Mobile Marketer recently released a report, “Mobile Outlook 2013,” discussing mobile’s expected future
success across several segments (e.g. advertising, content, search, etc.). Report outlooks include:
– Advertising – In 2013, participants will see a lot more mobile ad content delivered to them. Mobile ads will need to be hyper-
relevant to be effective and for closing the loop from a reporting standpoint, which will enable brands to effectively measure
the ROI of offers delivered personal levels.
– Content – Content strategies will have to become more sophisticated to be able to tell the rich product stories that drive
sales. Going forward, retailers will need to leverage augmented reality, rich media advertising and other content strategies to
keep up with participants.
– Search – The report references Performics as a thought leader in the space as marketers continue to make mobile search a
priority. Noting that in 2013, marketers will also need to continue to find ways to differentiate their mobile search campaigns
from their desktop ones; Creating highly engaging mobile experiences remains an issue that advertisers will need to
overcome in 2013 in order to maximize mobile search investment.
