1. Exploiting the Mobile Advertising Revolution
- How to turn all the 3rd Screen Hype
into a measurable ROI.
2. The most powerful tool ever invented.
Guns Germs and Steel or how humans evolved in the last 13,000 Years
according to Jared Diamond…
Outlining the basics of human behaviour
Humans are curious beings
Humans are incapable of being alone having an inherent fear of solitude.
Human necessity to interact and socialize has powered business throughout
history.
It is no surprise Orange and Vodafone are both in the top 5 largest Romanian
companies, that telecom companies are constantly the most powerful companies
in every country.
Modern Habit: Free moments when alone are filled with a scan of the agenda, a
call or an sms to any friend who will help fill the void of the moment.
The mobile is the ultimate communication tool, an ultimate necessity. We don’t leave
the house without it, because we are inherently unable to live without it. We are
vulnerable without feeling connected, and, most importantly are hungry to
communicate more with it, and to have it communicate with us.

defines traditional media? How can we better understand this and apply this to
mobile?

Confined to the home environment.
Very engaging audio-visual experience.
Unilateral communication.
Limited ability to measure ROI. Interactive actions suffer from media break
conversion loss.
Attempted expanding to outdoor with the advent of plasma.
Failure was clear due to lack of audio-visual marriage and of basic human
interest in socializing and analyzing.
Posters / Outdoor static advertising
Out of home reach
Lack of depth to the information / limited ability to transmit complicated
messages.
Lack of interactivity
Difficult to measure impact, even more difficult to measure ROI.
Humans are incapable of being alone having an inherent fear of solitude.
Also attempts to evolve the plasma for digital posters. Costs an issue.
