Exploiting the Mobile Advertising Revolution  - How to turn all the 3rd Screen Hype

into a measurable ROI.

Guns Germs and Steel or how humans evolved in the last 13,000 Years according to Jared Diamond…

Outlining the basics of human behaviour Humans are curious beings Humans are incapable of being alone having an inherent fear of solitude.

Human necessity to interact and socialize has powered business throughout history. It is no surprise Orange and Vodafone are both in the top 5 largest Romanian

companies, that telecom companies are constantly the most powerful companies in every country.

Modern Habit: Free moments when alone are filled with a scan of the agenda, a call or an sms to any friend who will help fill the void of the moment.

The mobile is the ultimate communication tool, an ultimate necessity. We don’t leave the house without it, because we are inherently unable to live without it. We are vulnerable without feeling connected, and, most importantly are hungry to communicate more with it, and to have it communicate with us.

The most powerful tool ever invented.

Sometimes we get too caught up on the nature of a certain media, or, on the details of a technology we forget the human factor of what it really all means. What really defines traditional media? How can we better understand this and apply this to mobile?

TV Confined to the home environment. Very engaging audio-visual experience. Unilateral communication. Limited ability to measure ROI. Interactive actions suffer from media break

conversion loss. Attempted expanding to outdoor with the advent of plasma.

Failure was clear due to lack of audio-visual marriage and of basic human interest in socializing and analyzing.

Posters / Outdoor static advertising Out of home reach Lack of depth to the information / limited ability to transmit complicated

messages. Lack of interactivity Difficult to measure impact, even more difficult to measure ROI. Humans are incapable of being alone having an inherent fear of solitude. Also attempts to evolve the plasma for digital posters. Costs an issue.
