  • Location technologies like GPS are sharing analytics on where and how this content is being viewed.  The good news?  Connected TVs definitely have a role to play in the multiscreen IoT – especially in the area of building new models of marketing and advertising relationships.
  • The way we look at location-based marketing (LBM) is unique – our definition is basically: The intersection of people, places and media.  We don’t equate LBM to just mobile [devices]. – Asif Khan, LBMA
  • once you know the location of the person you’re trying to influence – the question you should ask is: what media happens to be near them in that particular place? Could be a billboard, radio, television – anything. We’re very focused on media context.”

  • on the TV front – we work with connected TV ecosystem companies like Shazam, Cisco, and others that are building Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) into HD and 4K displays. In the increasing model of TV/mobile co-viewing/browsing, a sponsor could deliver a message that is first seen on the TV but is also sync’d to become a Call-To-Action (CTA) on the mobile device of the viewer.  And as the ad will know the location of the user, they could tailor the message to direct the customer to the nearest retail location of the brand advertiser.”
  • In 2011 we worked with Fox TV and our member company Loopt on the show 'Bob’s Burgers.' They approached us with an LBM idea –they wanted to build a fanbase as the show was just starting.  So, we partnered with the California-based chain Fatburger in 64 locations to rebrand them as Bob’s Burgers.  On one of the episodes, one of the animated characters checked-in on their mobile device.  We’re also worked with Bravo on shows like Real Housewives and Top Chef – to drive viewers to real-world retail locations that the characters on the show frequent.”
  • Let’s take a big retailer like The GAP – they spend $$$ on great TV ads with great music.   Instead of The GAP saying 'Check in on Foursquare today at the GAP and save 20% on a pair of jeans'  – essentially giving their margin away, wouldn’t it be better if I could say 'Hey, you know that great commercial you saw that got you into the store? Let me give you a free copy of that song as a download right now.'  So we’re seeing a shift from just discounts and coupons and moving toward an exchange of valuable content.  The producers and broadcasters of that content have a huge opportunity to participate in that.”
  • Regarding the potential for backlash against location-based marketing, Khan is optimistic:  “The way we look at it is, if you can demonstrate real value and relevance to an individual user, they will be willing to share their location data. It’s almost a mathematical equation.  You have to articulate opportunities around the value exchange.   Four years ago, the stats for Foursquare showed that more than 82% of the location data (check-ins) were driven by men.

  • In The Future of TV – A View from 2013, TDG asserts that in a shifting quantum media landscape video viewing will shift away from legacy pay-TV environments such as the living room television, and toward broadband and non-TV video platforms and app-enabled secondary screens such as tablets, which will in essence serve as second TVs.
  • the use of second screens like smartphones and tablets will pave the way to what it calls a full app-based ecosystem which will train users how to visit an app store, search and locate content, and download their own selection of third-party applications onto their devices.
  • pace of change it believes will be hindered by industry inertia, device replacement cycles, and resistance to change by the legacy TV viewing audience.

  • 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.

  • Aereo relies on tiny antennas located in the company’s data centers that pick up local channels’ signals and beam them over the Internet to customers. For a monthly membership of $8 to $12, Aereo customers can watch the channels streaming live online or save them on virtual digital video recorders for later.
  • TV networks have responded: ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and PBS are suing Aereo, claiming that its service violates copyright law by selling access to their content without their permission. A federal appeals court ruled in Aereo’s favor earlier this year,

  • Mass Relevance partnered with ABC’s Dancing with the Stars to broadcast Facebook conversations throughout the show - for the first time ever.    
  • Public Feed API allowed Dancing with the Stars to capture conversations happening on Facebook from public feeds and sources. The Keyword Insights API allowed Dancing with the Stars to anonymize, break down, and transform status updates, comments, and likes into demographic data. For the premiere, this meant that as fans and viewers shared their thoughts on Facebook, Dancing with the Stars was not only able to showcase Facebook comments on-air, but also reveal a demographic breakdown of social chatter by age, gender, and location.
  • 88% of content produced on Facebook around the show was created by females.

  • Dunkin’ Donuts today is launching TV spots called #MyDunkin, featuring the brand’s passionate Twitter fans.
  • We’ve found in the last few years that letting consumers talk about Dunkin’ is far more powerful than any brand message we could put out.
  • You can use the mobile app to find a local Dunkin’ and receive geo-targeted offers. The mobile offers change as you go from market to market while using push notifications for location-based targeting.

  • The Canvs analysis covered about 185,000 tweets, just a portion of the half-a-million tweets that Canvs identified as being related to the finale. The platform only analyzes tweets it is sure it can interpret accurately, founder and CEO Jared Feldman told me. <div><a href="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?iu=%2F4624%2FTheAtlanticOnline%2Fchannel_technology&t=src%3Dblog%26by%3Dadrienne-lafrance%26title%3Dan-algorithm-knows-who-liked-the-em-how-i-met-your-mother-em-finale%26pos%3Din-article&sz=300x185&c=72813788&tile=3" title=""><img src="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?iu=%2F4624%2FTheAtlanticOnline%2Fchannel_technology&t=src%3Dblog%26by%3Dadrienne-lafrance%26title%3Dan-algorithm-knows-who-liked-the-em-how-i-met-your-mother-em-finale%26pos%3Din-article&sz=300x185&c=72813788&tile=3" alt="" /></a></div>
  • An algorithm might recognize the word "enjoy" in a tweet that says, I really didn't enjoy the How I Met Your Mother finale, without realizing that the tweet isn't ultimately positive. You can teach a computer to recognize the "didn't" before "enjoy," but that doesn't go far enough, either.
  • The way that 12-year-olds talk about loving Justin Bieber? There's no dictionary on the planet that captures that."

  • Canvs uses an algorithm built on years of more nuanced human analysis known as "supervised sentiment analysis" in the industry. The result, Feldman says, is real-time conclusions at a level of sophistication that previously would have taken hours
  • Canvs reviews months of backdata—what you've tweeted, who you follow, where you're tweeting from—to deduce personal information like a viewer's age, gender, ethnicity, income levels, interests, brand loyalty, and so on.
  • Combine those clues with geolocation, gender, and age data, and Feldman says Canvs can confidently guess someone's income bracket. (These data subsets are smaller than the original 117,000-person cohort because specific information like location and gender aren't available for everyone.)
  • For advertisers, there's a reverse-engineering component to using this kind of data, too. Here's how Feldman puts it: "If I'm McDonald's, it'd be fantastic to know: The people who already care about me, what shows are they obsessed with?"
