Multi-Screening becoming the Norm
Multi-screening has become much more common across UK Households. The IPA’s Touchpoints shows that the average adult spends 38 minutes a day using the internet while watching TV. This has more than doubled since 2011 when it was 17 minutes per day.
Multi-screening brings viewers closer to content and brands and has proven time and again to be a strong catalyst for Direct Response:
Thinkbox’s ‘POETIC’ study with Kelley Fay and Data2Decisions on the impact of paid media on earned (e.g. word of mouth) and owned (e.g. websites) media showed that over two thirds of website visits were sparked by paid-for media and half of those visits were as a direct result of TV.
