1. MobilityMobile app usage is on the rise. And consumers are

becoming conditioned to expect everything digital to act like a mobile app.

A mobile app is inherently interactive and provides a feedback loop based on our actions or input.

2. Youtility No one wants a pitch anymore. Consumers expect useful, helpful experiences from the brands they

do business with.

“Helping can replace selling, or at the very least reduce the friction within that sales transaction. And you can do this. You can help your customers learn…You can help

them plan.…You can help them enjoy.” - Jay Baer

3. Content OverloadEveryone is bombarded by content, content and more

content. It’s everywhere.

Information consumption behaviors are evolving to skimming and surfing. Think “snacks” not “dinner.”

So, Landing Pages Work.

But Visitor Expectations Are Increasing, And

Formulaic Landing Pages Just Won’t Cut It.

What Is A Marketing App?

A marketing app is a browser-based digital

experience designed for user interaction. It’s not a

mobile app that runs on a mobile operating system

as an installed application. Rather, it’s an

interactive, engaging experience that’s l ives within

the browser, regardless of device. It’s desktop,

mobile, tablet—it’s any device, any time.
