Where Does Mobile Marketing Fit?

o It allows consumers to have interactive experiences with their devices

Page 7: What is Mobile Marketing?

Mobile is Part of Digital

o Digital encompasses all internet connected devices and experiences including:

— Online through PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, portable gaming devices, smartphones and tablets

o Mobile is a subset of digital, on which many of the same platforms, brands, content and social media are available

— Only consumers use these differently on a mobile device than they do “online”

Where Does Mobile Marketing Fit?

o Mobile should not be planned in isolation from other marketing initiatives

o It is the one medium that can activate all media

o Start thinking mobile first!— Do not ask yourself: “Will mobile work for this campaign?”— Ask yourself: “What element of mobile works for this campaign?”
