– 1 out of every 7 minutes of media consumption today (from traditional media) takes place via mobile devices; huge potential impact on our growing film industry

– Consumer use of the Internet via mobile phone has increased over 1200% in the last few years

– B2B mobile marketing to grow from $26 million in 2009 to $106 million in 2014– By 2015, more than 50% of mobile users will participate in mobile banking– 97% of consumers read text messages within 15 minutes of receipt, and respond to them

within 1 hour; consumers are embracing mobile, therefore it will drive business– Average response rate to a mobile offer is between 12 – 15%; though many firms are

seeing response rates exceeding 60% - it’s helping businesses grow

Mobile Industry Impact on Michigan

Current Situation

• Mobile Use in Michigan– Michigan currently has 7.6 million wireless subscribers (vs. 292.8 M in the U.S.)– Wireless penetration in the state is 76% (vs. 93% in the U.S.)– Wireless-only households in the state are 17.4% (vs. 24.5% in the U.S.)

• Mobile and the Economy– 47,313 wireless / mobile-related jobs within the State of Michigan at 2,331

establishments (Michigan Economic Development Corporation)

– Average compensation for a job in the industry, over $63,000 (Michigan Economic Development Corporation)

– 4,350 of the existing industry jobs in the state are working directly for the major wireless carriers, and those jobs alone result in annual earnings of $265,632M (WirelessAdvisor.com)


Intro to MTAM

The mobile / wireless industry has a very high jobs multiplier factor of 3.9; this multiplier is one of very few comparable to the manufacturing industry.

This means:1 mobile job created = 3.9 additional jobs

• Our Growth Projections– 9,250 new mobile / wireless industry jobs in Michigan by 2015– Resulting in over 35,000 non-mobile-industry jobs in the state, and over $1.7 billion in

resident earnings– We will increase market penetration to the equivalent of that in the U.S., 93% and higher as

the industry grows
