THE CONNECTED LIFE
• GSMA shows there are 9 billion connected devices in 2011 and by
2020 there will be 24 billion globally

• Today, connected devices are dominated by mobile phones – this will


change as smartphones, tablets and consumer electronics connect
everything from cars to health services and even entire cities

• Expectation is that the proliferation of connected devices will create a


$4.5 trillion market for global business by 2020

• Should be a banner business for advertising companies, right?

it will remain 1/2 the size of the TV market,
while mobile will likely be 1/10th the size of the TV market

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING…
• 680 global clients interviewed last year about mobile marketing
by Chief Marketer research firm; these are all active marketers,
with an average revenue profile of $150 million

• They said mobile marketing only accounts for 10% of their


marketing spend

• Less than 15% have ever run mobile ads; more than half say
they don’t expect to try it next year

• Only 40% have a mobile optimized website; 14% say their


websites allow mobile buying

To grow the channel, we need to move from
talking with our clients about “mobile marketing”
and focus on “mobile engagement”

WHAT’S THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MARKETERS
Marketing used to be about finding consumer “eyeballs.” Today, it’s about finding
consumers’ eyes, ears, fingers, and feet – all at the same time

 In a consumer study last year, Nielsen found that +40% of the owners of tablets and
smartphones use their devices while watching TV on a daily basis

LEVERAGING THE CONNECTED LIFE FOR MARKETERS
Mobile is unique to marketers because it
combines four characteristics that otherwise
can’t be found in any ad channel – together
they make for an incredibly personal and
immediate experience

1. Always on
2. Portable
3. Multi-device (e.g. camera)
4. Available location data

mobile, Internet and television

• Watch TV, check in via Viggle, and get


real rewards

• Opportunity to breathe new life into an


old channel

+ GREATER BANDWIDTH

+ UNIQUE MARKETING CHARACTERISTICS

= HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR AGENCIES AND CLIENTS

2012: BETTER DISCUSSIONS

Today, mobile conversations with clients are a more


thoughtful dialogue – give consideration to how
mobile functionality relates to clients’ products and
how it fits into their business model

11
MOBILE APP THAT WORKS: HBO GO

• HUGE: an IPG agency in Brooklyn, NY


that builds e-commerce sites for
companies like Ikea and mobile platforms
for Thomson Reuters

• HBO and HUGE had just that conversation


– resulted in HUGE being an integral part
of the initial product development and
subsequent build-out of a new multi-
platform mobile tool

• What happens when you get “mobile


engagement” right? This is what it looks
like…
