Mobile advertising works when used as part of a cross-media campaign and dialogue. According to Berg Insight, mobile will account for 15.2 percent of global online ad spend in 2016. The total value of the global mobile marketing and advertising market will grow from $3.4 billion in 2010 at a compound annual growth rate of 37 percent to $22.4 billion in 2016.
Mobile advertising matured drastically in 2011, with more sophisticated ad units and campaign executions. This maturation has made consumers more open to mobile ads. According to Nielsen’s State of the Media: Consumer Usage Report, 51 percent of consumers say that they are OK with advertising on their devices if it means they can access content for free.
