Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion’s share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. From fourth quarter 2012 to fourth-quarter 2013, the hours consumers spent watching online video grew 30%. When managed together, TV/digital/mobile hold the potential to drive real impact for advertisers—enabling them to maximize the customers they reach and/or reinforce key messaging across screens. After all, ‘It’s all about screens’.

CBS
The Tiffany Network was #1 again for the fourth straight day. At 8P, on an abbreviated evening of programming, the biggest drama in the world was a rerun of ‘NCIS’, in an episode titled, ‘Kill The Messenger’ which drew 11.835 million viewers. At 9P, ‘The State of the Union’ Presidential address, was led by CBS every half hour as it brought in 7.00 million viewers. At 1030P, a rerun of ‘Mike & Molly’ drew 3.88 million viewers. The resurgent CBS News is back when Murrow and Cronkite headed up the operations.
NBC
The Peacock Network finished a distant second place in prime time on Tuesday. At 8P, ‘Parks & Recreation’ drew 4.08 million viewers. At 830P, ‘Parks & Recreation’ drew 3.63 million viewers. At 9P-10P, ‘The State of the Union’ Presidential address drew 5.26 million viewers, as it finished second during each of the primary half hours. At 1030P, it continued with ‘The State of the Union’ Presidential address and finished with 3.89 million viewers. This was a battle between CBS and NBC news coverage. Sarnoff’s Segment did not do well on this evening.
ABC
The Alphabet Network finished a distant third behind CBS. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Marvel’s Agent Carter’ finished with 3.245 million viewers. At 9P, ‘The State of the Union’ Presidential address drew 4.30 million viewers as it finished third in each of the half hours. At 1030P, a rerun of ‘Black-ish’ drew 3.25 million viewers. What happened to the pop-news leader in the morning. Obviously when serious news is at hand, people turn to CBS.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast didn’t fare as well as one might have imagined. It too found its flock sitting on their hands. At 8P, ‘MasterChef Jr’ drew 5.42 million viewers, finished second in the time slot. But at 9P, ‘The State of the Union’ President address drew only 3.05 million viewers, finishing last in each half hour compared to the other newscasts.

The Little Network That Couldn’t blew the roof off of its audience ceiling. At 8P, ‘The Flash’ drew 3.73 million viewers, one of its bigger performances of the year. At 9P, ‘Supernatural’ drew 2.53 million viewers. It was within a flash of beating FOX on this night.

Digital/Mobile News
Facebook nearing 1 Billion Mobile Users Worldwide
Nearly 75%s of Facebook’s ad revenues will come from mobile this year.
Nearly 1 billion Facebook users worldwide will access the social network on a mobile phone at least once each month in 2015, according to a new forecast from eMarketer, which for the first time breaks out mobile phone Facebook users by country.
Over 70% of all Facebook users globally will be mobile this year, and by 2018, more than three-quarters of the social network’s audience will access the platform via mobile phones on a regular basis, totaling 1.34 billion users.
It’s no secret that mobile has been the key driver of growth in Facebook’s advertising business in the past 12 months. In 2013, 45.0% of Facebook’s $6.99 billion in advertising revenues worldwide came via mobile ads. This year, mobile ads will account for 73.0%—or $10.90 billion—of the social network’s ad revenues worldwide, eMarketer estimates.
“Facebook has been a leader helping marketers to transition to mobile advertising,” said Debra Aho Williamson, principal analyst at eMarketer. “Because the Facebook experience is basically the same across devices, advertisers don’t have to reinvent the wheel to place mobile advertising. As Facebook’s user base shifts even more heavily toward mobile, it is well positioned to see increasing ad revenues from this channel.”
Overall, there will be 1.58 billion mobile phone social network users worldwide in 2015, according to eMarketer. Even considering the ban in China and strong local social networks in other large-population countries like Russia, mobile Facebook users will still represent more than 60% of the worldwide mobile social audience.
The US will remain the largest market for mobile phone Facebook users this year, and nearly 80% of users in the country, or 123.1 million people, will access the site regularly via mobile phones. Mobile ads will account for 74.0% of the company’s ad revenues stateside, eMarketer estimates, slightly higher than its share on a worldwide basis.
India—the world’s second-largest Facebook audience—will surpass 100 million mobile phone Facebook users for the first time this year, and by 2017, will have more mobile Facebook users than the US. The third-largest mobile phone Facebook audience is in Indonesia, which also has the highest penetration among the top 10 countries in terms of mobile phone Facebook users—92.4% of Facebook’s audience there accesses the network from mobile phones at least once per month. By 2018, that penetration will rise to 98.8%. The UK and Russia are the only other countries in the top 10 where mobile phone Facebook users will account for more than 90% of all Facebook users during our forecast period.
eMarketer bases all of its forecasts on a multipronged approach that focuses on both worldwide and local trends in the economy, technology and population, along with company-, product-, country- and demographic-specific trends, and trends in specific consumer behaviors. We analyze quantitative and qualitative data from a variety of research firms, government agencies, media outlets and company reports, weighting each piece of information based on methodology and soundness.
In addition, every element of each eMarketer forecast fits within the larger matrix of all its forecasts, with the same assumptions and general framework used to project figures in a wide variety of areas. Regular re-evaluation of each forecast means those assumptions and framework are constantly updated to reflect new market developments and other trends.
Advertising Research Notes
2014 Most Memorial TV Ads For Millennials
Fast food and QSR ads performed well with Millennials (18-33) last year, says Nielsen in a review of the most memorable English-language ads among this demographic. Wendy’s spot, “Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger Be With You Song” emerged as the leader with a brand memorability index of 338, meaning that it was 3.38 times more likely to be remembered and associated with the right brand among Millennials than the typical ad. Nielsen also notes that food ads comprised 8 of the top 10 ads among African-American Millennials and 9 of the top 10 among Hispanic Millennials, though they didn’t have quite the same appeal among Asian-Americans of this age, who only placed 3 in their top 10. Overall, humorous ads and those that “touted an ownable campaign concept” appeared to be the most memorable. Among advertising categories, QSRs were second in ad spend through the first three-quarters of the year with $3.4 billion ad buys, though that trailed the automotive category ($8.4 billion) by a significant amount.

And Then There Is ‘The Interview’
SONY’s despicable cancellation of ‘The Interview’ under pressure from North Korea to cease or it would release more private SONY digital information, is now benefiting by turning on its exhibitors claiming they pulled the movie and that SONY has no real power to make theaters show it, is benefiting. The publicity surrounding the cancellation has helped ‘The Interview’ find their audience online and on-demand. SONY reports that the film has generated over $40 million in rentals and sales from Wednesday, December 24, 2014 through Sunday, January 18, 2015. In addition, ‘The Interview’ has been rented or purchased online and through cable, satellite, and telecom providers more than 5.8 million times. Despite those impressive figures, the film may not be profitable. It cost roughly $75 million to produce and market, according to some insiders, and theatrical ticket sales have been minuscule. The film has made roughly $6 million domestically. Any chance it will be shown in North Korea?
