more recently Irelands first multi city 4fm 94.9fm • Launched Fm Radio station in the middle of recession and in the middle of significant digital
revolution • The likely impact of the significant changes that are emerging • The relevance of change to media companies / marketing people• Don’t see it as a battle of US v Them – give reasons• See it a market shift all companies need to respond to !• Especially through the impact of technology high levels of change • It’s much more likely that media consumption stays high but consumed very differently • Try make a distinction of digital revolution versus the recession !!• Not a 4fm presentation but a view about the place of traditional media in the digital revolution
KPMG Research findings
• KPMG research of Top 100 Marketing directors (US)
• Two significant challenges /issues
• 1. Marketing budgets in decline• 2. The disruption of digital revolution
particularly mobile
Mobile Significance
• Mobile Broadband• Mobile SmartPhones Apps• Mobile Advertising Admob ¾ Bn sale Google• Mobile Social Networking• M Commerce Africa / Asia• Mobile disruption Nokia / Apple /Google• Mobile Music Radio Apps / Spotify / Pandora R Apps• Impact of apps on various sectors and services• Mobile convergence -Telemedia Company
Mobile consumer habits
• 50 times more online searches according to Google Head of Mobile with I-phone
• Mantra -• 19m handsets in India in one month• Average Indian growth 15m per month • Google has become one of the biggest media
companies and it’s impact is wide varied fast and significant
• Google Mantra- Think Mobile First !
Mobile First – why- networked society
• Evidence Overwhelming !• I- phone Mums / I-pad expectations• Personal medium and always within a few feet
reach and evidence that people go home of they forget their mobile for work !
• Apps / Sky remote / Sky News 1m apps• Android / Apps / Google Handsets / Nokia• Moving to a networked society !!!
Social Networking
• Statistics are widespread• Twitter /Facebook aim to become broadcast
channels• Google Buzz or perhaps even a purchase of
twitter possible• Key point is the building of a networked
market!
Social Networking
• Facebook – 20m dollars from Super Bowl by Pepsi to social media
• Twitter – How best to monetize• You tube – 100m USA users–how best to monetize and
make profits• YouTube Ireland – 1m hits for guy who fell in the snow !• Google Buzz Possible purchase Twitter• There will be success and failures • All want to monetize !!!• Radio is one model that in some ways they want to
emulate.... Feels free , pay with attention Radio model !!
How monetize
• TV / Radio entertainment – warm hearts of audience – water-cooler moments
• Newspapers – Engage the Minds of the reader • Google – Tech people with business processes
and fixing business problems
• Google adopted an ad model• Many trying to follow – key question how
monetize in digital era ?
What does all this mean ?• Broadcast one to many - many to many• Moving from EGO system to ECOsystem• From control to networked• O3B• Challenge for all companies old and new• Build trust / relevance / • What role can the media company play in the new networked society• Traditional Media and New media will co exist at different levels and with new
challenges and opportunities• The speed and level of impact from giants more keenly felt in Ireland (everywhere)
than ever before• Iphone / Buzz / Facebook/ Twitter • Previously what NYT / Radio in US UK slowly impact Irish market – much more
immediate now• Traditional Media not only ones impacted – think Garmin Tom Tom
Impact of Networked Society
• Media Future with significant choice creates different levels of importance
• Importance of Filter• Curators• Editors• Program Directors• Rather than simply expect decline -media
companies will play a significant role in helping serve the menu for end users
Music Industry decline ?• Music used by entertainment industry to build audience provide
content and a context• Radio use music to set context • Apple used music successfully sell Ipod handsets• Moved to using Apps to sell I phones / Pads• Put Radio on the latest Nano ( to sell handsets )• I tunes in a lubricant - but not enough to fix music industry• Newspapers will look to see lessons of how to monetize• NY Times – More important to get the sub model right rather than fast• NYT 20% cost of providing journalism and 80% distribution being
examined• Radio a model that feels like free to audience but they pay with
attention and many tech initiatives are following - Gmail
• Largest media company in the world• 6bn - ¼ profit – projections for 5 or ten fold increases in decade
ahead• O3B – initiative for to get the other 3 billion people on the
planet connected with sattelite• Monetize the business with a model similar to radio – free /
freemium / feels like free• Essentially moving from one to many – many to many• The share network means its not really online offline anymore
but its also a challenge for established business to re-establish themselves
• NYT 20% of entire cost base on content creation
Where to from here
• Watch the developments of many of the new media players monetize and watch for free or ‘freemium’ or feel like free....the radio model is very robust....other follow
• Different for print – NYT – Get right rather than fast ----20% producing content- digital imminent
• Record industry was initially anti- radio too as they felt that people wouldn’t buy records if they could hear them free- opposite proved to be the case !!
Not Old V New – Socially Networked society role of media
• Peter Mc Partlin –Carat Strategic Director Great insight• Digital Media is not replacing its complimenting• Irish traditional media holding up very well• TV – Youtube 100m – possibly developing movie rental ? • Netflix –subscriber base of 12.3m 48% watching online movie ?• US TV events up in viewers average 15% alongside social media usage • Radio –robust / puts a context / monetized / listeners like what they get-
some challenges• Telecoms / Ad Groups / Media Companies• Social Media to beat email Video and possibly search • TeleMedia ----future to engage in the networked society• Speed of change will continue and accelerate especially mobile
Professor MIT
• Professor Jenkins MIT Gerd leonhard
‘It is important to focus on emerging cultural practices rather than on the emerging technologies’
Convergence Culture -when old and new media collide- amazon
‘new media will not replace old media but there will be a ‘convergence culture’
What Emerging Cultural Practices ?
• Key emerging cultural practice is society moving towards the always connected Shared network
• This has profound implications for client /marketing and media companies both traditional and digital – how monetize opportunities
• Obviously different degrees of impact and different levels of threat
Peter Mc Parlin Carat
• Traditional Media in Ireland • TV• Radio • Newspapers ( still unit shifting)
Impact of change is significant !• ASK The Music Industry – a great example of how not to respond and move with
the times..• EMI didn’t like the radio model from way way back ‘why will people buy records
if they can hear them on radio ?• Music 2.0 / I-tunes / €15 CD’s and barrier to entry • ASK The New York Times – so important we get it right rather than just get it
quick !• ASK Garmin and Tom-Tom• ASK Nokia• ASK Microsoft • ASK Any business that relied on classifieds ?• Look at the biggest brands in the world---Google not Coke – a company that did
not build their business using extensive using above the line media advertising- so yet another groundbreaking claim for a company that has become one of the biggest media players in just over a decade
Linking the launch of old media todays market
• Launching traditional Radio in this landscape• Important that we have a strong business
model – radio is monetized• Important we understand and recognise the
significant changes in consumer behaviour • Get attention / Build trust / Relevant • Not just content creation it is also about
context and radio is well placed to do that
New paradigm• Mobile is a significant disruptive force• The dust may not settle as previously the case• Mobile shared networked audiences need to be engaged differently to
build business in the years ahead • Significant challenges for all media old and new • Significant opportunities as media consumption is healthy but old rules
no longer apply !• It is not an Us V them it is a competitive market for all players and 4fm
and all media companies will work hard to meet the challenges ahead• Success and failures for old and new media companies• When strong winds of change are blowing some people build shelters
while others build Windmills• Thank you take any questions ?
