First, a quick intro to Essen4al Research

Let’s rewind 15 years…

Let’s rewind 15 years…
Watch Do Call

But then came convergence…?
![Page 6: Understanding the 4th Screen](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032616/55a4a5a11a28abbb308b48b6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In fact the 3 screens retain dis4nc4ve core values…
Trusted friend Home social life
Shared experiences Relaxed, winding down
Leisure 4me Habitual behaviour
Some mistrust Virtual social life
Solitary experience Focused
Work ‘baggage’ Searching & foraging
Highly dependent All social life
Highly personal Focused and relaxed
Work and play Reliance on key apps Loca4on-‐specific

But now there’s a 4th screen
![Page 8: Understanding the 4th Screen](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032616/55a4a5a11a28abbb308b48b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Who’s got one?
Male
Young(ish)
ABC1
Smartphone owner
60% early adopters – but 40% not
![Page 9: Understanding the 4th Screen](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032616/55a4a5a11a28abbb308b48b6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What’s stopping everyone else?
Cost vs benefit / perceived uniqueness
Category uncertainty
Not perceived necessity
Pace of change vs high cost
Confusion and worry about mobile connec4vity

The problem of rela4ve advantage
Stuff I do already – with a smaller
screen
Stuff I do already – with a bigger
screen
Smartphone vs my PC internet Tablet vs my smartphone

“I thought at first it would be like my HTC phone but bigger.
And in fact, it is like my HTC phone,
but bigger.”

Now consumers understand the unique role of smartphones
![Page 13: Understanding the 4th Screen](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032616/55a4a5a11a28abbb308b48b6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
And this is star4ng to emerge for tablets
Befer use of dead 4me
Shared fun, family resource
Flexible entertainment
Easier access to info
Tac4le!

Barriers will con4nue to fall, WOM will set in
Laptop trends
Cost
Supply

![Page 18: Understanding the 4th Screen](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032616/55a4a5a11a28abbb308b48b6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
As with smartphones, en4rely new behaviours will emerge
Revolu4on in wrifen word consump4on
Bespoke content, plays to device strengths
Spontaneous entertainment gra4fica4on
Dual screen engagement
![Page 19: Understanding the 4th Screen](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032616/55a4a5a11a28abbb308b48b6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What does it mean for me?
Successful services & experiences are sympathe4c to the core values of each screen
Implica4ons for tablet-‐specific and cross-‐plalorm content
Marketers: communicate uniqueness and func4onal benefits
Exis4ng behaviours will manifest themselves in brand new ways – can you ‘own’ them?
Big poten4al for dual screen behaviour and impulse consump4on
