By 2011, advertisers will be spending $14.4 billion on mobile media. How are you going to get a piece of the action?
Don't act like you're not impressed. These days, mobile is going places we never thought possible as every major player is competing fiercely to win the costumer and own the market. As a result, analysts have set out lofty projections for mobile advertising, and the industry is gearing up for a revolution.
Yet despite the hype, startups in the mobile space continue to face a long, bumpy road - from relatively weak uptake on the brand-side to a poor showing on the consumer-side, this 'aint a place for the faint of heart.
In this Strategy Series, we'll hear what's actually happening on the ground from the giants that are spurring the change to the startups that are hot on their heels.
We’ll discuss:
- Which ad formats and campaign strategies have brands been biting on, and which have been most effective?
- What are some of the most progressive mobile campaigns today and what have been the results?
- How are startups and mobile giants navigating – or bypassing – the carriers to reach their customers?
- What untapped opportunities exist and who’s in the best position to take advantage of the white spaces?
Speakers:
Frank Barbieri, CEO, Transpera
Margo Epstein, Head of Sales, West Coast, Nokia Interactive
Jason Spero, VP Marketing, AdMob
