Borrell THE LOCAL AND MOBILE AD MARKETS

eMarketer:

Worldwide mobile marketing & advertising spend will reach $19 billion by 2012.

By then, 41% of the U.S. will use Internet-connected mobile devices.

Borrell Associates:

Local online ad spending will grow by 18% in 2011 to $16.1 billion

Increase is fueled by growth in “anything targeted,” & “everything involving social media.”

Platforms: don’t fully enfranchise developers or publishers.

Content: is not effectively monetized; creators and distributors are not incentivized.

App Developers: are getting frustrated; pressure from their backers.

Service Providers: have the opportunity to aggregate, monetize and incentivize.

THE STREAM ECONOMY

Status updates, news posts, images, video, tweets, check-ins.

Hence, Ad.ly

FRAGMENTED  DYNAMICS  =  OPPORTUNITY
