DIGITAL DOMAIN: ALBERT CHENG ON APPS, IPADS AND SECOND- SCREEN VIEWING

Albert Cheng

It’s Gold Time continued from p.1

As Disney/ABC Television Group’s EVP and chief product o�cer, digital media, Albert Cheng is leading the charge of social strategies, systems and platforms being utilized not only by the network, but by the industry as a whole.

In his current position, which he has served in since 2005, Cheng leads the general management and strategic oversight of digital media and develop-ment of ancillary revenue streams for Disney/ABC Television’s properties including ABC Entertain-ment, ABC News, ABC Daytime, ABC Family, Disney Channel and SOAPnet. He also oversees the Group’s digital media content platforms including video-on-demand, broadband, web-based and mobile platforms and interactive television technologies.

In anticipation of today’s session “Innovation Com-mittee Presents: Social Comes of Age: A Chat with Albert Cheng,” the digital guru chatted with Shanna Green about what’s next for Disney/ABC Television.

ABC has been one of the networks leading the charge in content on the iPad. Can you tell me a little bit about what you’re doing with second-screen viewing on the iPad? Second-screen opportunities at this point in the industry are really in the emerging and early stages. What’s really great is being able to see a lot of play-ers out there – a lot of di�erent apps that are trying to use the iPad or the iPhone as a way to interact with television content. At this point, it’s a totally open �eld. No one really knows what’s working. We’ve certainly done a lot of di�erent experimen-tations in second stream that have yielded some interesting results. The space is big enough for a lot of people to play in it.

Aside from the iPad, what are some other digital opportunities ABC is focusing on this year? It’s primarily what we call the post-PC future – that’s what we’re focused on. So, it’s not just the iPad. It’s also phones and smartphones. The idea that com-puting will move away from the PC and into screens that are much more personal, more mobile and very conducive to media consumption.

What is social media’s role in this? Social media is the glue that ties the experience together between people and devices. When we think of social, it’s not a separate thing that we do. It’s integrated. It’s seamlessly intertwined in all the digital products that we have because people inher-ently want to be able to share and connect with their friends. So, how do we use social media platforms as sort of the membrane that ties these experiences together? That’s how we look at social.

Fellow Conference speaker Rick Lewchuk, SVP of Bell Media Agency and brand strategy, Bell Media, recently said he feels like the iPad is the best thing to happen to broadcast television in recent years as the two-screen experience will drive people to watch in real time. Would you agree with that? I would say it presents the best opportunity for broadcasters to be engaged because of the two-screen experience. I don’t think it’s there yet, but I do think of all the devices out there, the iPad presents an enormous opportunity for broadcasters. I think we’re just at the tip of the iceberg. We’re just still starting to tap into it.

Are there any platforms, apps, or technologies with a hot buzz around them that you don’t see lasting? It’s not necessarily a buzzer or a platform, but more about product functionality: The idea around check-in. Companies that use check in as a primary product feature, they need to move beyond that pretty quickly if they’re going to maintain their users. In my opinion, if an app is just about checking in, the novelty will wear o� quickly because people will realize there’s not much value that is being added to their lives.

What are some of the ways to add value or make check-ins a more rounded experience? Check-in is a nice entry point to get people to use an app, but over time they’re going to have to start thinking about what can your app solve for the user that they’re having di�culties in doing now? Check-ing in is not solving a problem. It’s giving a person the ability to brag about stu�, but that novelty wears o� really quick.

You can see people who can’t move beyond check-in, and that’s going to be a really tough haul without

any other bene�ts to it. They just have to �gure it out. They should be asking the users, what other things can we be doing for you that will enhance your television viewing experience? Those can follow-up many di�erent lines: Can we provide the additional content? Do we want you to have a live viewing party at the same time? What is it that people value that they can continue to bring in?

Right now, the check-in function and then sort of the ancillary Internet content is nice, but I’m not sure that’s going to be enough to power through the market. ●

TV Everywhere, the buzz phrase of the year, has been talked about for a while, but the reality of the idea is only now �nding its momentum. As it becomes more ubiquitous, for media marketers, however it’s raising the question of how to handle this new medium as a force for �nding (and keeping) audi-ences on many di�erent platforms and channels.

During yesterday’s session, “TV Everywhere and Anywhere – How the Content Industry Is Building a New Mousetrap,” network executives and creatives a�ected by emerging platforms discussed the new opportunities and the new challenges they bring.

PROMAXBDA, BROADCASTING & CABLE AND MULTICHANNEL NEWS HONOR 2012 BRAND BUILDERS

TV EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING PROMAXBDA: THE CONFERENCEBy Jennifer Konerman

Moderator Andrew Rosenman, president of Arise Communications, began by posing the question: With TV Everywhere serving as such a broad term, what does it actu-ally mean when put into practice? Diane Robina, president of Robina Consulting, replied: “The idea that you can take your TV with you, wherever you are. You can watch Girls in your living room, or after you walk away from it.”

When the speakers agreed that consumers expect a lot from their viewing habits now – everything in one easily searchable, all-en-compassing location – Rosenman

turned to the added issue of users’ expectations and weighing that against the reality of putting programming in one place, expecting users to be able to make a simple choice.

“There’s a lot of choice to give consumers. Some of us remember when the only choice was getting up to change the channel,” he said. So, should program-mers and marketers be more concerned with SEO and less concerned with straight, linear programming?

“What I see is that it’s really more about the end user and their choice,” Jose Caballer, chief education of-

�cer of The Skool (and a self-proclaimed cord-cutter), answered. “We need to understand the user experi-ence from a content and marketing perspective.”

Yet the time-sensitive promotion model remains. “Everyone’s accepted that viewers want to view content in a time-shifted manner, but there’s still a motivation to promote the content in a way to drive ratings performance,” said Court Shannon, VP of media at TiVo.

But if you’re promoting viewing anytime, anywhere, who gets promoted? Another issue arises where the more players there are, the less playing time each gets. If a network is showing a series on someone else’s digital platform, who owns the promotions? Services like TiVo and Net�ix can act as a barrier between user and content.

“If we put the content behind a wall, there’s no branding of the network. You don’t want to start diluting the brand,” said Robina.

And, perhaps the biggest question that remains is, how do you measure something that’s everywhere all at once, and how do the economics work for that kind of ubiquitous platform?

According to Caballer, “it’s the pink elephant in the room – the conversation about monetization is really going to drive the next step of TV Everywhere.” ●

PROMAXBDA AND THE CW MAKE ANOTHER CUTBy Jennifer Konerman

Each entrant was given instructions to create a promo portraying one of The CW’s hit shows: The Secret Circle, Vampire Diaries or Supernatural. Using footage provided by The CW, music and sound by Man Made Music and voice over talent from Jason

Marks Talent, entrants set out to produce their own spot showcasing their promo-making skills. Work-shop Creative’s Seth Berkowitz and The CW’s Chris Donovan presented the award on Wednesday.

“I am really pleased to be back for what will be our sixth installment of Making the Cut for PromaxBDA,” said Chris Donovan, SVP of creative on-air and online at The CW. “If we were a movie franchise this would be our The Half-Blood Prince or Revenge of The Sith year. It’s going to be great!”

This year’s PromaxBDA Making the Cut winner is Ruth Wels from Bethany Lutheran College, who made an intriguing promo for the show Supernatural entitled “Sodium Borate.” After slowly breaking down how a scientist would make sodium borate as a paranormal-killing weapon, the Winchester brothers unleash it on their enemies in an action-packed sequence.

Wels was provided with a free pass to PromaxBDA: The Conference in Los Angeles this year and also became eligible for an internship at The CW Televi-sion Network. ●

PARTNERS IN PROMOBy Justin W. SandersTHE SPONSOR SHOP TALKS BRAND INTEGRATION

It’s hard enough to create a :15, :20 or :30 that suc-cinctly and entertainingly tells a brand’s story, but what’s a creative team to do when multiple brands have to be stu�ed into that same time frames? As Matt Bunting and Rick Dascher, of The Sponsor Shop at Turner Entertainment Networks, demonstrated in today’s session, “The Best of Brand Integration,” many teams relish the challenge, and shine even brighter.

Dascher, The Sponsor Shop’s executive director, designed “The Best of Brand Integration” himself, and brought it to PromaxBDA when a call was sent out for original Conference session ideas in the spring. His hunch for what attendees would want to see was spot-on – this event was standing-room only with people getting turned away at the door.

Those who didn’t get in missed a jam-packed hour of promos where networks brilliantly tied together sponsoring brands with their own branded content. Bunting and Dascher combed through hundreds of spots to unearth gems like an ION Television/M&Ms collaboration wherein a blissful group of partygo-ers plucks the little chocolates from a swirling candy cloud �oating around the living room. Dascher de-scribed the 30-second spot as “having everything… the client branding, the networking branding, and all for only $10,000.”

Many of the clips featured partnerships between net-works and feature �lms, such as Turner Sports’ memo-rable “Brackets” spot that combined the promotion of upcoming coverage of NCAA March Madness with

a plug for Sony Pictures’ 21 Jump Street. In an ingenious plot device, especially considering it all unfolds in less than a minute, the �lm’s cop duo leads, played by Jonah Hill and Chan-ning Tatum, arrest a thief who has made o� with an innocent bystander’s tournament bracket, only to keep it for themselves when they realize it looks like a winner. The project was an example of coming up with a brilliant cam-paign and then just selling it beautifully to a sponsor, explained Bunting.

Some spots from the session looked into how creative teams can rise to the occasion when show tal-ent is unavailable for an integration – as in a recent Big Bang Theory/Budweiser integration that cleverly used a set that resembled the iconic sitcom’s world, creat-ing its look and feel with nary an actor to be found. Other spots looked into what can happen when talent is available (on those rare occasions) – as in a clever TBS/AT&T integration featuring Conan O’Brien detecting a whi� of onions on the tablet displaying his show’s new app, and worrying that someone used it to make a sandwich on.

Rick Dascher and Matt Bunting

All the integrations were impressive examples of bringing disparate parts together and making them work harmoniously in extremely brief periods of time, with extremely limited budgets. More than a delicate balancing act, the teams behind these spots are nothing less than artists working within an incredibly di�cult form. “On-air works in poems,” Dascher said, “brand integrations are working with haikus.” ●

revolves around the life of a baseball player who injures himself due to his anger management issues and has to go to therapy. Despite being a producer of the show and a major force behind its creation, Sheen had trouble categorizing it, �nally settling on a “family show… not going far from classic comedy.”

Easier for the actor to elaborate on was the series’ unprecedented arrangement with FX, wherein the network has committed to 10 episodes up front, but

Some of the most powerful names in network television come from the market-ing side of the industry, and in today’s session, “The Wonder Years: What Careers in Marketing Taught Television’s Top Executives,” attendees will get an inside look on what �ve network heads learned from their time in the trenches.

Whether it was a determined mentor, inspirational advice or classic quotes that kept them going and pushed them further, Suzanne Kolb, president of E! Enter-tainment, Chris McCumber, co-president of USA Network, Scot Safon, EVP of CNN Worldwide and GM of HLN, Michael Smith, GM of Cooking Channel, and Amy Winter, GM of TLC, will speak about their professional successes (and failures), how jobs in marketing led them to successful careers in media, and the life les-sons they’ve learned along the way.

And, as a prelude to the session, we’ve got some sneak peek tips:

According to Kolb, it’s a good idea for creatives to start making themselves valu-able at an early age. “In the early stages of your career, make sure you work at

places that are understa�ed so you can be involved in as much as possible,” she said. “Work for people you respect and listen to everyone.”

Cooking Channel’s Smith re�ected on wise words from �gures like Maya Angelou, Abraham Lincoln and the Buddha, but something that stood out was from Lao Tzu: “The greatest leader forgets himself and attends to the devel-opment of others. Good leaders support excellent workers. Great leaders support the bottom 10%.”

TLC’s Winter recommends focusing on objectivity and stepping back to see the bigger picture. “Creative direction requires evaluating the work on its own mer-its… not by how you would have approached it,” she said.

Check out other tidbits of advice about how to take your experience in marketing and promotions to the next level at “The Wonder Years: What Careers in Marketing Taught Television’s Top Executives,” on Thursday at 10:15 in the Diamond Ballroom. ●

will purchase an incredible 90 more should the initial installments �nd success. “The word ‘blockbuster’ comes to mind” Sheen joked then said, in all serious-ness, “the model for this show is kind of new and could change the way television is produced.”

Known for his personal ups and downs in recent years, Bush wondered about the longevity of Sheen’s personal brand. “It’s the oddest thing in the world to me,” Sheen replied, surprised he has a

brand at all. He attributed his enduring popularity to his core decency as a person, to the fact that his “bad boy” behavior has never harmed anyone other than himself. “You can attempt comebacks, but at some point you need to be let back in,” he said. “I wasn’t begging to be let back into the party covered with someone else’s blood.”

Something of a Twitter prodigy, Sheen reached 1 million followers less than 24 hours after joining the social network. Still, he confessed to making fun of Twitter until the day he signed up and that he has had an outside party manage his tweets at times.

“I have to have a guy between me and ‘send’ at 3:00 a.m.,” he cracked. “Right now I sneeze and China knows about it.” On his recent attempt to capitalize on this surrounding media frenzy with a live show he joked, “Stick to what you know. Don’t go on a 21-city tour in 33 days with no act.”

When asked by an A&E executive what kinds of pro-mos he responds to, Sheen summed up the secret to media marketing success about as succinctly as it can be: “If the clips suck, I’m not watching,” he said. The crowd went wild. ●
