Time Spent In Mobile Far Outpaces Ad Spending

Web publishers have long lamented the lack of ad spending online in relation to the amount of time spent online. Now Flurry is making the same case for mobile. In a new study, the mobile advertising and analytics firm says mobile is the most imbalanced medium when it comes to ad spending versus time spent, at 1% compared to 23%. That makes the split of ad spending and time spent on the desktop Web -- at 16% versus 22% -- look a lot better.

By contrast, print gets 29% of ad dollars but only 6% of time spent. Flurry derived the cross-media figures from publicly available sources including comScore, Veronis Suhler, Mary Meeker, Alexa and its own data tracking more than 140,000 iOS and Android apps.

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.
