US Household Penetration of Select Consumer Electronics

Value-infused interactive media:

“In keeping with its experiments to create interactive, shareable ad units, The New York Times is running a front-page ad takeover for Prudential that lets users see the front page of the newspaper from the day they were born once they punch in their birthdate. For the ad, the paper created a directory with over 110,000 thumbnails of Times front covers from 1863 to 2002—all told, roughly 55,000 covers, according to a Times rep. The ad includes buttons that let readers share the covers on Twitter and LinkedIn.”

Talking digital experiences today. Inspiration is everywhere.

It is a tricky chart to read. The first thing to remember is what it is not showing - amount of media consumption in each channel currently (TV still dominates).

The second thing to remember is that it is just showing growth rates - so not where things were but rather where things are going to be. For the second reason I consider this to be valuable.

That digital dominates growth in audience and revenue is not surprising (thought the magnitude of both would be surprising to Fortune 100 companies that still continue to be mostly about yesterday). Local TV is very interesting, especially given that for many websites the plan to win is go local (hyper local!).

My hypothesis about Cable is that it has been a much overlooked medium, especially by large advertisers, and hence the revenue growth makes sense. Newspapers and Magazines is not surprising either.
