Editor's Notes
Millennials live a social and on-demand life. What they watch, how they watch and what they do while watching represent a generational chasm. 50% of all mobile traffic is online video already, accounting for more than 1bn views daily.More than half of the audience multitasks on multiple screens and TV is only one of them. Millenials watch 30% less television than 35-49 year olds and 50% less than 50-60 year olds. That is a big behavioural shift.
One of the simple reasons behind the commercial model is that online incremental reach is delivered at 8% the cost of tv spend. Much more cost efficient,especially among light TV viewers
We are a talent first company and I’d like to introduce you to someone else who’ll be with us today on the stage, Chester See.Chester See is an actor, musician, singer-songwriter, and comedian with a face and voice of an angel and the magic skills of Chris Angel. Chester is the pop idol for young generation, like we used to watch MTV and Madonna, the Millenials watch Chester.In addition to huge followership on multiple platform, he has also sold 100,000s of songs on iTunes. Mariah Carey in subscribers and bigger than Daft Punk in terms of monthly views.Let’s see what Chester channel is all about.
Fans now define success.It’s not just enough to have your brand speaking to the audience. We need to embrace creation, creativity and creators in order to be successful.
Because media is a conversation.Nowadays consumers very quickly become fans, who become hobbyists and ultimately creators.
So fans and hobbyists are the new publishers, together we can create a massive reach.
So, let’s celebrate fandom.For example most of the brands online, only up to 10% of the videos out there are created by themselves, more than 90% by their fans.It’s already out there and it can not be ignored. Let’s embrace it.
To illustrate that, for example Game of Thrones original video delivered 4x less views than a user generated fan video, from bad lip dub, providing much wider reach and scale.
In Maker, talent and fandom are part of our DNA and we do that at scale.80% of our viewers are Millenials and we do our best to help them grow and maximize the opportunities with the authentic content their creating.
And it’s not just US, we’re growing even quicker outside the US, nearly 70% of our audience is international.For example Camila (on the picture on the right) is the no 1 beauty channel in Brazil.
To finish off, I’d like to introduce you to Joseph Garrett and his channel Stampy Longhead.Stampylonghead has been tearing up the charts as one of the biggest family-friendly gaming channels on YouTube. Known for his cheerful banter and disposition, Stampy delights his massive audience by exploring the world of Minecraft and other games. He's a filmmaker at heart, and started doing gaming videos for fun, which a lot of boys and girls can not live without. Has grown over 100 fold in a year from 1.5M Monthly views to 160 M monthly views, which makes Stampy bigger than Top Gear, The Ellen Show, Lady GagaYT channel in monthly views.Let’s see what Stampy is going in his videos.
