This upcoming event is addressing the very important issue of interactivity within broadcast and how companies must now incorporate this into their campaigns to ensure that customer engagement levels remain high.

The subjects to be discussed are:

  • What are the interactive trends in other territories around the world such as the US, and how will this affect the UK?
  • What are audience attitudes and changes to behaviour towards broadcast and interactivity?
  • How do broadcasters increase interactivity from multi-screen consumers and is this critical?
  • How will broadcasters attract the middle aged disposable income consumers through interactivity?
  • How are broadcasters engaging with the teen and young adult market to ensure they stay engaged with changing technology?
