what is “Buzz”?
each month, we find out the “buzz”
of a dozen or so recent or
upcoming releases/products for
technology, telecoms, media and
entertainment
we find out 3 key buzz metrics per
news item/release/product:
1.
level of awareness &
familiarity
2.
degree to which it generates
discussion among peers
3.
degree of excitement it
generates
in this report, we look at:
Apple release the iPad Mini
Assassin’s Creed III video game
BBC launches iPlayer Radio
Dishonored video game

Nearly 9 in 10 of the general public
say they’re aware of the Savile
scandal, but there’s also more positive
news around with Bond and other
daredevils making a strong impression
Many are calling Skyfall the best Bond in
years, if not of all-time. Over 3 in 4 were
aware of it at the time of fieldwork (early
Nov), edging out real-life daredevil Felix
Baumgartner’s record-breaking leap from the
skies.
The Windows 8 and 4G launches also made a
mark on public awareness, as did the
announcement of new Star Wars films from
new owner Disney.
Just under half the nation were aware of the
iPad Mini launch. As you will see in the alltime list later, this trails other recent Apple
launches (like the “New iPad” and iPhone 5).
It does, however, beat the Nexus 10 for
awareness.
Of the games tested, the new Assassin’s
Creed title achieves the highest awareness.
The next issue of Buzz will include Black Ops
2 and other titles in the lead up to Christmas.

When we look at the public
as a whole, we see the Savile
scandal, Skyfall and Felix
Baumgartner topping our
discussion buzz list this edition
The Savile scandal ranks 2nd in our alltime discussion buzz list.
Skyfall, the new Bond outing, has also
got tongues wagging and it becomes
the most discussed film we’ve ever
measured in Buzz, edging out the final
Harry Potter.
The Star Wars announcement and the
launches of 4G, Windows 8 and the
iPad Mini also feature in the top
quartile of discussed items in our alltime discussion buzz ranking.
The iPad Mini, however, trails for
discussion buzz compared to other
Apple launches we’ve measured in the
last year or so. At the same time, it
does achieve a much higher discussion
buzz than seen for Google’s Nexus 10
launch.

Among those aware, there is a
great deal of excitement for
Skyfall, 4K and a host of news
stories in this edition
See overleaf for the same results rebased among the public as a whole,
including those unfamiliar with
these news stories. You will see that
stories like 4K and Led Zeppelin’s
DVD drop in the rankings as they
suffer from a lack of awareness.
It is encouraging news for 4K, albeit
that relatively few are familiar with
it yet. Among those who are aware,
around 1 in 2 say they are excited
about it. So we would expect this to
increase over time and we will track
it again in the future.

When looking at excitement
levels among the whole
population, Skyfall reigns
supreme at the top of the list
As well as being the most discussed film
we’ve ever measured, it’s also the most
exciting, convincingly ahead of the final
Harry Potter film in our all-time list.
We also see relatively strong
excitement levels for the
Lucasfilm/Disney deal, with many
people anticipating a new trilogy and
more after that. Excitement peaks
among 25-34s.
The launch of 4G, Windows 8 and the
iPad Mini also register good levels for
excitement, all in the top quartile in our
all-time list. The latter comfortably
beats the Nexus 10 in the battle of the
most recent tablet launches.
