Today In Communication History
On this date in 1939, the first televised major league baseball games were shown. The event was a double-header between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers on station W2XBS, the station that was to become WNBC-TV. Announcer Red Barber called the games. The World’s Fair, which was being held in New York–became the catalyst for the historic broadcast. The television was one of fair’s prize exhibits, and organizers believed that the Dodgers-Reds doubleheader on August 26 was the perfect event to showcase America’s grasp on the new technology.
By today’s standards, the video coverage was somewhat crude. There were only two stationary camera angles: The first was placed down the third base line to pick up infield throws to first, and the second was placed high above home plate to get an extensive view of the field. It was also difficult to capture fast-moving plays: Swinging bats looked like paper fans, and the ball was all but invisible during pitches and hits. Nevertheless, the experiment was a success, driving interest in the development of television technology, particularly for sporting events. Though baseball owners were initially concerned that televising baseball would sap actual attendance, they soon warmed to the idea, and the possibilities for revenue generation that came with increased exposure of the game, including the sale of rights to air certain teams or games and television advertising.
So?
He said it first….’Television’.
In 1900, the term ‘television‘ is coined by Constantin Perskyi at the International Electricity Congress, part of the 1900 Paris Exhibition.

Social Media Research
Instagram Rolls Out Customer Service Button
Most brands already use Instagram as a social and marketing tool. But now, they’ve started using it for customer service, too. Instagram has rolled out a “contact” button for businesses, letting customers reach out with their queries directly on the platform. Several brands, including Nordstrom, Benefit, Delta and Denny’s, have already jumped on board. Customers with a question can tap the button, after which they are prompted to call, text or email the brand. “Instagram introducing the ‘contact’ button underscores the importance of social media as a customer service channel,” said Kevin Del Rosario, associate director of social media at Huge. “Social, after all, is a brand’s first line of defense, both for reputation management and customer service.”
It is already making life easier for some brands, by helping them streamline their communication and increase their response rates. Garnier U.S., for example, has already seen benefits in using the button. The brand uses it to connect users to its consumer care call center, whereas, previously, it would have to sift through the comments on its posts and manually type in its 1-800 number along with a rote message directing people there, Julia West, its social media assistant manager, said.
Both Benefit and Laura Geller Beauty said that they were getting a few questions a day, but that they expect to get a greater volume of inquiries during the holiday season and when they highlight and promote products on their Instagram posts. The contact button is a part of a suite of recent updates designed to make Instagram more ad and business-friendly, including an insights tool, a “promote” feature and the ability to filter comments. “With the holiday shopping season coming up, we expect to highlight this feature more in our Instagram captions and receive an increase in inquiries,” said Mila Mendez, executive director of global e-commerce at Laura Geller Beauty. “It is another way for customers to quickly get in contact with us about delivery times, exclusive and limited-edition items, shades and any special holiday deals such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.”
The button makes it a smoother process for customers to get in touch by making sure everything is in one place and they don’t have to venture out of Instagram. But brands would do well to avoid automated responses, warned Elizabeth Gopaul, head of content and social media strategy at Wunderman. “It is important to make sure that there’s a live person responding to your email on the other end,” she said. “No one wants to talk to a bot and get an automated response.”
To that end, Instagram may also want to take a page out of Twitter’s playbook, said Gary Nix, senior social strategist with iCrossing. Twitter has been able to successfully promote its platform as a customer service channel for major brands, making it easy for them to extract value from every interaction. It allows customers to not only tweet at the brand directly but also for brands to initiate a direct message when private information is needed. Direct messages on Instagram, on the other hand, were forgotten territory, at least before Instagram Stories was launched. “It’ll be interesting to see if at any point, Instagram will make the contact button open up as a direct message,” said Nix. “That will ensure that brands can keep the personal and human touch alive.”
How Brands Can Use Empathy To Connect With Millennial Moms Today
Scott Madden, writing in AdAge, suggests millennial moms are a cross between ‘Leave it to Beaver’s’ June Cleaver and ‘Odd Mom Out’s’ Jill Kargman: They want to do the best for their families while embracing the imperfections of parenting (and life). They also represent the greatest lifetime monetary value of any consumer segment in the history of marketing.
Connelly Partners‘ Millennial Mom Project followed a group of millennial moms recently over an eight-week period. Although they share many of the maternal tendencies and traits of prior generations, there are very distinctive qualities and tendencies, and an opportunity for marketers to create messages with pure empathy to reach them.Here are some insights:
1. Millennial moms have it tough. The complexity of being a good mom has never been greater. Although previous generations of moms might have something to say about it, the millennial mom’s perception is her reality. She’s a cyber-security expert and secret service agent. Her “trust no outsider” mentality means keeping a smaller universe for her children to live in and interact with. This small universe gives mom a more manageable force-field to operate from and let her guard down more easily.
Empathic opportunity: By acknowledging millennial mom’s protective anxieties, marketers can reinforce that they’re part of a large universe of united moms who are determined to find a resemblance of true freedom and peace of mind.
2. Millennial moms feel overwhelmed by an endless sea of new studies and theories on diet, nutrition, education and physical fitness. “Don’t do this; “Do this;” “Be sure to eat plenty of that;” and “Remember what we said last week?”
“It’s different this week” has resulted in a fluidity in mothering principles. At the same time, it can manifest in exasperation, given the volume of information that cycles continuously through their devices.
According to the GfK MRI 2015 Doublebase study on millennial moms, nearly 60% always check the ingredients and nutritional content of food products before they put them in their shopping cart.
Empathic opportunity: Brands can win over millennial moms by recognizing the unprecedented challenge of dealing with the volume of information to digest and decipher. Brands need to tell moms that it’s okay to not sweat the small stuff and revel in the masterful job they’re already doing as a great mom.
3. “Like” me for me. The generation that brought self-publication and promotion to to our culture now shudders at the monster it’s become. More than two in five millennial moms feel pressure to make sure their life and family looks “put together” from the outside, and more than a quarter of millennial moms agree that they feel compelled to hide some of the “dirty truths” of being a mom.
That makes it easier to understand why platforms like Snapchat are preferred by millennials for their raw self-expression and forever-gone-in-an-instant posts. But realness can be boring compared to moodiness, sassiness or down-right ugliness. Millennial moms find novelty and comfort in others who not only share their imperfection, but revel in it. It is a point of liberation for these women who hold themselves otherwise to an unattainable standard, like the 68% of moms(not just millennnial moms) on social media who feel that their parenting decisions are always or sometimes judged by other moms.
Empathic opportunity: A brand that has the self confidence to admit it is far from perfect will convey the purest form of empathy. It’s not uncommon for a brand today to effectively celebrate realness, but to be truly empathetic with these moms, a brand needs to be transparent with its own imperfection — making light of its “uglies” with humility and a bit of self-deprecation that is powerfully human; that’s the secret to creating natural brand affinity with this group.
4. I am mommy. Hear me roar. Millennials spent their entire childhood and early adult years chasing the quest for individualism and originality. In fact, 88% of millennial moms rated “authenticity/being true to myself” as very important (MRI). The body art-obsessed generation has carried its “I’m not like anyone else” trait and the millennial mom’s attitude is, “No one is going to tell me how to be a good mother.” These moms are programmed to “walk their own walk” when it comes to the rules they abide by in raising their kids. They are contrarians to not only the practices of their own mothers but to socially embraced concepts and principles.
Empathic opportunity: Contrarians like to think of themselves as “trail blazers,” even when they’re not. But again, it’s about recognizing who they see in themselves and advocating for their perception. Brands that show a recognition for the unique and independent road that today’s mom thinks she walks will leverage empathy in a powerful manner. “Like” me.
There is still much to learn from this generation and how millennial moms will handle the growing pains of raising this next generation.

NBC Owes Somebody Something For Olympics TV Audience Short Fall
Through the first 13 nights of Rio 2016 Olympics, including the opening ceremony, NBC averaged 26.7 million total viewers, a 14 percent drop from the 2012 average of 31.1 million. And as the second week moved on from the popular swimming and gymnastics events to track and field, wrestling, and basketball, NBC’s final results looked to be further dampened, according to Adweek. Thursday, NBC’s Olympics coverage was a bit slow out of the blocks, averaging 21.7 million viewers, a slight rebound from Wednesday night. Still, Thursday was one of the lowest-rated nights of the Rio Games so far. On the upside, NBC’s Olympics coverage continues to outpace the broadcast competition, beating broadcast rivals CBS, Fox and ABC combined.
Deadline noted fast affiliate ratings for NBC’s 8–1030P Friday coverage drew a slumping 4.7/20 rating among adults 18-49 and just 18.14 million total viewers. That’s down a hard 25% in the key demo and 24% in viewership from the early results of Aug. 12 to hit lows in both categories for the 2016 Games. In fact, Friday night’s low was down a whole point from the previous demo low of Aug. 16.
THR/Live Feed noted with a 3.5 rating in adults 18 to 49 and 14.55 million total viewers, the Games drew in the lowest numbers of the 2016 Olympics on Saturday night, the final night of competition. It marked a 20% drop in the key demo and 20 percent decline in total viewers.
Variety added the peak of the 15-day frame came on Aug. 9, when NBC served up a blockbuster combination of swimmers Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky capturing gold medals and gymnast sensation Simone Biles helping to lead the U.S. women’s team to victory. That night averaged 36.1 million viewers in the TAD measure, most of which came from NBC (33.4 million). Behind London and Rio, Beijing 2008 (27.2 million), Barcelona 1992 (26.4 million) and Seoul 1988 (25.8 million) round out the top five most-watched games.
NBC’s huge declines for the Olympics closing ceremony weren’t confined to the general market. That trend carried over to Hispanic viewers as well. The closing ceremony averaged 1.66 million total Hispanic viewers on Sunday, according to Nielsen, down 36% from 2.58 million for the closing ceremony of London 2012.
It wasn’t all negative for the Olympics among Latino viewers, however. For example, Tuesday night’s coverage averaged 2.06 million Hispanic viewers, No. 1 for the week on English-language TV. That was also up from 1.95 million on the same night in 2012. Also, Monday’s events averaged 2.02 million Latinos on NBC, up 10% from 1.84 million four years ago.
As was the case on English-language TV, Olympics ratings were generally down within the U.S. Hispanic market, but they still also dominated most of everything else that was on TV.
