dmexco_2011_j_0809.jpg

What do you see as the biggest hurdle or problem to overcome in the mobile marketing space?

Users are way more advanced than the companies are. They expect things to work. They expect companies to have a mobile website. They expect to find the app they’re looking for. They are more proactive, they’re searching. Because of how personal it is consumers expect mobile advertising to come to life as a service rather than as straight advertising. We’re not totally there yet.

Mobile is a user-driven revolution

Marketers are beginning to come on board. They are starting to include mobile into their marketing strategies, which is really where it has to be. It’s really on the agency side that we need better take up and better understanding. We need agencies to really start innovating and promoting mobile to their clients.

Coca-Cola Launches 2012 Olympics Campaign With Mark Ronson

Mark Ronson with Coke athletes

Mr. Ronson is creating a music track that will tie together the whole marketing campaign around London 2012. He decided which Olympic events he thought created the most promising sounds, and Coca-Cola then found a young athlete from each of Mr. Ronson's chosen events and sports to join the campaign and work as an ambassador for 2012.

Claudia Navarro, Coca-Cola's Olympic marketing director, said that the 2012 campaign is very different from Coke's effort at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. She said, "Stories don't live in one specific media. Last time, we made a TV commercial. This time we are telling stories. And mobile has an incredibly different role -- it means there's an interface with our stories any time, anywhere."

Affluent consumers with children under 18  are a growing slice of the luxury market and mobile is proving the best way for marketers to connect with this segment of the upscale demographic, according to key findings from Ipsos Mendelsohn.

Wealthy parents are more pressed for time than the average luxury consumer, and mobile phones and tablets are becoming the saving grace for affluent families. As roles change and kids affect the purchasing of luxury goods and services more than ever, the affluent family has emerged as a key market for brands looking to see a high ROI.

Mobile bifurcates into two distinct advertising practices

The current mobile advertising landscape has bifurcated into two separate and distinct advertising practices. 

The first is the direct response opportunity where advertisers are looking for reach and conversion based upon pre-defined metrics.

The report noted that mobile app usage surpasses television and internet usage at about 6:00AM until roughly 6:30PM -- just before television's prime-time hours -- otherwise known as the "daypart."
