2. TV & Online Synergy • There is little doubt that Canadians are spending more time than ever online, however contrary to some reports online is having little effect on TV viewing • In fact, the results of this study indicate that 40-50% of people surveyed under the age of 55 use the Internet while simultaneously watching Television, and, they pay attention to both alternatively • Rather than taking away from time spent with Television, people are using both TV and the Internet at the same time • While viewers have several options available to choose from, they overwhelmingly choose to watch TV on a TV set in the comfort of their home as opposed to a computer or mobile device screen

3. TV & Online Synergy • In addition, there is a symbiotic relationship for advertisers • More than half of those surveyed under the age of 55 have gone online based on something they saw in a television commercial • Of those people, most researched the product or service or requested information, but a significant proportion go on to make an online purchase • This result highlights the unique role that Television and the Internet each have in the “purchase funnel”

4. TV & Online Synergy • Television at the top of the purchase funnel provides a very immersive environment which enables advertisers to create a need state among customers/viewers (see Innerscope Media Effectiveness Study) • The Internet further down the purchase funnel provides advertisers with a very flexible environment which enables them to provide customers with the additional information they require before making a purchase, or in some cases facilitates the purchase
