2. “The only time I don‟t use my mobile

“…but I need it to wake me up!”
A T-Mobile customer, November 2011

4. 1 The internet is mobile
Smartphones are extensions of who we are, how
we see ourselves, how we express ourselves and
they power our communications with friends and
family
• The smartphone has become the digital hub of our
lives
• It‟s the one device we always have immediate
access to…
• …even at home
• Consumers instinctively see it as a remote control
for their lives
@MWJ #CIPRSM
5. 1 The internet is mobile
The 4% rule - Most people value the 4% of
their „friends‟ most:
• BBM is viewed as being highly personal – it‟s
like giving your mobile number to someone
• Whisper it, but Facebook is going off the boil
• People want their privacy back; in some ways
communicating with a small group is harder
then before
@MWJ #CIPRSM
6. 1 The internet is mobile
Consumers are extremely demanding of
their mobiles:
• Network
• Battery life
• Support
• Apps
They have high expectations and low tolerance and
won‟t retry if it doesn‟t work first time
@MWJ #CIPRSM
8. 2 Who are mobile users?
What we know about them that will help us
@MWJ #CIPRSM
9. 2 In the UK there’s about 50 million adults with a
mobile ‘subscription’ – about 92% of all adults
@MWJ #CIPRSM
10. 2 But, as you’d expect with a group this large, they
aren’t homogenous
They‟re in different
life stages, with
different
experience, skills,
expectations and
willingness to do
things
@MWJ #CIPRSM
11. 2 They also spend different amounts of money each
month…

Galaxy S II Curve 3G 9300
