Nemo has better attention span than Young Adults
New research from Irish agency, Mediaworks found that 18-24 year olds could only last 9-11 minutes without a device.  It also found that the concentration span of younger people was also very short.  In this article, John McGee tells us that goldfish have an attention span of 9 seconds and humans only have 8 seconds!  So how does this impact on brands?  Mediaworks deputy MD, Fiona Field says, "Campaigns that truly connect are quite often ones that identify with society's biggest challenges by being culturally relevant. Examples include the Guinness 'Made of More' campaign which showcased integrity and strength of character. In today's society to be true to this ideal, brands also have to invest in more than just good creative and help to solve the root of the problem. Brand purpose will dominate."

New look TV3
TV3 has been refreshed and now has 3 channels – TV3, 3e and be3 (formerly UTV Ireland).  Be3 will feature heavy hitting current affairs as well as News at 7 and News at 10.  TV3 will hang on to the ratings-winning soaps, Coronation Street and Emmerdale.  It will also show the 3rd series of ITV drama, Broadchurch as well as Britain’s Got Talent. 3e will be the entertainment channel and show the Graham Norton and Jonathan Ross chat shows plus the extra shows that complement bigger  shows like Xtra Factor and Big Brother’s Bit on the Side.
