Centro’s Mobile Experience Includes 3,200 Campaigns for All Major Industries
CHICAGO, IL – October 7, 2013 – Centro (centro.net), a provider of software and services for modern media agencies, today announced the release of specialized digital advertising solutions for mobile. Centro’s mobile solutions encompass strategies, techniques and technology for multi-screen planning, targeting and rich media execution. The company’s knowledge in mobile advertising covers more than 3,200 campaigns for brands in all major industries.
According to VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, people spend 12% of their media consumption time on mobile, yet only 3% of ad budgets are dedicated to the space. Much of the challenges cited by marketers are the lack of optimized assets, cloudy industry standards in measurement and tracking, and complexity in building unique creative. Nevertheless, the growth in mobile in the U.S. is gaining momentum as smartphone penetration is now 61% (Nielsen), while tablets are 40% (Consumer Electronics Association). At the end of 2013, networking company Cisco projects that the number of mobile devices in the market will exceed the human population worldwide. By 2017, mobile devices will account for 25% of online sales in the U.S., according to eMarketer. To discuss these trends, Centro is hosting a free webinar with the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) and technology provider Thinknear on Tuesday, October 8.
