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.

The True Evolution of Facebook Organic Reach Between 2013 and 2014 - 1 views
-
Reach is not public data, and very few people (likely less than 20 companies across the globe) have the ability to access a significant number of pages’ reach metrics. So most (if not all) of what you’ve read on the subject is probably irrelevant, or greatly exaggerated.
-
Among the 142 industries (Facebook page categories) we have in the sample, only 18 are up or steady. But among the 124 categories seeing their organic reach going down, there are still a lot of them reaching more than 15 or 20% of their fans organically for each post.
-
We focused on the Organic Reach metric for posts (the only one that cannot include paid reach) of over 6,000 pages. We then averaged Organic reach by industry and compared the results between the two periods (July 2013 & May 2014)

According to recent Nielsen stats, 84% of US smartphone and tablet owners now say they use their devices as second screens while watching TV – looking up information about programmes they are watching, researching or buying goods and interacting with friends.
-
Recent months have seen the consolidation, and even closure, of some of the first crop of dedicated second screen services.

McDonnell claims that industry, and industry watchers, have been distracted by the buzz around so-called ‘second screening’ – “misinterpreting the audience behaviour and missing the point that it’s just all about making the TV show better.” He claims that part of this “distraction” has rested with the consumer-facing startups, eager to grab attention from broadcasters and monetise this space independently. “They’ve generated a lot of hype and have largely failed to capitalise on it,” says McDonnell.

What we try to do is almost replicate what people were doing online while they are watching TV and pro-actively serve them a whole lot of this extra information," he says
