PR firm Edelman has just released a free powerpoint report and infographic relating to social entertainment and second-screen engagement.
The research tracks the impact of social media and new platforms on entertainment audiences in the UK and US, revealing the key issues that entertainment brands and communication professionals should consider when looking to engage audiences with content.
The study, “Value and Engagement in an Era of Social Entertainment and Second Screens” marks a three year high in how audiences perceive the value of content. The study reveals that the internet’s influence on how entertainment content is consumed and shared continues to grow. Alongside this growth, consumers are increasingly active in sharing their likes and dislikes, both via word of mouth and online. The study illustrates a ‘Conversation Curve’ with most audiences looking to share content they have liked and disliked after they have consumed it, not during the experience. Consumers are also keen to stay in control and not be replaced by notification and recommendation technologies.
