Quotes from leading global mobile organisations:
"There is wide consensus that mobile advertising is on the verge of major growth and that ad spend on mobile is where online spending was in the 1990s. However, there is also widespread debate around the value of mobile advertising and whether its selling point is its usefulness as a direct response tool, its importance as a means to engage with consumers on their terms, or its ability, through location awareness, to deliver the right ad in the right context. The Mobile Ad World Focus is a publication that comes to market at the right time to provider companies and brands a means to navigate this tough and confusing terrain, and we are proud to support it."
