Findings also reveal over the next 4 years, mobile’s share will increase to at least 10% (on avg.) based on increased adoption of smartphones alone. Consumers are rapidly adopting mobile…shouldn’t marketers too?
Even as we rush headlong towards 2013, the speed-of-light changes in our industry demand we all become visionaries, able to look past what I like to call “The Great Disruption” – the immediate and ever-evolving commotion in the media landscape – to the horizon: 2017.
That’s exactly what I’ll be talking about when representatives from 2,000 local newspapers and their digital products gather in Atlanta from September 11th to the 14th for the 2012 Local Media Fall Publishers’ & Advertising Directors’ Conference.
