The document discusses a case study of ESPN's InPlay mobile app, which provided a second screen experience for viewers watching the 2012 US Open Tennis Tournament. The app allowed users to participate in live trivia games and predictive questions related to the matches as well as view leaderboards and share on social media. It saw much higher than anticipated user traffic, with over 20,000 visitors per night and over 100,000 total users over the two week period. The case study examines best practices for driving audience engagement through mobile second screen experiences and key learnings around content, social integration, and measurement across platforms.
If 2014 was the year of mobile, 2015 is most definitely the year of Rich Media.
Mobile ad spend is expected to increase 77%, in 2015. We will see sophisticated and creative collaboration in 2015, as content creators build audiences that rival those of pop stars and brands grasp just how powerful mobile can be. In order for brands to get the most ROI for their mobile advertising spend, they need to invest in Rich Media, to create immersive experiences, transforming their level of engagement with consumers.
In FreshDigitalGroup’s “Rethink 2015,” we take an in-depth look at the following Rich Media predictions in addition to forecasts for digital, mobile and social industries.
We are living in an era where data from multiple devices and connected objects and software systems are being intertwined to create a multitude of new services and performances– all without ruining the consumer experience.
If Apple Watch is successful, it will consolidate and standardize our expectations of wearable technology, in the same way that the iPhone did for the mobile market in 2007. This broad acceptance of the digitally-enhanced self will pave the way for other technologies that are still emerging at the fringes of the consumer domain.

23 slides on the use-cases of Apple's BLE – Bluetooth Low Energy – beacon technology that allows for the first time to precisely locate a person within pre-defined proximity of a sensor and to communicate with that person contextually.
But where's the beef? NFC, QR-codes and WLAN tracking were promising that before and never caught on.
The slide-deck provides an answer to that question by addressing the most important use-cases as well as dealing with privacy and technologies issues of the nascent technology.

Second Screen Strategy: Planning For (And Against) A Multi-Screen WorldBen Grossman
Today, 90% of media consumption is screen based. In 2014, the number of mobile devices in the world will exceed the global population. By 2018, there will be 1.4 connected mobile devices per person. That means that, as people move through the world, they will increasingly move with at least one other screen in hand (and even more devices on hand).
While the Second Screen revolution may have started with distracted television viewers, today, the multi-screen world demands marketers who know how to plan for it. This presentation breaks down second screen strategy into actionable advice for brands and marketers. These trends in consumer behavior apply to all brands that seek to connect with the people who matter most to them in an increasingly screen-based world. It has been presented at the Nordic Media Summit (Copenhagen) and the Event Marketing Summit (Salt Lake City).
Marketers are starting to use the second screen (smartphones, tablets, PCs) to complement the first screen (TV). While it’s still early days—with tactics so far ranging from basic to innovative—this report highlights the potential here for brands, with examples to illustrate.

Drones are a different kind of new technology from what we’re used to. They offer something else: the conquest of physical space, the extension of society’s compass, the ability to be anywhere and see anything.
For the past few years, one of the most exciting class of gadgets on display has been drones. They got cheaper, lighter, and easier to use even as they became more powerful.
We believe 2015 is an important year for drones as they will change how brands interact with consumers in both advertising and events, and here's everything you need to know about the drone technology.
If 2014 was the year of mobile, 2015 is most definitely the year of Rich Media.
Mobile ad spend is expected to increase 77%, in 2015. We will see sophisticated and creative collaboration in 2015, as content creators build audiences that rival those of pop stars and brands grasp just how powerful mobile can be. In order for brands to get the most ROI for their mobile advertising spend, they need to invest in Rich Media, to create immersive experiences, transforming their level of engagement with consumers.
In FreshDigitalGroup’s “Rethink 2015,” we take an in-depth look at the following Rich Media predictions in addition to forecasts for digital, mobile and social industries.

2. Old Media
We used to have a filtered, one-way view of events in the
world from media. America‘s perspective of it, or the
world‘s perspective of that event, would be seen through
the lens of the way that the media described it to them…
Now with more interactive social media, people want to
know what everyone else thinks and we‘re getting this
inside-out, multi-perspective view of what‘s going on right
now, as it happens from everybody else that‘s watching
the same thing we‘re watching.

3. New Media Impact:
2nd screen can help to optimize marketing spend
While TV and display are attractive to marketers to generate immediate reach,
there is increasing evidence that the impact of these types of advertising media
are on the decline. Why? Consumers aren‘t seeing the ads. Some companies
have reported that more than 60% of all display ads are not viewed or are only
in view for less than a second online. TV has an attention-deficit problem --
more than 84% of people are doing something else while watching it. Thus, it
takes great skill to ensure you are on the right programs or sites at the right
time to make sure your message is getting through.
The solution lies in mobile and a cross-screen advertising strategy, and daily
there is growing evidence around the effectiveness of 2nd screen engagement.
Since mobile is a lean-forward experience, you have a captive audience who
can not only consume your message but can also engage for longer periods of
time. That‘s key for any brand looking to drive both awareness and
engagement, ultimately resulting in demand and word-of-mouth. Thus mobile
is the ad effectiveness platform and has proven in several studies to provide
brand lift.
We Strategize. We Execute. We Deliver. On All Screens.

4. Why the 2nd Screen Matters
The evolution in what people do while watching TV has been widely covered in
both the consumer and trade press. For certain kinds of popular content,
consumers are beginning to expect tailored experiences to be available. The
most sophisticated smart device users are disappointed when they are not.
There are three things driving this:
Increased smart device ownership by an increasingly tech-savvy user base.
Improved digital infrastructure, both in and out of the home.
The digitization of other activity in a consumer‘s life.
Consumers have become increasingly technology-literate and this has trickled
down into their TV consumption, affecting long-established habits. What would
previously have been considered ‗sophisticated‘ TV activities such as
streaming TV online and purchasing digital content are now common. The
multi-screen home is also now commonplace, with many households owning a
number of laptops, smartphones or tablet computers.

5. A Few Facts, Stats & Survey Learnings
• 63% of consumers watch TV while using their tablets
• 41% of the tablet owners surveyed said that the total time that they spent watching TV is devoted to
a two-screen experience that switches back and forth from the TV to the tablet.
• 36 % of two-screen users said that their attention is primarily on their tablet while watching TV. The
same percentage of consumers surveyed said that they split their time equally between their tablet
and TV.
• 28%of consumers surveyed said that the TV was the primary screen that they paid attention to.
This suggests that the tablet is more than just a complementary screen for TV viewers – instead it
is being used as a main screen that consumers are spending substantial time with.
• 25% of two-screen viewers visited a network or show‘s Web site or app while watching TV.
• 12% of consumers in the study looked for information from a show being watched. 16% of
consumers in the study watched a video clip that related to the show being watched.
• Shopping on mobile devices will ring up $20.7B this year, and $5B will come from tablets.
• 12% of consumers bought an advertised product while watching TV.
• Purchases on tablets are generally average $10 higher than those on phones.

6. Types of 2nd Screen Experiences
Connect TV Second screen enables the user to have a more personal
and immersive experience with their television program of choice. Users can
view additional content, such as extra scenes or previews, or participate in
real time polls regarding the shows they are watching. This breaks the notion
that the user is simply a spectator and engages them with meaningful
interaction with the programs they‘re passionate about.
Social TV Utilizing Social Media on a Second Screen allows for users to
ultimately experience TV in an unique fashion. Social-TV permits users to
communicate in real-time what their thoughts and feelings are in relation to a
program or sports event. Status updates and tweets are already firmly present
in the mobile environment, therefore connecting it with an everyday activity
such as watching TV is the next logical step. Brands can create their own
dialogue with a consumer around the television content they are watching, and
because they‘re already interacting socially and communicating on multiple
devices, this conversation can happen organically.

and meet consumer expectations for the second screen; not
because they can, but because they should.

proven potential to change the way audiences consume TV.
There is a perfect storm on the horizon that sees consumer

10. ESPN InPlay: LIVE 2nd Screen Trivia Experience
ESPN InPlay was a cross-platform mobile web
experience built for the 2012 US Open Tennis
Tournament. Built utilizing HTML5 and responsive web
design to produce a fully functional backend, the app
was equipped with a customized CMS to enable real-
time product updates during broadcast times. This
allowed for a rich experience, where the user was able
to interact with predictive and historical trivia
questions as well as utilize Twitter and Facebook to
see what others were saying about the match. The user
could also instantly jump into a conversation and
tweet a response or comment to their Facebook wall.

13. Predictive Question Functionality
One of the key features during the trivia, was developing a predictive questioning backend with the ESPN
editorial dept. This was unique for a live action broadcast because we were able to create a relevant content
extension. For example, since predictive questions were based on two players who were featured on the TV,
what happens to a predictive question when the coverage shows another match and the earlier predictive
question hadn't been answered yet? Well, we we worked to close that loop hole by separating predictive
question logic from the players. Thus a predictive question is completely open ended and anything can be
asked.

17. Media Promotion
ESPN promoted the InPlay experience during live broadcasts, commercial breaks,
on the ESPN's breaking news ticker, FDG promoted it on blogs, Facebook, etc.
Trivia players were encouraged to follow along with the experience on their
smartphone or tablet by watching the live matches broadcast on ESPN2 from 7-
11pm Monday through Friday throughout the US Open Tennis Tournament.
All of this helps to bring brand consideration into the real world for consumers.
What we‘ve learned is not to create content for contents sake and to not lose their
attention. This appeals to the advertiser and the network partner.
We‘ve also learned that ideally, creative can drive the look and feel, but taking in
real time research to optimize the experience is also important. And let‘s not forget
that the social conversation, is content. And we all know content is king.

―We're really thinking that this is a bigger cultural shift," said Lou Paskalis, VP-global media content development and
mobile marketing at American Express. Lou says the company envisions consumers using mobile devices not only to
chat and communicate, but also to look for product details and make purchases. Consumers may not mind marketing
messages being placed properly on new screens when they accompany something that benefits the fan.

23. Learnings
Integrate, integrate, integrate. Brands need to understand how their customers use all types of
media, design strategies for each channel, and integrate messaging across them. Advertisers
want reach and 2nd screen can provide it.
Social matters. Brand IQ around social is higher with 2nd screen and using the social channel
via the 2nd screen can empower the user. Can the user control the content?
Count correctly. Different devices are used differently and metrics and conversion goals need to
reflect that. Identify the paths to conversion based on the devices that your consumers use. The
Challenge is keeping up where consumers are experiencing an ad and measure across the divide.
Optimize. Since consumers rely on search to connect sessions across screens, brands need to
insist on keyword consistency across campaigns and devices. Continue to invest in search engine
optimization (SEO) to maintain a healthy presence in SERPs and enjoy the same rankings in the
mobile world as in the desktop world.
Win. Any good plan should be half based on content and context and the other half by audience
and intelligence. Thus for brands there is enormous opportunities to innovate and drive even
higher monetization, tailor promotions to users and make it easier for advertisers to dynamically
adapt campaigns across devices.

24. Key Findings
Data is Important. There are still challenges to targeting and marketers need data on
what to do to create better scale and effectiveness. But in order for multiscreen to work
there needs to be consistent measurement and metrics between the different formats.
Tablets are king. Engagement on tablets surpasses engagement on smartphones.
And higher engagement aids advertisers. Thus, across key dimensions – use &
consumption, the receptivity and action related to advertising, and the activity of
shopping – tablet users are more easily engaged. Tablets are a media consumption
hub, with nearly 70% of tablet users reporting that their tablet is an ―entertainment
device.‖
Creative drives Consumption. Make creative the center of the environment. The future
is real cross-platform measurement. Today it‘s the audiences choice & ads with media
should be more rich.

25. 5 Ways to bring a 2nd Screen experience to TV
More information – simple and effective, if you‘ve got content with strong engagement, people are going to
want more information about the cast, the story, etc. IMDB sees traffic spike at commercial breaks and so
will your mobile site and/or app. When trying to encourage multi- screen behavior, let viewers know that
there‘s something waiting for them, right now, that they can‘t get elsewhere – a separate ending, interviews
with the cast, clues to an upcoming episode.
Interaction – engagement is a challenge to define, but any advertiser would prefer that someone take an
action of any kind over them sitting passively. That action might be commercial (a registration or even
purchase) but it might also be simply brand related. Take a virtual test drive of the hero‘s car or enter to win
a sponsored trip to the set.
Influence outcomes – reality TV has trained us that we can be part of the show. Voting, user- generated
storylines and submitted content are powerful mechanisms for viewer loyalty and viral reach.
Product discovery – consumers may shy away from some advertising, but they (hopefully) embrace the
products and services being pitched. The second screen is a natural shopping companion to the television.
Education and Self improvement – the growth of how-to, food and personal growth programming should
remind us that the television is where many people get the inspiration and motivation for growth. The
television is the perfect place to discover a new exercise program, but a mobile device is the place to make
it real, to get a walk-through of the specifics, chart progress and to interact with others who have made it, not
to mention purchase related products.

26. Success Metrics
Importance of UX
Acknowledging the importance of the UX has to be the foundation of any hyper-media
strategy, where the consumers‘ attention to a single content theme moves from one
device and format to another.
It‘s clear that people are willing to have a second-screen experience, and that some of
the time they want it to relate to what they‘re watching. But advertisers and publishers
are going to have to create fun and useful experiences that are good enough to
compete with the rest of the digital world and learn how to cross-promote between
platforms. Most importantly, they‘ll have to create these second spaces (and the
ad/sponsorship packages that include them) in such a way as to enhance the
advertiser‘s brand impact, not distract from it.
Having content that‘s a good compliment to the primary screen is the place to start, but
it‘s not the finish line. Experiences have to be easy to access, compelling and timely.
Brands that move to rapidly embrace this reality will have a clear advantage. They‘ll
have an edge in understanding how to introduce their messaging to multi-screen
consumers regardless of the evolution of their devices, behaviors and interests.

27. Questions and a Look Ahead
How important to advertisers are the dynamic between reach and frequency? If
various levels of reach and frequency create dramatically differentiated results, will
advertisers measure this? Will they manage it?
When will advertisers orchestrate ad experiences across space and time? For
instance, showing ads simultaneously on multiple screens? Or spreading ad
exposures across multiple screens, strategically, as a consumer moves through their
day—navigating the physical space of home, work, leisure?
In the dynamic, innovative ad environment we work in, the answers to these questions
may be years away—or just weeks. One question, we hope, is now closer to a
definitive answer: that multi-screen advertising works, and it may be controlled to
achieve a business outcome.
Key Insight: TV and digital media are not natural rivals for advertiser
budgets, but natural partners.

28. Summary
The viewers are increasingly playing their part in this second screen evolution. The
wave of technological change that has swept through the media landscape over the
past two years has not only developed tech-savvy users and given them the ability to
more easily participate in companion activities, it is increasingly instilling expectations
to be able to do so.
Unlike consumers, who view the role of companions as enhancing their viewing
experience, motivations on the ‗supply-side‘ are far more hard-nosed, and boil down to
commercial decisions such as commissioning, marketing and expanded advertising
opportunities. Furthermore, some value chain participants, such as advertisers, may
have the ability to produce interesting content experiences but lack a platform through
which to reach audiences; they therefore partner with broadcasters, platforms or
emergent third parties.
Multi-screen advertising has proven to be so effective that it is certain to persist for a
long time. The industry is at the beginning of that journey. As the use of data science,
and scalable ad targeting technologies develop, so too will the ―playbook‖ for multi-
screen advertisers.

31. Food for thought: Are Tablets the DVR antidote?
The tablet may be the best thing to ever happen to the modern TV. A second screen can reduce the amount of time
viewers spend skipping ads, according to a just-released study that from Bravo with Latitude Research on
multiscreen viewers.
Nearly two-thirds of the study participants said that having access to a laptop, mobile phone or tablet while watching
TV made them less inclined to skip the ads. Specifically, Bravo said that if viewers had a phone, laptop and a TV on
hand they fast forwarded at the start of 40% of ad breaks. Dual-screeners with a smartphone and TV skipped ads
51% of the time.
Tri-screeners were observed to have over 13 attention shifts away from the TV – mostly to other screens – while the
actual show was airing, and dual-screeners had over 7 attention shifts away from TV. Multi-screeners were found to
be viewing mostly ad-friendly content on their companion screens, with participants spending the greatest share of
their time on websites and apps – often related to the program currently airing
Those findings suggest that tablet and smartphone screens may represent an untapped opportunity to ―capture‖ the
TV viewers when they‘re looking away, because they‘re often looking up info related to the show or the ad. Along
these lines, Nielsen found that among simultaneous TV and tablet viewers, about 37% of tablet users looked up
information related to the program they were watching, while 27% looked up information related to an ad.
Given that more than 15 percent of TV homes in the U.S. own a tablet, this mobile device may turn out to be a vital
link in reconnecting ad-skipping viewers back to brands. Bravo said that about half of multiscreen viewers were more
likely to remember brands if they‘d seen their ads on more than one screen. Ad Awareness lift for brands embedded
within the viewing session improved among viewers who had cross-screen ad exposure, helping to almost entirely
overcome any effectiveness shortfall resulting from DVR-enabled ad avoidance

32. Understanding the Digital Day Maps how Media
Consumption Flows
• Users are connecting digitally throughout the day. Media consumption
follows a pattern regardless of device type.
• Time/day part provides window into consumer habits.
• High Frequency of use times are represented by personal time – at ‗wake-
up‘, ‗waiting‘, ‗bedtime‘, ‗TV time‘, ‗after work‘.
• While shopping and commuting show smaller frequency of use – this may
be due to the ‗addressable market‘
- Not always as a daily activity: unlike ‗waking up‘, ‗shopping‘ may only
happen once a week or a few times per week.
- Limited Audience: similarly ‗commuting‘ is not applicable to all as is
‗bedtime‘
