Content adaptation is required to provide information and functionality across multiple platforms, and most importantly a good customer experience.
As advertisers we not only have to deal with the fragmentation of audience across media but also within platforms like tablets and mobile as more devices flood to market.
Consumer Behaviour
How has mobile changed media consumption?
A device with a recognized operating system with the ability to install apps.
These features allow us to do much more with our phones and help drive increased consumption of information through the devices. The web used to be something you went to, with these devices, it is something you take with you…
What is a Smartphone?
Smartphones are not just changing the way we consume information online…
…they are replacing everyday items.
Consumers are using Smartphones to:
• help with shopping (79%)• make a purchase, online, in-store, or on their phones
(74%)• look for local information and take action (88%), and
82% of Smartphone users notice mobile ads.
The mobile is now wherethe purchase cycle starts and finishes.
