Maximizing the Multi-Screen Experience for Consumers

With TV Everywhere initiatives clearly gaining in popularity and traction with viewers, companies are being increasingly challenged to enhance the multi-screen experience. How can this be accomplished? A white paper, published by Parks Associates and sponsored by m-Portal, suggests several strategic components for companies to consider in their efforts to evolve and expand multi-screen viewing and consumer interactivity.

Among the paper’s key insights and recommendations:

Create a Cohesive, Yet Expansive Multi-Screen Video Service. As the cross-platform trend has proven, there is a clear demand for both linear TV and on-demand content. Making these options easily and seamlessly accessible across multiple connected device platforms is key. This means helping users navigate quickly through thousands of programming options, and harnessing technologies, such as customization based on user history, to do so. Overall, the Parks Associates paper stresses that user experiences must be compelling and overcome the fragmented nature of the device and platform landscape.
