More people now access the Internet on mobile than via the PC, and usage of smartphones and tablets is through the roof. Yet mobile ad spending still lags behind other media. Although many brands are still ambivalent, smart brands are starting to embrace mobile advertising, and the very smartest ones are finding it to be a source of significant competitive advantage. Why? Because mobile is so personal, it is now possible to target an audience with unheard of precision.

Location-based advertising has evolved dramatically from its humble beginnings of simple geo-fence tests. Today, retail, QSR and auto brands are leading the way and running sophisticated campaigns that are delivering meaningful metrics.

Join a stellar group of marketers and mobile experts from Verve Mobile, xAd and YP, to hear the 3 most important insights from each industry category on how applying location intelligence to mobile campaigns will drive measurable ROI. These insights are based on thousands of campaigns in 2013 and 2014 - don't miss this data-rich discussion!

In a survey of client-side marketers worldwide it was found that only 17% of marketers reporting that mobile was “very integrated” into overall marketing strategy. With 84% of consumers expecting a consistent experience across all channels, including mobile, marketers need to make sure that they are delivering consistent and relevant communication across all consumer touch-points. Customers expect seamless interactions with a brand cross channel and for that brand to evolve with their digital usage. Delivering a well-rounded campaign doesn't start with tactics, it needs a strategy.

With today's mobile marketing technology, reaching your broad base of customers is easier than ever. However, to make your message stick you have to go deeper. In this webinar, we reinforce the importance of one-to-one engagement when it comes to today’s connected consumer—after all, 54% would consider ending their loyalty programs if they weren’t given tailor-made, relevant content and offers—but we will also provide you with the tools you need to build mobile marketing strategy with the individual consumer in mind.

With some analysis predicting that 80% of all global web traffic will come from mobile devices in less than 5 years, it has never been more important for businesses to embrace and optimize the mobile channel fully.
