  1. Media Consumptionand EngagementCommittee Update February 15, 2007

  2. Establish Media Usage Map • Map the current consumer media behaviors (emphasis on video platforms) • How is it changing over time?

  3. We Want to Learn • How consumers interact with different media • How it changes over time • Home versus Workplace or some other place? • Rate of consumer adoption • Early adopters vs. those who bring up the rear • Rules of engagement • Percent of mind-share of each medium/device and how or whether this changes over time

  4. What does that mean for the future • Media consumption and engagement implications • Audience measurement implications

  5. MCE Study Objectives • Dimension current consumption of media—focusing on television and video—and how it is changing over time (and will change) in order to • Proposeoptimal form of video media measurement

  6. MCE Study Objectives • Focus: To understand how consumers are accessing content in addition to which content they are consuming. • Verify or dispel commonly held beliefs: • “The 30 second spot is dead; No one watches commercials any more” • “VCR’s have gone away, Everyone is taping things on their DVR’s” • “People are watching less TV; They’re all on the web or downloading shows on their iPods.”

  7. Mapping Media Usage • Divided between high-tech and low-tech users • Time/duration of each medium consumed • Simultaneous media usage • Multi-tasking with other media and non-media activities • By demo, ethnicity, socio-economic class, etc. • By high-speed broadband access • By ownership/usage of newer technologies • Incidence of time-shifting as well as means of navigating channel rich environments • Commercial vs. program behavior

  8. MCE RFP • We circulated a Request for Proposal document to the industry • Committee reviewed about a dozen proposals • Narrowed the group down to three finalists • Met with each finalist and had them answer additional questions • Selected research proposal submitted by Ball State University • Research will be executed via Observation Technique • Received approval in Fall ’06 to move ahead with the pilot study proposed by Ball State/Sequent Partners.

  9. Data Generated for each Participant • Demographics (Adults 18+) • Media ownership/access inventory • Video consumption to be collected in ten second intervals • All television, computer, out-of-home video, gaming, and hand-held device activity • Recording/time-shifting • Presence of co-viewers • Intentional vs. unintended viewing • Exposure to non-screen media for context (general, not genre) • Life activities – including those concurrent with media use • Apparent focus of attention

  10. Researching the Research • Met with Research Staff last week at CMD • Details of project management and execution were shared • Spoke to trained observers and project supervisors

  11. Impact on Future Measurement • Follow-up interviews the day after each observation • Part of the sample will include People from Households cycling off Nielsen’s national people meter sample (FTO’s) • Highly credible sample – spot differences among observational research, personal interviews, and Nielsen panel viewing • Identify gaps in Nielsen’s current measurement system • Guide for future audience research

  12. MCE/BSU/Sequent Partners: Next Steps • Based upon our review of the pilot study findings, the committee will vote on whether to recommend that the full study be implemented. • Established a set of criteria to be used to determine whether the pilot is successful. • We are extremely enthusiastic and very optimistic!
