APPS PRESENT AN INNOVATIVENEW MARKETING/COMMUNICATION CHANNEL
You've invited the brand into your life and onto your phone. If it's an informational app, you're inviting that brand even deeper in, because now you're thinking about what's in your life and
apply it to the things that the apps are presenting you with. With the experiential app, things are still kept at a distance -- you're still experiencing it on your phone and not in your life.
