- NO CLONINGHaving all your content, available by all channels, provides the user with no incentive to partake of the entire experienceDon’t be afraid of channel exclusivity, even if it’s in terms of timingMobile users, thanks to networks (Twitter), are used to faster/slower content access on certain devices – don’t necessarily need to worry about breaking news not being available on all platforms simultaneouslyUse it as the opportunity to be timely, yet provide depth of content via the properties where it makes senseWhat am I really talking about?...

Not easily shared.2) Current: Navigating users across consumption devices based on depth & audienceCan be contextual & targetedDevice-based content rendering – better overall user experience = more retention/content consumption/engagementSocially connected3) Holistic delivery across multiple devicesMobile as integrated delivery channel within overall communications strategyChallenges traditional concept of brand discovery - how does that experience complement/augment the overall strategyMy fave example of #3…

- Yesterday’s numbers from eMarketer, on integration of Mobile & Social within overall campaignsStill over 1/3 are not speaking to one another – lost opportunity to push to other channels & have them reinforce othersOne way to address that is to look at Hyperlocal content…
- All about Relevance & localizationb/c lots of existing content, bound to be something that matches your value propMany of these have built-in social optionsMay require new ways to think of content strategy (i.e. partnerships)Not just apps, also available via SMS (geofenced ads)Users used to free access to content, so once you’ve built your solution, great way to provide increased relevance for users & generate revenue…
