Digital Digest March 26, 2020, R&R Partners 1 The Digital Digest March 26, 2020, R&R Partners Introduction We don’t need to download an app or wear a headset to experience the COVID-19 altered reality. Our daily lives and routines changed overnight, completely shifting how, when and where we consume media. TV is the shining star again as Americans are glued to their screens, waiting for the latest news between bingeing on shows. Digital is surging between telecommuting and scrolling through social feeds to feel less isolated during a time of social distancing. Below reveals how channel consumption has modified since coronavirus entered our lives like a wrecking ball. Your marketing efforts should reflect these paramount shifts. COVID-19’s Impact on Media Consumption by Channel Data is being updated by the day and still not released by some platforms, but this is what we know so far: • TV: Traditional TV is center stage again. Nielsen estimates TV usage to rise nearly 60%. • CTV/OTT: Nielsen also found an average 61% increase in streaming video via the TV. Top apps used are Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu. Disney Plus is on the rise thanks to the early release of Frozen 2. • Digital: Everyone is spending more time online, both on desktop and mobile. Laptop/desktop usage increased by 40% and mobile increased by 53.3%* week over week. • Social Media: Social distancing grows social media with 46% increase* week over week. • Audio: A Nielson perceptual study from earlier this week reports that 83% of U.S. adults have continued or increased their radio consumption due to COVID-19, and Spotify and Pandora are seeing global streams rise. • Out-of-home: While quarantines may halt the commute temporarily, marketers can turn to street-level OOH and place-based digital OOH to reach consumers as they’re walking through their cities for essential shopping or to get some vitamin D. Digital OOH also offers immediate creative adjustments given tonality is so critical during this time. *Source: Colling Media Optimize Your Channels & Media Campaigns COVID-19 changed everything you knew about your audience behaviors. Now what? Quickly make shifts to remain in front of your audience through channel adjustments and bid optimizations. It is important to be vigilant in brand safety and monitoring so pivots and responses can be made in real time. 2 Channel Shift Suggestions: • TV: Viewership is increasing, but for how long? People are watching more TV since they're stuck at home, but they're missing out on live sports content, which, in turn, is forcing viewers to sample other programming. Networks are showing a +30% week-to- week increase in audiences for Prime programming because people are home more and the NBA, NCAA, NHL and MLB seasons have been postponed or canceled. The one sports bright spot is that the NFL has yet to announce any postponement, free agency is moving forward, and the Draft is still on schedule for April 23−25. Production of most late-night shows has been halted or is on a skeleton crew, and daytime programming is likely all new content to discover for the new work-from-home audience. Adjust daypart mixes to include more daytime in the next 30 days to capitalize on this new “home” audience. News continues to be a strong performer, but be wary of too much doom and gloom as ongoing news evolves. • CTV/OTT: If you haven’t already, shift budget into streaming video. The new work-from-home audience is more likely to start a new series on Netflix or Hulu than begin watching daytime TV series or soap operas. Reach sports fans through Hulu’s latest curated sports fans PMP, which targets those who are avid sports viewers but are watching other shows now. Reevaluate your win rates and max bids to remain competitive in this space. You may want to adjust bids based on some notable floor-rate shifts as well: o Sling $24 à $20 o Discovery $20 à$14 o Tastemade $17 à$15 o VRV $18.75 à $17.75 o Turner $24 à $16 • Digital: Remove geo-fencing targeting (nobody is there). Increase investment in pre-roll/TrueView given the increased streaming that’s also happening on desktop and mobile. Implement negative or sentiment block lists to ensure a brand-safe environment, especially with YouTube allowing creators to monetize videos about COVID-19. Increase vertical video inventory for mobile streaming. • Social Media: People are seeking free content to watch; adjust buys to serve in Facebook’s in-stream video, which includes Facebook Watch’s original series. • Audio: Radio proves to be a trusted resource for consumers during these uncertain times. With audiences turning to radio for local news, it’s safe to keep radio plans intact (including terrestrial, streaming and podcasts). Focus radio on key dayparts and increase it in streaming audio, including podcasts and music. Similar to bingeing on TV shows, consumers are also catching up on all their favorite podcasts. • OOH: OOH will continue to be an important part of the mix. In short term, look to redistribute OOH budget to locally relevant digital boards and street-level placements if available (shelters, posters, bike share, urban panels, etc.) and continue to monitor messaging sensitively to local COVID-19 protocols. For additional considerations and pivots to make to your marketing plans, read R&R’s COVID-19 Insights. 3 Buzzword: OTT vs. CTV • OTT: stands for “over the top,” which is video content that is served to viewers over the traditional closed television system. With OTT, users don’t need to subscribe or pay a cable or satellite company to watch video content since the majority of content is served via the internet. • CTV: stands for “connected TV” and is any TV set used to stream video over the internet. These are most often videos that are streamed via apps that are downloaded. Devices include smart TV, gaming consoles and connected devices (e.g., Roku, Amazon Fire Stick Apple TV, etc.) Read more .

  • Filmmaking Theory for Vertical Video Production
    Filmmaking Theory for Vertical Video Production Rafe Clayton, University of Bolton, United Kingdom The European Conference on Media, Communication & Film 2019 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Smartphones have changed the moving image landscape and now mobile users are consuming more vertical video than ever before (Richards 2017). In particular, vertical video is gaining popularity amongst content makers for social media since the aspect ratio typically suits how mobile phone users hold their phones and therefore how they are now watching video content (ScientiaMobile 2019). In recent years the 9:16 aspect ratio has established itself as an emerging requirement within the professional video market since companies have realised the commercial value of creating video vertically for mobile consumption (Neal and Ross 2018). In order to stand out, creators are being encouraged to broadcast content that is better quality than that which their audience is capable of creating themselves (Social Chain 2018). The film industry has spent over a hundred years specializing in the production of horizontal videography and there is a distinct absence of literature and training which can help support vertical filmmakers as they learn their craft. As the distinction between amateur and corporate vertical video content continues to blur (Neal and Ross 2018), scholastic work helping to identify some of the techniques, equipment, approaches and methods by which professionals can separate themselves from non-professionals is useful. This paper is the author’s reflection on the current literature and practice that surrounds the phenomenon of vertical video production and attempts to bring together his own research with the scattered and often inconsistent pieces of advice and inspiration that have been published in print, online and on video.

However, before the alarm bells start ringing, let us clarify: we are no longer in the golden age of entertainment because today, entertainment is everything. We live in an attention economy where viewership, clicks, and likes control influence, relevance, and the bottom line. Consequently, every experience, product, and piece of content is being created with the entertainment factor in mind—from news stories and video tutorials to influencer personas and bathrooms (yes, bathrooms). All of this sounds good in theory—after all, who doesn’t love to be entertained?! But for marketers and content creators, it means that creating compelling media has gotten that much harder.

    Video Landscape Report IAB Digital Video Center of Excellence May 2018, 4th Edition Table of Contents Introduction 3 Background 4 Executive Summary 5 Landscape 7 Growth Opportunities 18 Challenges & Solutions 35 Emerging Trends 46 IAB Call to Action 49 IAB Resources 50 Closing Thoughts 51 2 Introduction In early 2018 at the IAB Annual Leadership Meeting, IAB announced a paradigm-shifting thesis to capture, explain and understand an “enduring shift in the way the consumer economy operates”, a shift from a century old “indirect brand economy” to a “direct brand economy” characterized by data-driven, digitally native, and customer experience-obsessed upstart brands with direct connections to consumers. They are disrupting the legacy business model of marketing and driving the growth of a new consumer economy. All digital publishers, media companies, technology and data solution providers in the ecosystem have an important role to play in building the “attention stack” that both direct and indirect brands can leverage to scale their growth and/or empower their digital transformation. Video, with the on-going convergence between traditional TV and digital video, has become an integral and powerful part of this attention stack for all 21st century brands in the new direct brand economy. However, the constant change and confluence of technological innovations and consumer behavior shifts also cast new questions around video - What does video mean? What will it become? How is video used to reach, engage, and drive attention and action? It is absolutely imperative to understand the complex and evolving ecosystem of video advertising to guide both buy-side and sell-side perspectives and decisioning.
