Are you watching television on your computer yet?

A recent study shows that nearly 1/3 of urban media consumers are watching television on their computers or mobile devices.

Interestingly, the numbers vary based on cultural background with 41% of Asians, 37% of Latinos, and 36% of African-Americans watching tv on alternative platforms compared to 25% of whites. (Friedman, 2011)

What about you? Did you watch the latest episode of American Idol on your iphone?

Will focusing on just three markets be a successful strategy for Jaguar?

10/14/10

For its latest campaign, Jaguar, who seems to be on a roll with a +13% sales increase versus last year, has decided to concentrate their limited budget in their three best markets – L.A., Miami and New York. Together these markets represent 13% U.S. And, as Jaguar points out, these are heavy travel markets so their plans include a significant billboard presence in airports.
(Greenberg, 2010)

Do you think this strategy will work? Or would they have been better off sponsoring Meet The Press?
