Mobile Marketing & Media Agencies White Paper

If you're still wondering if it's the year of mobile, you've already missed it. While the medium still pales in advertising dollars spent -- just $6.4 billion worldwide in 2012 -- it occupies an outsized place in the marketer's consciousness. Apple, Google, Jumptap and others would like to turn the phone into a branding medium, but meanwhile search spending is expected to outpace display for at least the next several years. Global spending on banners and rich media is expected to reach $1.5 billion in 2013, while search goes up to $2.2 billion. This Mobile Fact Pack includes key data on mobile ad spending, platform and OEM share, penetration and demographics, consumer behavior, top mobile ad agencies and mobile ad networks.
