    Certainly, the Super Bowl reflected brand interest in turning TV into a mosaic of simultaneous marketing events on different screens designed to engage consumers with brands and with each other. Coca-Cola's polar bears were in the beverage giant's TV spots, but they were simultaneously online during the game, commenting on the game and, in a meta-commentary, on their own ad. Tom Cunniff, VP and director of interactive communications at Combe Incorporated, asked if such multi-screen programs risk splitting people's attention across devices. McHugh agreed that the risk exists, but said that, if the central idea is engaging, it only deepens engagement and attention. "We have seen it; consumers are already fragmenting their attention. What social TV does is to bring the experience to life so we can capture consumer attention more." She argued that if the story is good and engaging, it will involve consumers, no matter how many screens are telling it.

    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.
