Switching between online, TV, and stored content is frustrating
Because content lives in various places, we need a better solution to access
it

20. Content Discovery
Content discovery on TV is beginning to replicate
how we search and discover content on the web
Service innovators and digital natives such as
Google/Microsoft/Apple/Facebook are now getting involved in the TV arena
They are looking at ways to apply the web behaviour of discovering and
sharing content to TV viewing
Facebook frictionless sharing • Amazon recommendations • Twitter trending topics • Google
search

TV will be linked to your calendar and will schedule events and programmes
to remind you of viewing
Content discovery tomorrow

With the current average linear TV consumption standing at around
20 -30 hours per week, online video consumption is ADDING 25% to
that total.

(globally) past 690 Billion minutes by 2015 [source PR Web]
UK Video Viewership

31. Next Generation Video
When Machinima launched the Mortal Kombat series, we saw millions and
millions of viewers coming weekly to the series – from around the world,
and beat the ratings of many very well established shows. This trend
means we can expose new series, or re-ignite existing ones, in front of a
massive, targeted and global audience, instantly.
New video content networks keep popping up

32. Next Generation Video
Brands as TV content producers and publishers
NewYork Times app which serves up video content on news stories.
Red Bull as a brand that creates hours and hours of programming
for both TV and websites and is one of the biggest brands on
Facebook, with some 10 million followers
Majority of brands are not looking to
monetise their TV apps to begin with, rather
use them for halo effect
