Social TV is dead. What’s next?

!

WHAT DO I MEAN BY SOCIAL TV?

•Social TV apps based on check-ins

•“Rewards” are stickers and discounts

•Viggle, Miso, GetGlue, IntoNow etc.

•GetGlue/tvtag has 4.5m users (and investment of $24M)

!

“During the 2013 Super Bowl, 15% of all Pepsi mentions on

Twitter during the halftime show came from GetGlue.” Source: Wikipedia

But - are tweets like this really valuable?

!

Getglue raised $24M

Miso raised

Viggle raised

THIS GRAPH CHARTS THE FALL

•Lots of investment 2 years ago

•More recently lots of deals (line graph)

•These deals are exit deals, at low value

• IntoNow, GetGlue, Miso all sold recently

•Viggle made $91M loss last year, now

about to IPO to raise $58M

!

What happened to all that value?

!

Did they leave it on the table?

THIS ACTIVITY IS STILL VALUABLE

•Most people regularly use a smartphone or

tablet to go online while watching TV

•Overall TV viewership is growing

•Brands want to be present on all the

screens in the living room

•Many successful cross-platform apps

already

!

What are the keys to unlocking the value?

!

SUPERFANS

• want exclusive access

• want to join a community

• want recognition

They are willing to pay for it, with

attention, data and money

DEEP INTEGRATION WITH TV

•Strong, repeated calls to action

•Urgency

•Feed back / Payoff

MPD also had 4.5m users, for a single app and a single show - and

cost much less than $24M to build!

SMART SOCIAL MEDIA

•More than #hashtags

•Differentiated across Facebook,

Twitter, Instagram

!

LIGHTWEIGHT TRANSACTIONS

•Urgent call to action

•Clear payoff

•Low friction

!
