The "churn and return" trend in streaming services has been reshaping consumer behavior for the last two years, particularly among younger generations. According to Deloitte's "Digital Media Trends" study, nearly half of millennials and over a third of Gen Z in the U.S. have canceled and then resubscribed to the same streaming video service within a year. https://lnkd.in/eBFccV23

Is TV Planning Losing Sight of the Big Picture? 🤔 In today's TV landscape, audiences are spoiled for choice, with over 32,200 linear channels and a booming connected TV (CTV) market. Yet, amidst this abundance, one metric stands out: time spent with content. Nielsen data reveals that while overall TV usage has seen a slight uptick, CTV usage continues to surge, particularly among younger demographics, reaching nearly 40% of total TV usage. With CTV devices reaching 75% of individuals aged two and older, and streaming services hosting over 85% of available video titles, it's clear where the trend is headed. But amidst this complexity, understanding the time spent with broadcast, cable, and streaming content remains paramount for effective media planning. How do you prioritize time spent with TV content in your media strategy? #TVAdvertising #MediaPlanning #CTV #DataDrivenMarketing #StreamingTV #MediaAndEntertainment

"People – especially Millennials and Gen Z – are reevaluating their relationship with streaming services” The explosion of streaming platforms means that Americans now spend more every month on subscriptions than they do on gas, according to research by Tubi published in ADWEEK. No wonder that viewers want to cut costs by embracing ad-supported subscription models - more than 50% of Millennials and Gen Z believe they’re overspending on streaming.

A new high: streaming represented 40% of TV usage in June! Growth from almost all platforms is attributed to younger viewers, which makes sense since school is out.

Connected TV, or CTV, is a television that's hooked up to the internet 🛜. This means you can watch streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or YouTube directly on your TV without needing extra devices. CTV advertising works similarly to TV ads but online. Instead of showing ads to everyone, they target specific groups based on things like age and interests. Advertisers can pick where and when their ads appear and track how well they're doing, similar to online shopping for ads on your TV. CTV knows people's interests by collecting data 👀. When you watch streaming services on your smart TV, they track what you watch and for how long. They use this to create a profile about you, including your interests. Advertisers then use this info to show you ads you're more likely to be interested in, similar to online shopping suggestions based on your browsing history. #beingkltd #marketingagency #connectedtv #streaming #advertising #targeting #datacollection

🎃Streaming (new TV) Candy House: instead of bound by a cable subscription, we are hooked via our data. If you look at todays TV landscape, we have the widest choice and freedom in what to watch and where. We are liberated from the cable and linear Tv chokehold. And yet we become slaves: addicted to binge watching and those streaming services, that offer us the screen fare that we love to consume the most. We are paying for this “freedom” with our valuable data for that extra minute of entertainment and getting lost in the rabithole of shear limitless video catalogues. The data that we provide to these services is the raw material for the drug, that they concoct for us: constant new content to be discovered or old, nostalgic offer that feel like grandma’s homemade comfort food. The data allows for complete surveillance of what we like, love or hate; it is breadcrumbs that we lay out and then eat the candy house that it leads to. It is scary, comforting and addictive all in once: it is perfect entertainment with endless possibilities. Yet, as an industry we have some responsibility here: firstly, we must be more transparent about the data that we use. Secondly, we need to have standard on what data is collected and how we use it. Furthermore, there must be clear choices for consumers to opt out; maybe to pay for consumption instead of providing data. Finally we must be aware that data is a great opportunity indeed to enhance the service and to create happy customers. Let’s use it wisely. #streaming #tvstrategy #audience #data #newtv #futureoftv #netflix #youtube #cordcutting

86 percent of households in the U.S. have at least one streaming video service (Leichtman Research Group, 2023)? There’s no doubt we’re seeing more and more consumers opt for streaming platforms over cable, but what does this mean for advertisers? 💻 Trend No. 1: The Meteoric Rise of Streaming: In July 2023, linear TV dropped below 50 percent of total TV consumption, while streaming reached a record high of 38.7 percent, illustrating a pervasive shift from classic television. 💻 Trend No. 2: A Shift in Major League Sports: Key games in various sports, not just the NFL, are expected to fully embrace streaming the way Amazon has with Thursday Night Football. 💻 Trend No. 3: Retail Media Fuels Direct-from-TV Purchases: By fusing content and commerce, the TV-watching experience will gradually transition into a live purchasing experience. https://hubs.la/Q02qtKTl0 #MediaConsumption #StreamingServices #AdSpendTrends

Lots of streaming news today, and it all points to the importance of ads. The Axios chart below shows the price increases over time for ad-free subscription tiers (credit to Chris Walton for bringing this to my attention). Max’s commercial-less package is going up to $16.99, likely to make its ad tier—the most expensive in the market—more attractive. Then, we have studies from Xumo and Inscape (links below) showing two sides of the same coin: viewers with traditional MVPD subscriptions watch more FAST than cord cutters and cord nevers. And at the same time, over half of Smart TV viewers never access an MVPD or use an antenna. Looks like we’ll be retaining the parts of broadcast and cable TV that people like—namely bundling and free access to content—but with more consumer choice and control. All part and parcel of what Evan Shapīro has rightly dubbed the User-Centric Era. https://lnkd.in/eKbudbDE https://lnkd.in/e_q3txkV
