Synchronisation and Media Interaction with Your Consumer

The way people watch TV is radically changing. What used to be a passive and lean-back experience is now becoming an interactive and engaging experience. This growing consumers’ appetite for interactivity opens opportunities for broadcasters, content owners and advertisement agencies to deepen their relationship with the consumer. Adding interactive applications for companion devices and smart TVs meets the demands of today’s TV consumer and offers new opportunities for targeted applications and advertising. This presentation sheds light on ACR and how it greatly enhances the consumer viewing experience as well as bring a wealth of new possibilities to the broadcast industry.

Monetisation’s Impact on Europe’s 2nd Screen Ecosystem

How does a network, league or agency approach content/programming/user experience for their audience or client on a 2nd screen to keep fans engaged and drive them to additional revenue opportunities? The 2nd screen space is young but marketing, and hence monetisation, tends to form by country, then by region, before settling into global models. This panel discusses the nuances of monetising second screen apps in Europe including how advertising (brand support, click thru, etc.) is performing by examining what is working today and what might be working tomorrow.

Moderator: Guy Finley, Executive Director, 2nd Screen Society and MESA

Engaging EU Consumers Through 2nd Screen
We’ve seen article after article about GetGlue, Yahoo’s IntoNow, and penetration of events like the Oscars® and various international music award shows. While most of the consumers with 2nd screens are using them during the TV experience, data shows that only 1/3 of them are engaging in the show they are watching. How do we increase that percentage of engagement and keep consumers coming back for more, so that interacting with their 2nd screens becomes second nature? What kind of engagement levels are European runaways experiencing from 3rd party apps to network broadcasters to major events.
