Connected Consumer Q4: New Platforms and OTT’s Dynamic Duo Dominated

Summary:

And while social TV continues to be a topic of conversation for many, not much progress was made in the fourth quarter. Companies mentioned in this report include Hulu, Netflix, Google, Facebook, Logitech and Samsung. For a full list of companies, and to read the full report, sign up for a free trial.
