- Today I want to look at how technology is changing how people consume media, and the implications for media owners and content producers. Amid the current debate about free vs paid content, I’ll be considering: What content will people value? And for media owners - What will be worth producing?
- Content that previously was only available on terrestrial TV or at the cinema is now easy to download on demand to a portable device. Last week my 12 year old watched a film on a train on his ipod touch. The web is now ubiquitous – train, café, hotel, home, outdoors… - if you have a 3g device Consumers/ readers are now used to having easy access to high quality content on the move, when it suits them. People expect to be able to research a major purchase online before making a decision. They like to share the good stuff instantly with their friends…and even create and publish their own material
- Each media type had its own production method – scale counted and few crossed the boundaries. If you were in one silo you didn’t worry about other businesses in other silos targeting the same audience…. But now media brands compete across the silos: NME plus Capital Radio plus Last fm C4 Grand designs plus Ideal Home magazine BBC plus Times plus Google…
- Barriers between platforms have collapsed. Media brands now have new competitors Grand Designs: first tv, now event, web, mag, book – is challenging established homes mag brands Lonely Planet – first books – now spread to web, magazine, iphone apps and even a google wave planning tool. Brands that aren’t everywhere will miss out.
- It’s the media content that starts the conversation or prompts the discussion Consumers can vote/ share/ discuss/ review and even Use to create their own content
- When media platforms were separate, each had a distinct use – or purpose for consumers
- In spite of technology causing these devices to converge, these core functions remain…. … but content will flow more freely from one to another itv.com encourages chatting about its TV shows Kindle allows users to upload their library to the web Films can be downloaded to personal readers (or even ipods) MSN, Facebook, linked-in all available on mobile Boxee make it easy to browse web from TV set (and so does Wii…)
- Turning from consumers to media owners… Media businesses used to edit choice for consumers – creating digestible packages out of the mass of information available. They had the audience’s attention and could charge advertisers for access. In niche areas they had a near monopoly and could charge a premium…
- But search and direct web publishing have changed all that Audiences can find information by search Advertisers can use search to reach audiences Advertisers can even create their own content and go direct Media owners are being bypassed – they cannot command the premiums they once had There is still a value to audiences if content is packaged to be relevant or convenient for a distinct group…
- Media owners need to redefine their business to thrive in this new world They must operate across all the new platforms, channels and devices I believe the greatest value can be created by focussing on a specific niche Racing Post – successfully selling online subs… Econsultancy – a media business with a strong training and research component Cricket World – print, radio, video and advertisers services for a niche sport…
- So what is the media owner or content producer supposed to do about all this? Here are five practical tips to help you reinvent your media business model and thrive in the new world.
- Test out new content types – Video games apps networks….. this may require new skills or partnerships Make this content available on new channels/ devices – Web events ereaders mobile….. again may need aggregators or partners
- Provide tools to export and share Don’t be precious about copyright – but make sure your content is badged… Design content in portable chunks: Top tips Video clips Images Reviews Best of…
- What your audience say is interesting But it’s your brand that brings them together And creates the environment to talk and share
- No longer just about broadcasting your message Build games and competitions around content (fantasy golf major driver for todaysgolfer.co.uk) Create narrative and characters to build loyalty – learn from soap operas and TV drama Encourage interaction and comment…learn from your audience…
- Work out who are the VIPs in your market Treat them like VIPs special access Treats and goody bags Influence and fame Networking with other VIPs Times+ site…
- Media owners will have to re-prioritise the content they create to ensure it is unique and valuable for a niche group: Solve a problem – parenting advice – ask a mum/ horse answers/ gardening problems (RHS) Help with complex purchase – cars/ boats/ gadgets…parkers, yachting reviews, cnet Helps with a big project – renovation/ extension – homebuilding mag/site/shows Help my business grow – supplier reviews/ econsultancy Acquire new skills – photography courses, learn a language (iphone phrasebooks) Worth sharing with peers…film reviews by Empire, opinions and analysis (economist or spectator…)
- So how can media owners plan their content creation? Need two strategies – one for free and one for paid content – they do different jobs. Valuable content can be put behind a pay wall, and only be available to paying customers, whether micropayments or on subscription (FT, Racing Post) Free content is designed to attract new entrants through search. There may be an ad prize but the real value is in selling onto paid content. The skill is in converting the new entrants to paid-for content: many businesses are aiming for 5-10% conversion Media owners will need to have different strategies for creating each category…
