Mobile Insider Summit: Feb 2013
- MC
- Steve Smith , Columnist, MediaPost
We live in a multi-screen world where people are constantly connected throughout the day, and switching between devices is commonplace. In fact, according to to a recent Google study, 90% of people move between devices to accomplish a goal, whether that’s on smartphones, PCs, tablets or TV. During this keynote, Bon Mercado, an Internet Advertising Veteran at Google, will discuss this new multi-screen reality, how we use these devices together, and what that means for the way that businesses connect with consumers.

- Bon Mercado , Head of Mobile Solutions, Google
If the new age of marketing really is about putting the “customer first,” then what are brands learning from their base via devices? How is their understanding of the purchase path, the decision process, customer sensitivity to push and pull messaging, and even just the daily lifecycle? We start the Mobile Insider Summit with a report from brands on what mobile platforms are teaching them about customers and the tactics they are using for opening up a listening channel.

Whether for business or simply for pleasure, mobile has had a major impact on air travel. Airlines are using the medium as a channel for travel services, marketing and commerce. JetBlue’s Jonathan Stephens will show us how his company’s app strategy worked from an understanding of the connected traveler’s day in order to address this “travel ribbon.” He will show us how the brand is managing the ever changing landscape of innovation and technology to extend their brand through these channels and look ahead at the next steps for the travel industry.

It’s a phone, after all is said and done. Mobile devices are all about intimacy, and the messages brands send to users must respect and reflect that basic reality. From the enduring power of SMS/MMS to new alerting systems, click-to-call, IVR and even the ways in which apps and mobile sites address and respond to users on a personal basis, brands need to create dialogue here, not just impressions. How and how often do consumers really want to hear from their brands? Is mobile a remarketing powerhouse waiting to be unleashed? Can apps really have that “personal” touch that connects with visitors? Marketing experts explore best practices for talking with customers and actually building relationships.

Mobile platforms give marketers access to more than phone numbers. They are the ‘people meters’ metrics companies have been promising for decades. But what can these devices tell us about your customers, how do marketers access it, analyze it and then integrate it effectively into that growing pile of so-called “big data” that is suppose dot be driving the 21st Century company? We bring in the numbers crunchers to discuss the state of data collection on mobile. If data is “the new media” the currency of customer-focused marketing, then how does mobile fit into the CRM puzzle and the big data train?

In a breakthrough campaign for its line of car care products, Meguiars demonstrated that hyper-local mobile ad targeting combined with rich mobile brand assets really can lead to more than increased foot traffic and purchase intent. It can lead to measurable sales lifts at retail. Senior Marketing Manager Kristin Ryba shows us the receipt.

Mobile advertising talks a good “local” game but where are the examples of tightly geo-targeted campaigns that actually move foot traffic or have proven to capture people at that critical point and place of decision? This panel brings together agency execs and marketers with real local tales to tell – about the effectiveness of localized mobile advertising, its scalability, the reality of geo-targeting via ad networks and the metrics these campaigns cast off.

‘Showrooming’ is so 2011. Instead of trying to chase away online interlopers who were purportedly hijacking customers in Aisle 5 via smartphones, retailers wised up to the new reality of bricks and mortar in 2012. This is all about enhancing the in-store experience. Entertain and inform the mobilized shopper – that is the mantra of 2013. Devices now give merchants the opportunity to personalize the shopping journey, enrich engagement with products, answer questions, and even keep the conversation going outside of the store. In these early days of augmented retail, how are the best practitioners rethinking how devices can redefine the shopping experience?

The most visited online newspaper site in the world is now The UK based Daily Mail, and its aggressive and successful expansion into the U.S. helped push the brand even beyond the NYTimes’s massive reach. Digital Editor Martin Clarke explores what the brand has learned from its 31 million monthly mobile unique users and the challenges of monetizing a channel that is engaging readers longer and more often than the Web itself.

Mobile is not “mobile” anymore. Consumer engagement with digital media occurs across multiple screens at home and on-the-go and in multiple contexts and user modes. Consumers are swapping different screens in and out, performing different tasks when in various modes of use, and then pushing content to themselves and others on yet another nest of multiple screens. Context just isn’t what it used to be. These new behaviors bring marketers closer to the real-world path to purchase, but how can ad planning and technology adapt to the new stultifying complexity of it all? Are messaging and distribution strategies being built to accommodate this lifestyle? At what level (branding, technology, messaging?) do we solve for the multi-screen challenge?

Mobile marketing remains new territory for many brands, but they need to tread carefully here in order to connect with consumers without overstepping boundaries. Millward Brown’s AdRaction study found that only 11 percent of smartphone users and 16 percent of tablet users indicate they are favorable toward mobile advertising, indicating a chasm between effectiveness and love. This session includes an overview of the ad formats that successfully achieve the right balance in reaching consumers via mobile and opportunities for marketers and publishers to innovate, test, learn and effectively use mobile to build great brands.

Can smartphones and tablets transform the signature “passive” medium of the last century into a truly interactive one for media companies and their marketing partners? Pioneers of second screen design discuss what we know thus far about this new living room dynamic in which devices bring a viewer’s social network into the living room. How should we treat this newly created digital space – as we would a social network, as an extension of TV programming or as a whole new platform with its own rules? Is this the “interactive TV” we have been waiting for? Or is “social TV” and the untethered “third screen” going to shake up TV as much as did cable, DVRs and the remote control?
