Is the greatest relationship you have on a daily basis
@mobilesquared
The Mobile
It knows your passwords
You sleep with itYou’re together for 16+ hours per day
You play with it watching TV
It knows your favourite things
It knows where you like to eat
You stroke it more than 50 times a day
You take it everywhere
You take it to the toilet
It knows all your intimate secrets
But how personal is your mobile?
Shaping fashion
Not even arctic conditions can stop you from using your smartphone
The Mobile What?
@mobilesquared
Mobile is fundamentally a “time-driven” mechanism
@mobilesquared
The Mobile Minute
As a brand you have less than 1 minute to make sure your app/site is THE preferred destination

What is your marketing mix?
There is a disconnect between mobile’s prominence in
our daily lives, and the importance placed by brands as
a means of communicating
Is data enough?
We need to consider the every users’ daily routine
@mobilesquared
How do you create your mobile strategy?
Device data
Mobile behaviour
3rd party data
Preferences / likes
• 24.3% of businesses know their mobile customers’ age,
gender, location & preferences
• 36% of businesses only know their mobile number
The missing data: Brands need to understand the mobile user on a personal level to truly deliver a compelling experience
