Jeff Kamikow | Could Mobile Represent 75% of Internet Use Next Year?

Where do you access the internet? Mobile advertisers like Jeff Kamikow are banking on the idea that you will access the web on your mobile device. And they have figures to back up their case. According to a new report released by Publicis’ Zenith unit, it forecasts that 75% of all internet use will be on mobile devices in 2017. This is up from 68% this year. It also estimates that this number will creep up to nearly 80% in 2018, which is more than double the number in 2012.


If that is the case, Jeff Kamimow and other mobile advertisers will be very busy. The report forecasts that 6o% of all internet advertising will be mobile advertising, and the total number for mobile advertising will reach $134 billion, which means it will be more than print, billboards, and other OOH advertising combined. The report looked at sixty countries nationwide. Spain was number one in the percentage of internet use through mobile devices at 85%. This was followed by Hong Kong, China, and the United States.


With this in mind, there will be no slowdown in mobile advertising in the very near future. In fact, the complete opposite will be the norm. Companies will need to make mobile advertising their number one priority, creating advertisements that best reflect how users access the internet and view their branding. They will then need to create a cohesive mobile advertising campaign that includes website advertising, social media advertising, and video stream advertising to best reach potential customers in different situations as they access their brand.

Will Jeff Kamikow and Other Advertisers Use Driverless Cars to Enhance Their Advertising?

Could automobiles become the next source for ad revenue for businesses? We’ve already seen the mobile ad business boom in the last few years as mobile ad spending has soared past desktop ad spending in the past year. While businesses might have to worry about whether or not they should invest more in mobile web advertising or in-app advertising, the next generation of mobile advertisers, like Jeff Kamikow, may be going on the road. There was a recent article in Ad Adage that discussed the role driver-less vehicles will have in the advertising world. Although drivers will still have control over a vehicle if they need to, they will have a lot of free time on their hands. When the average American adult can spend as much as an hour a day in a vehicle, that could potentially be a lot of advertising. Ad Adage makes it a point of saying that we can’t be too far away from Uber and Lyft starting to bring in advertisers to their drivers’ cars. Who knows what the future may hold? From using bea...

Jeff Kamikow | How will Google AMP Affect Your Mobile Strategy?

Image
Jeff Kamikow  "Google’s AMP project, short for Accelerated Mobile Pages, sounds great on paper for consumers of content, but for mobile advertisers and businesses it represents a tremendous shakeup." Put simply, an AMP-enabled page uses a stripped-down version of HTML and Javascript to render text and images much faster. It one sense, it’s like Google is trying to bring back the simplicity of mid-1990s internet. Why is Google doing this? Page speed and mobile-friendliness. It is in Google’s interests to make its search engine as friendly as possible, and people do not like to wait for pages to load. More to the point, Google wants to deliver the information people are seeking as quickly as possible. That’s why they’ve developed things like knowledge cards and quick snippets. But if someone just wants the latest info from a news story, that’s too much information for a quick snippet.  Enter AMP pages. AMP-enabled pages require less rendering time and less data to transfer, bot...
