Marketing in a multiscreen world

November 25, 2008 |

Americans now swim through most of their day looking at some kind of screen - screens on their cellphones, on their desks, in their kitchens, everything from digital billboards on the highway and in the back of a cab to the eruption of screens in urban centers. A NYT roundtable discusses what it means for marketers.

Times Square is no longer an unusual attraction; it?s the norm. The side of a building can now be made to broadcast video. There is hardly a public space left ? a bar, a gym, the dentist?s office ? that hasn?t been vanquished by some kind of screen. Now, let?s say I?ve got something to sell. This multiplicity of screens would seem to be a good thing, wouldn?t it?

What the proliferation of screens has done is give a bazillion creators the power to publish. There are now billions of hours of content, which means new places for advertisers to latch on to ? lots of content that pockets of people find interesting. But the shift you?re describing makes things more complicated for advertisers too.
