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’.

How To Attract Millennial Twitter Followers
Want to get millennials to follow you on Twitter? Offer a coupon. According to fall 2014 research by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Marketing Research, US millennials were most likely to follow a brand or company on Twitter to get a coupon or discount, cited by 85%. Following brands to receive coupons and discounts was more common on Twitter than on Facebook or Pinterest.
Millennials were also interested in supporting brands they liked, a reason to follow for nearly 80%. Beyond discounts and loyalty, no other reason was cited by the majority of respondents, with receiving regular updates from brands the third most popular, called out by 47%.
Millennials who make purchases via Twitter aren’t shelling out too much. Nearly three-quarters of respondents spent $49 or less when buying something via Twitter, compared with 54% who said the same about Facebook. Twitter purchasers were also the most likely to spend less than $20 by at least 10 percentage points, and no respondents spent over $100 through the site.
Twitter’s audience is largely millennial, presenting a good social channel for those targeting this cohort. In September 2014, Pew Research Center found that 37% of US internet users ages 18 to 29 used Twitter, compared with 25% of 30- to 49-year-olds and around 10% of the 50-and-older group. Meanwhile, Cowen and Company found in November 2014 that US internet users spent 23.5 minutes each day with Twitter, compared with an average of 17.1 minutes for the entire adult population. In all, 18- to 29-year-olds accounted for 33% of Twitter users.
