The latest in Mindshare's 'Future Of...' series focuses on connected TV.
Our view is that the connectivity that viewers enjoy on the sofa via the second screen will prove of more significance to media and marketing than the connected TV itself.

Passive Entertainment Social focal point The big screen, quality
experience

15. Companion content on the second screen goes with the
grain of natural viewing behaviour
15
16. Personal nature of social makes it better suited to
second screen
‘Having social
applications on your
phone or tablet is
perfect. If you had it on
your TV, you would be
distracted from the main
attraction (the TV show)’
‘General’ Social
16
17. Social TV commentary is more complementary and less
intrusive on the second screen
Social TV commentary
‘My concern would be the conflict within
families between those using the screen for
social things and those using it for
entertainment.’
18. Social TV recommendations on the second screen can
be more personalised
‘I would prefer it if the TV
could link to other devices so
those wanting to chat online
could do so without
impacting the viewing
experiences of others’
Social programme recommendation
19. Viewers are keen on transactions prompted from the TV
Wow! Nice one… At
last an idea that
would really, truly
benefit me through TV
Content driven transactions
19
20. The opportunity for browsing makes the second screen
the natural place for transactions
The whole advantage of
the Internet is the ability
to shop around and find
the best deal, not just buy
what you see first

26. Services that depend on inter-device connectivity will
gain traction
Home network Content bookmarking Remote control
content sharing

27. Limited appetite for „long tail‟ of apps on the connected TV
‘The TV serves a
purpose; it does
what it says it does
and does not need
to do anything more
than that – that’s
what computers are
for.’
