Some interesting insight from a BBC study about the evolving mobile content story.

Martin (Marty) Smith's curator insight, April 23, 10:57 PM

Great Neville Hobson Post On What's Next
Great insight here from a BBC study and Hobson's analysis. Here is some of what the study found about news consumption:

BBC Study

One area that is constantly on the attention radar is largely to do with the ‘how’ of news consumption. It’s not only about the TV any more: it’s also about computers, tablets and smartphones, separately and used in conjunction with one another.
 

This is the so-called second-screen experience that is already evolving into three or more screens as multiple-device ownership and usage become more common with greater access to the tools, greater understanding of what you can do with them and greater quantities of content to consume and share opinion about.

Screens & Engagement
As I write this piece on the interplay between screens NCIS is playing from my DVR. Here are the study's conclusions:

* Tablet owners watch more TV news, not less, with 43 percent of tablet users saying they consume more TV than they did five years ago, and most saying they use tablets alongside TV.

* Young professionals, the 25-34 year old demographic are the biggest news enthusiasts.

* Second screening for news is becoming commonplace, with users often using devices in tandem. 83 percent of tablet users say they have used their tablets while watching television.

* TV still dominates overall usage, taking 42 percent of people’s news consumption time compared with laptops (29 percent), smartphones (18 percent) and tablets (10 percent).

* News audiences expect to see advertising nearly as much on mobile (79 percent tablet, 84 percent smartphone) as they do on TV (87 percent) and online (84 percent).

* People respond to advertising across all the screens, with 1 in 7 users indicating they responded to a mobile ad in the last four weeks whilst responses to TV and desktop are 1 in 5 and 1 in 4 respectively.

 

TV As Hub At Home
Our days move seamless between devices. We may begin on a tablet, work on laptops and desktops during the day, check phones periodically throughout the day and end up on pads as we finish our day with the TV on writing blog posts, tweets or checking emails. 

The marketing implications are many and significant including:
* Product placement to support campaigns may make sense.
* Even if you can't afford product placement, TV remains important. 

* Messages should be adapted to their medium not the other way. 

* News or "news forms" are viable and important marketing tactics.

* Data ads new credibility to Meerman Scott's NewsJacking ideas.

* Real time TV is amplified by "second screen" content curation.


This last bullet is what I'm doing now. It may seem as if my blog post about second screens is unrelated to NCIS or now Body of Proof but their content is what is playing and so earning the reference. 

In a crisis the TV as HUB really become clear. We use TV's herd of reports to wrangle the story but check social throughout to stay abreast of Real Time and User Generated Content that amplifies the event.
