The Next Screen Agenda: Mobile Disrupts The Mix

This is not a test. The age of mobile “experimentation” is over. Devices are not silos. Mobile is not an “emerging platform.” Smartphones and tablets have been fully integrated into people’s everyday lives. It now falls to marketers and agencies to catch up by bringing the “next screen” into their big brand plans.

Featured Speakers

At the inaugural OMMA Mobile Europe, Mediapost takes mobile off its pedestal as the bright, shiny object and puts it into a more valuable place - as an indispensable part of our larger marketing plans. Whether as an activation device for other media programs, a second screen to TV viewing, or as a unique tool for locating customers one-to-one in time and space, the mobile phone makes the most sense for brands when it complements and deepens all the relationships brands are establishing across the new world of multiple screens.

Join us as we look closely at how mobile integrates with a range of existing platforms and plans. Though mobile clearly captured user mind share long ago, we'll ask agency and marketing execs how this screen stacks up against others as a real branding vehicle. The mobile commerce fire has been lit, with an 11x growth expected in consumer purchases via phones by 2017. But, how will this affect the existing e-commerce and online marketing strategies of retailers? Two of the biggest drivers of online growth -- social media and local search -- would seem to be natural partners of mobile. But is the buzz around “SoLoMo” resulting in scalable, practical solutions for marketers?

Smartphones and tablets are the new TV companion. But, are they really a friend or foe of programmers and their advertisers? And do the major media, which have been struggling mightily to make digital business models work, have a viable path to make sustainable models from the massive migration of their users to devices?  

Mobile offers both promise and peril to all media as we have known them. At OMMA Mobile Europe we bring the platform out of its silo and in close to brand plans, e-commerce, television, social media and search to explore how the great disruptor can become marketing’s new pocket companion.
