From my presentation at CommunicAsia 2009 (Singapore) see http://tinyurl.com/kup9pt
The State of the Mobile Marketing Industry and beyond: Consumer generated content, social networking, online on-demand video, engagement and the death of television as we know it - The velocity of change only seems to be increasing. Zenith Optimedia estimates online advertising spending will grow 8.6% in 2009, reaching $54.3 billion by the end of the year, even as the overall market slumps by 6.9%, as marketers increasingly leverage digital media and technology platforms to establish a dialog with their customers, optimize messaging and delivery and, ultimately, drive brand preference. How will the looming recession impact on media and advertising? Will digital media suffer along with other platforms or might our industry benefit from these tough times as marketers shift a disproportionate amount of spending to performance-based marketing channels?

28. Some are ... not there yet ;)
Steve Ballmer (CEO of MSFT): "...the number 1 device today,
and likely the number 1 device for the next 5 years, is the
PC...I'm not saying there's not a role for phones and PCs. I
believe in phones, I believe in the PC. What's the difference?
Probably we'll think of it as screen size." WSJ June 2, 2009
29. Web-native, mobile Marketing:
Small is beautiful. Hits are in Niches
The right 100 people that know the right 100
people that know another 100 right people...

39. Some challenges for mobile advertising
•Small is beautiful - but when will the
big clients start to believe it?
•The new hits are in the niches - but are
they still big enough for the key
players?
•The users are in control - so what
about the client?
•User permission is always required - is
that realistic?
