Big trends in Media and TV- Blog Series
Entry posted on Sep 20 by AJConsulting , tagged Video,Rich Internet Apps,News,Mobile,Interactive Experience,Development,Design

In a world dominated by the internet and increasing interconnectivity profound changes to the TV and video ecosystem are inevitable. Deloitte predicts that the vast majority of TV viewers will continue to tune in based on TV schedules will continue to dominate TV viewing in 2012 with a majority of audiences remaining aligned with them. However, it also forecasts that only 0,1% of the $227 billion global ad market will be spent on targeted TV ads. While consumers will continue to enjoy programs via traditional TV in large numbers, most of the future growth in viewership will take place on new screens like PCs, tablets, and smartphones, and through new, nonlinear video formats. It is estimated that by 2015, younger audiences will spend only half of their video watching time on traditional linear TV.

A number of key trends are shaping, and will ultimately shift, the way that TV and Media are currently engaging their audience as well as how they achieve durable revenue growth. We are starting a four part series to explore these trends:

1. The rise of second screen, social network and mobile viewers
2. The shift of TV ad dollars online
3. The immensity of available information
4. The increasing pressure on Chief Marketing Officers

Thes posts will not only look at the impact of each trend but also scope out the tremendous amount of opportunity that each trend is generating.

Adobe's transformation

Adobe is in the midst of a fundamental transformation. We are transforming from software in boxes to solutions in the cloud, and to a world of touch interfaces on devices, and social connections everywhere. This is a time of both innovation and change for Adobe and for the Adobe community.

At the highest level, Adobe is focused on two areas: Digital Media and Digital Marketing. Digital Media is about enabling the creation and monetization of the world’s content. This includes Adobe’s creative tools and services, touch apps, web platform technologies and Creative Cloud. Digital Marketing focuses on managing, measuring and optimizing digital experiences across devices and media type, with services such as Site Catalyst and Day. These are both rapidly growing areas with a lot of opportunity for Adobe and the Adobe community. We have reorganized Adobe to focus on these two opportunities and the relationship between them. For a more detailed view of our strategy, please refer to our recent analyst meeting.

As part of our transformation, Adobe has recently made a number of announcements concerning the Flash Platform and Adobe Flex. This document provides a quick summary of those announcements.

The Adobe Flash Platform and Facebook Platform provide the ideal solution for building rich, social experiences on the web. Flash is available on more than 98% of Internet-connected PCs, so people can immediately access the applications, content, and video that enable social interactions.

Share: Create rich interactions for users to share with friends.
Have fun: Make games social; let users compete against their friends.
Connect: Let users connect to your RIAs with Open Graph.
Solve problems: Build RIAs that harness the power of community.
Reach people: Reach millions of Facebook users through social distribution.

Start building applications that combine the strengths of the Flash Platform and Facebook Platform with the Adobe ActionScript 3 SDK for Facebook Platform.
