Finally  the  year  of  the  mobile.    Wait,  what?!  

Note:  What  this  presentation  is  -­      A discussion and review on mobile marketing trends, what’s working, what’s not working, and where things might be going. The content has been filtered to give the most impact to marketers exploring mobile marketing now, while still highlighting some areas that may be of interest in the future.  

What  this  presentation  is  not  -­    A deep dive into specific tactics on mobile marketing nor is it an exhaustive look at all the emerging trends and technologies.

Ryan  P.  Tuttle  •  VP of Collinson Digital

Why  the  title?  Year  of  the  mobile  -­      I’ve heard “Next year will be the year of the mobile” for at least 5 years now. I think it is finally here and in some ways snuck up on us.

Why is this year different? First we have to look at what we mean by “mobile marketing”.

  Wikipedia  – “Mobile Marketing… is meant to describe marketing on or with a mobile device…”

Then what’s a “mobile device”?

How  my  brain  works  What  is  mobile  anyway?  LCD  “paper”    

One  device  multiple  screens?  

How  my  brain  works  

How  my  brain  works  The  Matrix…

…Bringing  it  back  to  the  here  and  now

I  was  wrong    •  Don’t focus too much on the device, although that is important#

•  It’s marketing to people anywhere they go#

•  Less “predictable” than other forms of marketing

Mobile marketing really isn’t about the device, it’s about leveraging the technology and marketing to people while they are on the move.

It’s anywhere marketing… it’s everywhere marketing

Time  Out  

Based on the idea of “everywhere” marketing and properly leveraging the technology. Let’s look at some dos & don’ts

•  SMS campaign#

•  Apps#

•  Mobile site#

•  Mobile ads

SMS  campaign  

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (7/10): #Text messaging is banned for all drivers in 30 states and D.C.

These campaigns can still work but the increased restrictions can hurt

This particular campaign was part of a larger media blitz so it works for the branding aspect

Still legal to text and walk in NY

Latest  Trends  

Technology  

Social Check-in is a mobile capability which allows users of a check-in application on a smartphone, on a mobile website or via text message to state their current location using location-based technology. Users find the venue they are located at on the platform and choose to “check in” to that specific place.

•  Canvas drawing: Sites can mark off a space on a page where interactive pictures, charts and graphs, game components, and whatever else imagination allows can be drawn directly by programming code and user interaction.

•  Native video and audio streaming support
