As the significant growth of mobile applications grows, so does the interest of in-app advertising. While in-app ads are still a small portion of overall mobile ad spending, brands and marketers are expected to increase their spend over the next few years.
However, it is important to keep in mind that not all in-app ads are created equal. While the functionality of in-app ads is growing, some marketers continue to underwhelm and even annoy consumers with ads that lack relevancy, are disruptive and do not deliver on their promises.
