How do you make money from apps?
Should you jump onto the bandwagon?
• Promotional or brand building? • Free or paid? • Niche or mass market? • Developed or emerging markets? • Translating brand values…
How to do it right: The Fanta Stealth Sound System
• Ogilvy UK • Coca-Cola – Fanta • App uses ultra hi-freq noises to let teens communicate in secret • Distributed on cans of Fanta, wap.fanta.eu, GetJar… • 120k dl’s on GetJar – 6 wks
In closing…
• Apps are booming and are here to stay
• Apps are more then just for smartphones
• Apps can be a very engaging way to communicate with consumers
• Consumer understanding and campaign objectives are key
• Distribution should be free and can be done globally or regionally
