitter could be much better than Facebook in certain businesses, and it might be able to make a huge amount of money in that business.
  • TV is still the most important player in the advertising industry. The format has an important cultural importance, and it still brings in far more money than Internet video. That is not going to change any time soon according to research, and that will negatively effect Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) as it tries to move into video ads. Twitter has a way around the trend, however.
  • TV changes Twitter, Twitter changes TV When a really popular show is on television, the buzz is palpable on the social network. Twitter has noticed and it has begun to push some of its advertising in that direction. The company is planning on launching a TV recommendation service in the months ahead that will add to the perceived relationship between the social network and television in the mind of consumers.

Why Facebook and Twitter Are Fighting Over Your Television - Claire Peracchio - The Atl... - 0 views

  • TV is still the biggest, commanding roughly $70 billion in annual advertising.
  • Nielsen reports that online video accounts for a small portion of time spent watching TV, just over 2%, even after including YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu.  
  • Facebook and Twitter have the same grand strategy to cut a slice of that $70 billion. Unike Netflix and Hulu, their plan isn’t to take attention away from TV, but rather to attract more attention to TV advertising.

  • In the lead-up to its IPO this fall, Twitter launched Amplify, which partners with TV channels to pump promoted tweets and short video clips (co-branded by an advertiser and network) into feeds where users are likely to be tuned into the channel. Nielsen has reported that these doubled-up ads translated to a 58-percent-higher purchase intent for consumers.
  • In 29 percent of episodes surveyed, Twitter activity boosted live television viewership in a “statistically significant” way, and 48 percent of the time, higher TV viewership led to a higher tweet volume.

1 in 5 Second-Screeners Shop for Products Seen in TV Ads - 0 views

  • Among the most common is shopping for a product seen in an ad, by 19.4% of TV watchers who engage in second-screen activities.
  • That’s behind only learning about an actor/actress (29.8%) and learning about the show/movie (23.1%). The researchers note that shopping for products is most prevalent among laptop users and consumers in the 35-49 age group, and that “converting viewers into impulse shoppers has big potential impact for advertisers.”
  • Not too far behind the top tier of activities is discussing a show on a social networking site, cited by 14.8% of respondents. That’s a figure worth watching closely – as social TV has the potential to increase engagement. A just-released neuroscience study from MEC and Channel Seven in Australia discovered that interacting with social media while watching TV drove a 9% increase in program engagement among study participants, and that second-screen interaction aided recall of specific elements of the broadcast.

10 Tech Commandments for the TV Industry - 0 views

    8. Thou shalt hyper-personalize for your viewers Perceptive media may still be a long way from becoming reality, but 'hyper-personalization' (perhaps a clearer description of what perceptive media means) of TV shows based on who's watching could be huge for viewers and advertisers alike. Not seen a show before? Your set-top box will know this and show more of an explanation of what's happened before, while regular viewers get some bonus content for their loyalty. Not a fan of heavy metal? Maybe the soundtrack to the action scene will be automatically changed to something more to your taste without you even knowing. You can read more about the thinking behind perceptive media in our post here.

USA Network Brings Advertisers into Its Social TV Journey - eMarketer - 1 views

  • We’re trying to bring brand advertisers into the conversation. When the Ford Fusion, for example, is integrated into an episode of “White Collar,” it’s then easy for us to promote that positioning or brand integration in platforms like Character Chatter.
  • We don’t want people to view something as an ad, we want people to view it as added content to their “White Collar” show experience.
  • Viewers using the Viggle platform can access interesting plot points, Q&As, live polls—things like that—while watching the show.

  • The term social TV is just going to go away. It’s going to become the way that we all do creative executions across multiple platforms while engaging with users. I also think we are going to see an adoption explosion as cable companies start devising more second-screen companion experiences and the electronic programming guides include some type of visual indicator letting subscribers know of the enhanced program that goes along with the show.

Pay-TV Operators Gear Up for Internet TV Invasion - 0 views

  • Apple TV is reportedly developing ad-skipping technology so owners of a set-top box can watch shows commercial-free. The propsed deal with cable companies would reimburse programmers for skipped ads.
  • Google is really just hoping to beat Apple to the punch, despite the fact that the company already has its Apple TV streaming product on the market, according to The New York Times "Apple’s thinking… is that any next-generation television service must be set up in partnership with existing distributors, in part for quality assurance reasons. A future Apple service could include a user-friendly interface layered on top of Time Warner Cable or Cablevision’s channel lineup."
  • Adoption from the major networks is "very unlikely to support any service with their linear feed that allows for commercial messages to be skipped even if they get some form of compensation," Rino Scanzoni, chief investment officer for WPP's GroupM, told AdAge. "This is not a viable economic model and subscribers to the system would not pay an adequate premium to compensate for it."

  • However, Forbes points out the longer-term effect. “Cable companies get paid for the ads that consumers are no longer watching. Since ad rates are determined by eyeball counts, those rates will decline as more viewers opted-out, so cable companies will need to figure out new ways to make money.”

Social Media Is No Fad, Cautions Bowditch | TVNewsCheck.com - 1 views

  • social media is a growing part of the media landscape, including the fact that there are 1.3 billion Facebook users and 646 million Twitter users.
  • Bowditch added that stations will make a serious mistake if they try to integrate advertising into their social media reach. “How do you monetize social media?” he asked, rhetorically. “You don’t. As soon as you advertise … they turn it off and go to the next one.”

Xaxis Promises to Bring Second-Screen Viewers Back to TV - ClickZ - 0 views

  • "This is not a Shazam-like feature. It happens before the ad is even broadcast,
  • ble to read the digital signals coming from the TV satellite feed (used for both satellite and cable TV), telling it when a TV spot from a specific brand has begun. It then triggers the launch of a mobile ad within three seconds of its detection of the TV spot.
  • On the other end, Xaxis targets users using data from TV audience measurement firm Kantar, which taps into about 1 million U.S. TV households. This could tell Xaxis, for example, which viewers index high for consuming television dramas or live vocal competitions. The campaigns are only designed to reach connected devices on a home Wi-Fi, rather than those who are on mobile devices, Finnegan says. "We want to reach people who are stationary and if they are on Wi-Fi we can assume they are hanging out at home," he notes.

  • A competitor of Xaxis, never.no, also offers a syncing product called Story a. It has implemented second-screen campaigns for P&G on Telemundo as well as campaigns on Bravo TV and USA Network. According to Kelly Moulton, chief commerical officer of never.no, the USA Network experienced a 20 percent lift in its C3 ratings from Nielsen as a result of a social spot tied into the Psych season finale.
  • "For a unified-screen strategy to really shine, all touch points need to be properly synchronized. The ad execution on the second screen shouldn't just be a repeat of the 30-second spot airing on broadcast; it should be complementary and draw a consumer in," says Redniss.
  • "If advertisers want to reach Amazing Race viewers, they don't care about reaching them only as they are watching the show," he says. The water cooler effect that happens around shows such as Mad Men continues on well into the next morning, he notes, making it a short-sighted strategy to just focus on the show. "It's all about having intelligence about the audience and reaching them where ever they are," he says. PlaceIQ uses Rentrak for its TV viewing data, which has access to 13 million households.
