“If there’s an actress that I
recognize, but I can’t
remember where I recognize
her from, I’ll just do a quick
search on IMDB, or
something like that.”
-Andrew
“Just out of habit, picking up
the touchpad or the phone
and deciding to search on
the internet for a little bit. [...]
It’s frustrating that I do it
though, because you feel like
you don’t stay as engaged...”

- 20. REAL-TIME RESEARCHING A simultaneous journey where consumers view related content on two or more devices at the same time. Generally motivated by curiosity, desire for efficiency and habit.
- 21. SITUATIONAL SOCIALIZING Connecting with like-minded communities, using first screen content as a catalyst for conversation. Generally motivated by extroversion, desire for connection and habit.
- 22. ONGOING GRAZING The most common behavior; users access separate, unrelated content in order to multi-task. Generally motivated by habit, personal preference and efficiency.
- 23. GREAT ESCAPING In the absence of interest in first screen content, consumers jump to a second screen, unrelated distraction. Generally motivated by boredom, desire for efficiency and habit.
- 24. THE LANDSCAPE CONSUMER BEHAVIOR PLANNING FOR PLANNING AGAINST Second Screen Agenda
- 25. Create A Multi-Screen Experience Encourage Real-Time Researching and Situational Socializing by actively suggesting a Second Screen experience to attendees. Possibilities include: 1. Real-Time Engagement: Use a Mobile App or hashtag to encourage voting or live questions. 2. Contextual Networking: Offer a private LinkedIn Group or Mobile App-based social network for attendees. 3. Optional Deep-Dive: Enrich the first screen by providing complementary content that offers more depth through a Mobile App or online destination.
- 26. Provide Durable Content Plan for some level of Ongoing Grazing and, in worst cases, Great Escaping, by making key content available after the first screen experience is over. 1. Digital Archives: Tap into popular, search engine optimized digital archives like Slideshare, Issu or Podcasts. 2. Hard Copy Resources: On the way out of a session, distribute a “Top 10 Takeaways” list. 3. Dedicated Follow-Up: Post-event communications (email, Mobile App or phone call) are key and often lead to a second wave of social amplification.
- 27. Use Snackable Content Whether it’s to enable Situational Socializing or to grab attention when an audience has begun Ongoing Grazing, small-form content is key. 1. Organization of Information: Carefully organize and curate content into numbered lists and a predictable flow. 2. Tweetable Tips: Use suggestions like “Tweetable Tips” to encourage audiences to engage in Situational Socializing. 3. Statistics: Cited statistics can both offer an opportunity for content sharing and also encourage Real-Time Researching as attendees seek to be helpful and learn more.

- 29. Design Audience Interaction It’s harder to ignore peers than it is to ignore a third party presenter or facilitator. Additionally, for more senior audiences, engagement with peers is a key value proposition that brands can offer. PYMNTS.com hosts a ThinkAThonTM at itsannual Innovation Project to solve the industry’s most vexing questions.
- 30. Require Use of the Second Screen Second Screen distraction (multi-tasking) becomes less of a risk when an audience is required to actively use it to engage in the content being presented. Solutions can either leverage personal devices or arm attendees with loaned devices. Disney’s Second Screen offering requiresusers to synchronize iPads with live films toenrich the experience, engaging audiences atevery turn of the film.
- 31. Immerse The Audience Consider breaking away from traditional audience and presenter formats in order to provide a more immersive experience for attendees. When attendees are standing, engaging and conversing with peers, Second Screen multi- tasking is less of a threat. BP’s London Olympics Technology Experiencehad attendees on their feet in the middle ofjaw-dropping 3D Projection mapped roomsas part of an immersive presentation.
