Word-of-mouth continues to be the leading way by which teens & Millennials (13-34) – as well as the greater population at-large – discover new movies, TV shows or other full-length video content. That’s according to a recent report from Nielsen, which compared the video discovery sources of younger Americans to the broader population.
Word-of-mouth also topped the list of adults’ video discovery sources in previous research from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA).
TV ads promoting various programming were also a key source of discovery for respondents to the CTA study, as they are in Nielsen’s survey.
