Connected Device Penetration

New and converging device categories are making it difficult for manufacturers to understand where to fill the gaps and how to best position their product in the market.

As the lines blur between product categories and consumers come to expect certain features, manufacturers will have to find different ways to create real differentiation.

In this webinar, Parks Associates will examine recent data describing usage of consoles, Blu-ray, connected TVs, smartphones and tablets, and outline some key drivers of purchases that help answer the question:

How can I differentiate my product?

This session is sponsored by LEVEL Studios, an agency that delivers integrated marketing and product development for brands like VIZIO, HP, Cisco and RIM.

LEVEL will discuss how they have helped their clients differentiate by creating a deeper relationship between the product and customer, driving product adoption and loyalty. Specifically, LEVEL will address ways to leverage the cloud and optimize cross-device experiences to drive differentiation.
