Social TV at SMWF will explore how brands and marketers can harness the approaching revolution in TV consumption. According to Nielsen, over half of the population already accesses the internet while watching TV, rising to 68% and 70% among smartphone and tablet owners, popular TV shows and events are proving to be fertile ground when it comes to driving engagement and generating social interaction online. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. The home entertainment landscape is on the cusp of a massive change; where TV, movies, sports, gaming and music all delivered on-demand via the internet.

TV as we know will be changed forever, and the race is on for operators, manufacturers and platform providers to grab their slice of this potentially lucrative new market. The social aspect of this new TV experience will transform the way people interact with the media they consume, creating a unified TV environment that will drive engagement through social sharing and discussion. But how readily will these new technologies be adopted by users? How will TV advertising integrate with them, and how can marketers measure the brand-building potential of this new interaction? Book your place at SMWF today to hear from some of the leaders of this trend and find out how they see it developing.
