The document is a mobile advertising handbook that provides an overview of the mobile marketing landscape and opportunities for advertisers. It discusses how mobile usage is surpassing desktop as consumers use their phones throughout the purchasing process. The handbook then outlines opportunities in direct response marketing through text/SMS, location-based services, mobile search, and ways to drive engagement both on and off the device. Overall, the handbook aims to equip advertisers with knowledge on how to effectively plan mobile campaigns.
Mobile usage is growing rapidly worldwide. Over half of adults in Europe and the US own smartphones, and smartphone usage exceeds 90% of the population in many countries. The rise of mobile is impacting consumer media consumption and behavior, with many using their phones for activities like social networking, video viewing, searching, e-commerce, and display advertising. Advanced targeting and analytics are providing opportunities for mobile advertising, with mobile click-through rates significantly higher than desktop. While fragmentation remains a challenge, marketers can optimize cross-device campaigns and gain insights through improved tracking and reporting of mobile ad performance.
The document discusses the importance of integrating mobile into marketing strategies. It notes that mobile internet usage is growing rapidly and will soon surpass desktop usage. Marketers need to design websites for mobile, optimize campaigns for mobile, and harness new opportunities from understanding shifting mobile behaviors. The key is having a comprehensive mobile strategy that makes the consumer experience seamless across platforms and devices. Data and innovation should also be part of the strategy to create value for audiences.

As mobile devices become the user interface to the world we live in, they have started to drive the evolution of a wide range of industries. While this may look like land grab, in fact it is the scale and competitiveness of the mobile industry that is driving innovation that, in turn, benefits other industries and accelerates their rate of evolution. In this seminar, we’ll look at how the competitive behaviour in the mobile industry is both threatening and creating opportunities for innovation in other consumer electronics markets.
Mobile Breakfast 2013 - Henry Blodget Presentation
The document discusses the growth of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets overtaking personal computers. It notes that while mobile device sales, especially smartphones, are growing rapidly globally, penetration rates are leveling off in major markets after passing 50% and growth is slower for older and lower-income users. The future will see continued global growth in mobile, but at a slower pace than the last few years in major existing markets.
The document discusses opportunities for carriers and OTT providers in the changing mobile ecosystem. It notes that OTTs are accelerating changes in user behavior and the shift from voice to data revenues. However, the real threat to core revenues comes from local broadband competition rather than OTTs. While OTTs in voice and messaging represent zero new revenue, the overall OTT model provides opportunities to leverage infrastructure, gain closer access to customers, and offer new services like quality of experience guarantees. Telecom companies need to redefine their core assets and value proposition in order to capture new opportunities in this evolving landscape.

The document discusses how consumer usage of mobile devices for internet access and social media is growing rapidly, surpassing desktop usage. It notes that nearly half of smartphone users have Android devices, so brands need to support Android as well as iOS to reach the majority of mobile users. The document also provides tips on developing an effective mobile marketing strategy, such as understanding consumer mobile behaviors and choosing technologies like SMS that are widely used.
The document discusses the ongoing "smartphone wars" between Apple's iPhone and Google's Android operating system. While Android has gained significant market share over the past year, surpassing the iPhone, the document argues that no single platform will dominate due to efforts by wireless carriers to maintain balance and prevent any one company from gaining too much control. The carriers will support multiple smartphone platforms, including Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and others, in order to maintain their own power and influence in the marketplace.

Mobile hotel booking apps have grown significantly since 2007. They provide opportunities for both businesses and consumers. Hotel booking apps allow consumers to easily compare rates, book rooms, and get notifications on discounts. They also provide analytics to businesses. Experts believe these apps will continue growing as consumers expect to manage all aspects of travel on their mobile devices. Mobile payments are also becoming more common through apps like Starbucks, making the hotel booking experience even more seamless.

Motorola was established in 1928 and started as a manufacturer of car radios. It has since expanded into many areas of technology including semiconductors, mobile phones, wireless infrastructure, and more. Motorola developed key technologies like the walkie talkie and six sigma quality system. However, it has also spun off several business units over time into separate companies when they did not fit its core focus. Currently, Motorola focuses on enterprise and home mobility solutions, and developing innovative wireless technologies and devices.

OgilvyRED - Dollars and Sense of ConnectivityOgilvy
Mobile connectivity has the potential to provide significant economic and social benefits globally, but its impact depends on factors like infrastructure development and affordability. The mobile connectivity ecosystem involves infrastructure providers (carriers), services/content providers, and consumers. While carriers play a pivotal role by operating networks, the benefits are not evenly distributed. In developed nations, higher bandwidth enables services like video streaming but in developing areas, basic connectivity can improve access to information, resources and opportunities that positively impact areas like health, education and economic growth. Ensuring widespread affordable access remains an ongoing challenge.

GMIC 2012 - Megatrends, Vision Mobile, Presentation by Mr Andreas ConstantinouGreat Wall Club
The document discusses how the telecom business is transforming in the software era. It summarizes that mobile platforms are battling for dominance while Internet business models are impacting telecoms. It also discusses how developers and tools are fueling a mobile app gold rush, and how telecom companies must unbundle and compete in the software era to survive.
Cross-platform tools are helping address the challenge developers face in making apps for the many different mobile platforms. There are now over 100 cross-platform tools that allow developers to reuse code across platforms like iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry to drastically reduce development costs. These tools are democratizing development by extending the reach of web developers beyond the browser. They also take the web beyond browsers by combining the ease of web development with advantages of native apps like access to device capabilities. Cross-platform tools dilute developer lock-in to platforms and the power platforms have over developers.

The document discusses how the telecom business is transforming in the software era. It notes that smartphones have reached 30% market share globally in 2011. Android has become the dominant smartphone operating system. This has benefited Samsung and HTC but put pressure on "old guard" mobile phone makers. Profits are now monopolized by companies that have a tailored, integrated value chain from cloud to silicon. Those with a modular value chain are at a disadvantage.

The survey results show that the most important factors for developers when deciding which app stores to distribute to are target audience reach and cost of submission. Developers find the submission process and different requirements for each app store to be the most annoying parts of distributing apps. The main reason developers do not submit apps to more stores is because of the large administrative hassle involved. Most developers submit their finished apps within 1-2 days and their apps run on Android and iOS.
