About this report

The 2017 U.S. Cross-Platform Future in Focus leverages several data sources unique to comScore:

The report is based primarily on behavioral measurement from comScore Media Metrix® Multi-Platform, which provides unduplicated reporting of

digital audiences across desktop computers, smartphones and tablets; comScore Mobile Metrix®, which provides unduplicated reporting of mobile

web and app audiences across both smartphones and tablets; and comScore Video Metrix® Multi-Platform, which provides a single, unduplicated

measure of digital video consumption across smartphones, tablets, desktops and over-the-top (OTT) devices. The report also includes survey-based

mobile data from comScore MobiLens®, search data from comScore qSearch™, online retail spending data from comScore e-Commerce

Measurement™, advertising measurement data from comScore validated Campaign Essentials™ (vCE®) and comScore Brand Survey Lift™

(BSL™), as well as cross-platform data from comScore Xmedia™, viewing data from comScore’s suite of TV and video-on-demand measurement

services and new connected home measurement via the comScore Total Home Panel™.

Important Definitions:

Total Digital: The combination of desktop and mobile.

Mobile: The combination of smartphone and tablet. When data is referring specifically to smartphones or tablets, it will be labeled accordingly.

Unique visitor: A person who visits an app or digital media property at least once over the course of a month.

Pay-TV: Subscription-based television services that are delivered via a traditional cable, telco or satellite service operator.

Digital Video Recorder (DVR): An electronic device used to record live television and watch later. Viewing via a DVR is often referred to as time-shifted recorded viewing.

Video-on-Demand (VOD): Refers to video content that is made available via the traditional cable, telco or satellite service operators for on-demand viewing, as opposed to the regularly

scheduled live TV viewing or time-shifted DVR viewing.

Over-the-Top (OTT): Refers to video content that is transmitted via the internet to one’s television set, instead of via the traditional cable, telco or satellite service operators.

Smartphone usage has doubled in the past three years, and since

2014 it’s driven all of the growth in digital media time spent

Total digital media usage is up 40% since 2013, with mobile – particularly smartphones –driving those gains. The smartphone has continued to expand on its role in digital, even in just the last two years, as desktop and tablets have both experienced modest declines in engagement during this period.

60% of Pokémon

Go’s users are

18-34 year-old

Millennials

Pokémon GO – a location-based augmented reality game – launched on July 6th, and in just a matter of days it was consistently capturing more than 20 million daily users. It peaked at 28.5 million daily users on July 13th

and, though eventually tailing off, provided an important glimpse into the potential of augmented reality to engage users.

U.S. smartphone penetration eclipsed 80% in 2016, but growth is

slowing as market adoption concludes its ‘late majority’ stage

Since the end of 2005, smartphone penetration of the mobile phone market has grown from next to nothing to 81%. Just five years ago that penetration figure was roughly half of what it is today at 42%. The remaining uncaptured market is mostly technology laggards who don’t necessarily have a high likelihood of ever making the switch.

There’s a wide variance in time-shifted TV viewing by genre, with

News and Sports content still skewing heavily toward live viewing

Not surprisingly, the News and Sports genres still see the vast majority of viewing time happening live since content relevance declines quickly post-event. Meanwhile, Dramas have a much higher percentage of time-shifted viewing since these programs tend to have week-to-week storylines that viewers want to keep current with, but don’t always need to watch on the day and time they originally air.

Millennials and Gen Xers spend more time on digital media than

watching live TV, a sign of shifting media consumption dynamics

The younger demographic segments are more likely to spend time on their mobile device and less likely to spend time watching live TV. In fact, Millennials already spend more time on mobile than they do watching live TV. It should be noted, however, that younger viewers are likely watching more TV via OTT services and time-shifted via DVR and video-on-demand (VOD).

Live TV, DVR and OTT all have the same ‘primetime’ with viewing

peaking in the evening hours, though it’s most pronounced for DVR

The evening hours are primetime for all types of TV viewing. DVR sees the highest percentage of consumption during this time, as viewers save their favorite programs for the most convenient time to watch – often that window after dinner and before bed. The peak viewing hour for all three is during the 9 PM hour.

Sling TV, a popular ‘skinny bundle’ option, has seen adoption

quickly accelerate in OTT households in the second half of 2016

Sling TV, which is a less expensive, less robust alternative to cable, was being used in nearly two million households by the end of 2016. PlayStation Vue and DirecTV Now are similar services offering live streaming packages of pay-TV channels, in what will likely be an increasingly common trend to attract cord-cutters and cord-nevers.

Nearly half of digital ad impressions can’t have an impact because

they’re not viewable or not delivered to a human

Nearly half of all desktop ad impressions are unable to deliver an advertising impact. While most of these non-viewable ads are simply delivered to parts of the web page that are out of view, a meaningful percentage is being delivered to bots and other forms of invalid traffic that is by definition not viewable to a human.

Sophisticated IVT is the overwhelming majority of invalid ad traffic,

requiring advanced detection methods to combat this form of waste

Sophisticated IVT, which according to the Media Rating Council (MRC) includes “traffic originating from hijacked devices, malware or misappropriated content,” accounts for the vast majority of invalid traffic. Sophisticated detection techniques are therefore required for advertisers to mitigate the potential for waste.

Both desktop and mobile ads deliver branding effectiveness, but

mobile performs better – particularly at the bottom of the funnel

Mobile ads caused point lifts up to 3x greater than ads on desktop across four key brand metrics and performed especially strong in middle and bottom-funnel metrics, such as favorability, intent to buy and likelihood to recommend. Less ad clutter and proximity to point of purchase may be driving better effectiveness for mobile ads.

However, in 2016, dollars still significantly lagged digital media time

spent on mobile, highlighting the mobile conversion challenge

Mobile accounted for 67% of time spent shopping online, but only 20% of digital retail spend in 2016. Factors such as security concerns and smaller screen size continue to add friction to mobile purchases. While this m-commerce monetization gap will narrow once mobile’s share of time spent stabilizes, the two aren’t likely to ever reach equilibrium.

As was the case last year, 20th Century Fox was home to two of the biggest movies in 2016 in terms of total digital purchases and rentals. As with the top grossing box office movies, action films tended to be most popular among audiences, even on the “small screen,” but comedies and sci-fi films also had notable success this year.

20th Century Fox had the top two digital movie rentals of 2016 with

Key Themes for 2017

1 The Maturation of

Mobile 2 A Cross-Platform

Ecosystem Emerges

Today’s media environment is fragmented,

messy and complex. Siloed platforms,

varying ad formats, and disparate buying and

selling processes all add friction that inhibit

coordinated marketing strategies.

Issues of digital ad viewability and fraud only

add to the confusion, erode trust, and distract

from how advertising performance ought to

be measured.

Ad measurement is finally getting back to

basics with a return to the metrics that matter

– reach, frequency, impressions,

demographics – which are every bit as

relevant today as they have ever been. But

they are also getting more advanced, with the

ability to go deeper on audience descriptors

and tying to behavioral outcomes.

3 Advertising Gets Back

to the Basics

The U.S. smartphone market is nearing

saturation and the tablet market has flattened.

Advances in device technology are now

growing incrementally rather than by leaps

and bounds.

While mobile now dominates digital media

usage, consumption is beginning to stabilize

and the days of huge growth are over. Digital

media audiences are in the latter stages of a

multi-year boom.

Consumer usage trends always shift faster

than dollars, but now is the time for the

economics to catch-up with behavior. This will

be enabled by better measurement, improved

industry standards and less friction in running

mobile ad campaigns.

Digital media has gone cross-platform, and

more devices than ever before are being used

to access content inside the home.

Desktop and mobile media usage are

converging with traditional TV and OTT, as

consumers watch their favorite content through

any number of devices, including smart TVs,

streaming boxes and gaming consoles.

The cross-platform era will be defined by a

media-agnostic view of the consumer and

comparable metrics to facilitate efficient media

planning, buying and selling.
