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.

    "Merely tracking the volume of buzz," said Bluefin Labs VP-Marketing and Business Development Tom Thai, "without a deeper analysis of other factors, is very rudimentary." What matters is context; once a show gets traction, what else can the viewers who are chattering about it tell us about their other preferences as consumers? "If you're a CMO for an automaker vs. wireless carrier vs. laundry detergent," said Mr. Thai, "your audiences and needs will be different. The key next step is marrying social-TV data about the shows with data about specific brands."
