Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG): This vertical
experienced a 31% lift in interaction rates on
Thanksgiving weekend last year as people searched
for last minute cooking tips. Advertisers should plan
to target customers hosting parties for the upcoming
holidays and leverage the opportunity to
cross-promote snack foods, beverages, alcohol,
decorations and other categories. Brands in the
Finance space and particularly the tax preparation
sector could take a page from CPG to promote
financial tools and products to budget-conscious
consumers.
Entertainment: The movie sub-vertical experienced
a 30% lift in interaction rates on Thanksgiving
weekend. Brands in the Travel/Tourism and Dating
verticals should develop mobile campaigns to reach
consumers during holiday time periods when
families and singles are looking for ideas for activities
and outings.
Restaurants: Individuals and families were looking
for a meal out the day after a big holiday, as seen in
the interaction rate lift of 51% on the day after
Thanksgiving“Black Friday”. This is a perfect time for
restaurants to draw in hungry holiday shoppers who
are out of the house using their mobile devices as a
research tool to find the best coupons and specials.
Telecom and Retail brands should leverage the
immediacy of mobile to reach consumers on the go
with product sales and promotions.

platform during these holidays saw a
significant spike in mobile consumers
interacting with their brands. Advertisers
across every vertical can leverage these

Automotive has placed in the Top 10 Mobile
Advertising Verticals on Millennial Media’s network
for the last 7 months, signifying that Automotive
advertisers continue to heavily invest in mobile. The
unique attributes of mobile enable brands to
achieve a focused share of voice and precise
measurement of campaign performance (Chart A).
Over 35% of all campaigns leveraged the targeted
reach method Behavioral Audience in October
(Chart B). Advertisers leveraged this
highly-engaged method to reach specific in-market
intenders i.e., Luxury, SUV, Passenger and Truck.
Behavioral Audience targeting allows brands to
effectively reach specific audiences for a variety of
campaign objectives. For instance, national or
global auto advertisers can build brand affinity with
consumers and regional/local dealers can leverage
this method to drive test drives at their dealerships.
We partnered with comScore to conduct a research
survey focused on mobile automotive advertising,
usage and growth over the past year. The results
show the automotive industry’s mobile ad spend
has grown 169% year-over-year. Millennial Media’s
Automotive ad campaigns have outpaced this
industry growth with a 299% increase since January
2010. This explosive growth can be attributed to
brands launching a variety of campaigns from
Vehicle Launches and Retail Events to Divisional
Awareness and Lead Generation/Direct Marketing
programs.
Automotive in-market intenders are accessing auto
content on mobile to research their new car
purchase one to three times per month (Chart C).
These findings demonstrate that during the
highly-researched car buying process, consumers
are incorporating mobile into their research and
purchase actions on a recurrent basis.
