17. - Based on the responses of millenials between the ages of 18-34, data showed that
50% of respondents were users of Netflix, while only 1% of respondents were users
of DirectTV Now.
- Hulu followed secondly behind Netflix with data showing that 23% of respondents
were users of Hulu
30. Limitations
● Respondents to our survey likely accessed the survey from
a social media platform, limiting the number of potential
respondents who may have been willing to take the
survey, had it been marketed further.
● Although there was an option for “other” to act as open
ended question, respondents may not have entered in a
device that was not on the available options for answers,
due to lack of recall.
● Faulty representation of entire population due to age and
gender limitations
31. Conclusions
● Netflix dominates the streaming service industry in regards
to at home and mobile streaming.
● Traditional methods of content consumption are vastly
tapering off with the introduction of streaming providers
such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video.
● In the climate of today’s movie and production industry, it
is essential for marketers to implement and execute
campaigns that focus on short term promotions, i.e.
quarterly campaigns as opposed to annual campaigns.
32. Conclusions
❖ Consumers are more likely to watch content if it
was recommended by a friend or family member
❖ Consumers consumption patterns vary depending
on which streaming platform they are using
❖ Consumers primarily use Netlfix & Hulu to watch
TV shows and a mix of other platforms to watch
movies
33. Future Research
● Polling older generations
● Implementing a similar survey in future years in order
to gain information on new technology and methods
of media consumption
● Polling different cultures in an effort to compare and
contrast media consumption across the globe
Editor's Notes
Different streaming platforms have different methods of advertising. Netflix has no ads, but some of their shows may feature specific brands (if the brand pays for it). On the other hand, Hulu does have commercials in-between their shows (but does offer an ad-free option for a premium).

Results could be skewed in favor of the smartphone/tablet response because we asked “do you own or currently use any of the following devices to view TV shows or movies” and respondents could have misinterpreted the question and just selected smartphone because they own one, not because they stream content from it.
The results don’t add up to 100% because it was a select all that apply question
Respondents were less likely to watch content if it was promoted by an influensor or after seeing it was trending on social media
Unfortunately, we did not ask an overall question about viewing time spent watching TV versus movies in general. We only asked these questions with regards to the specific streaming platforms.
We asked respondents to rank social media platforms based on how often they saw TV show or movie recommendations on each one.
Respondents ranked Facebook #1 for being the platform where they saw the most referrals for TV shows and movies
Surprisingly Twitter was ranked last
As mentioned earlier we had an uneven ratio of females and males who answered our survey. This could be because there are more girls in our group than boys and when we shared it on social media girls were more likely to respond to it.
