About John Buffone

With over 25 years of experience in the consumer research and entertainment industries I\'ve advised many of the largest media and consumer technology brands in the industry. My industry expertise is focused on how connected devices are rapidly changing the way consumers use technology at home and on the go. As such, my research focuses on the confluence of digital content distribution and consumer electronics trends. As an industry analyst, you\'ll regularly see me quoted in the trades.Prior to joining NPD’s Connected Intelligence team in 2012, I held positions as Director of Product & Client Development for NPD’s Entertainment practice. In these roles I led NPD’s home video client service team that supported the evolving digital market intelligence needs of the major movie studios and video retailers. I developed NPD’s Blu-ray Disc research portfolio, Digital Video tracking service, as well as the Home Automation and Digital Distribution Advisory services.
