• Second volume of Mobile Audience Radar maps the daily mobile routine of smart commuters in the UK.

Berlin/London 20th May 2015 - adsquare, Europe’s leading provider for mobile audience data offering agencies and advertisers premium audiences defined by local context and mobile behaviour, today released its second insights report in the Mobile Audience Radar series, the most comprehensive examination of mobile consumer behaviour across 45+ key verticals ranging from Sports Enthusiasts and Students, to Luxury Shoppers and 'Foodies'.

In addition to providing a Top 10 list of the ways UK commuters use their smartphones, the report also identifies the chief tasks and 'mobile moments' along the commute — those points in time and space when Forrester says people pull out their mobile device to get what they need most — thus revealing opportunities for brands, apps and advertisers to potentially deliver more relevant advertising and maximize mobile campaigns.

Key findings from the report: • The average daily commute in the UK is 57 minutes, 44% of which is spent using

smartphones. • Over half of U.K commuters use Android devices with 54% Android vs 34% Apple • Commuters reach to their smartphones to 'get stuff done’: 59% check email, 46% surf the

web, 32% read news, and 30% do mobile banking.

"People spend almost half of their hour commute using their smartphones to either manage or enhance their daily lives, giving advertisers a full half hour window of opportunity to encourage brand engagement and interaction that is completely aligned with their activities 'in the moment' and in the appropriate context," observes adsquare CEO Tom Laband. "A holistic

approach, one that minimizes wastage and maximizes value by leveraging local context in combination with other data signals based on user behaviour, is essential to power programmatic advertising that delivers real results.”

The report also features a look at the recent partnership between adsquare and white label DSP LiquidM; an in-depth interview with La Place Media explaining the factors driving the programmatic advertising in France; and an exclusive case study with Germanwings that shows how the airlines has harnessed mobile audience targeting and interactive billboard to combine online and offline advertising in order to reach frequent flyers at key 'mobile moments' indicated by geodata and intent.
