12. A Multichannel Approach Is
Imperative to Mobile’s
Success

13. 5 Key Points for a Multichannel Approach:
1) Social Media, SMS, Mobile Advertising and QR codes complement each other, so
companies must identify what channels best drive user engagement.
2) Offering consumers relevant mobile experiences that are consistent across
consumer touch points and that are delivered in rich formats is expected
3) Mobile as the glue between traditional media and digital channels to drive broader
awareness, stronger engagement, and better ad conversion.
4) Consumer behavior is changing daily! Consumers now check out brand
competitors while they are in retail locations. (i.e “Showrooming”)
5) Consumers expect a seamless experience across all channels, particularly with
new, more powerful devices capable of more

14. To Plan a Holistic Mobile Strategy, Marketers Must:
1) Research to understand top target audiences and determine the best
engagement channels
2) Exercise “Mobile Readiness” – Mobilized assets, optimized sites,
snackable video, analog media integration, on-pack promotions
3) Define what success looks like and build in measurement routines to
evaluate which mobile channels realize the strongest ROI
4) Ensure that your multichannel strategy sustains brand value over time, even
if a specific campaign‟s timeline passes.
5) Optimize based off of performance and practice long-term planning

117. MOBILE CREATIVE
SHOULD BE RICH
Today’s mobile device experience is rich.
Mobile ad creative should therefore be rich.
Mobile audiences want and expect rich,
seamless usability that not only facilitates,
but enhances their experience.
…srsly?

118. CAMPAIGNS
WITHOUT GREAT
CREATIVE SUCK
Plain and simple...
There is no easier way to waste a media budget
than to run ineffective, sub-par creative.
1. Better creative gets better campaign results.
2. Better campaign results make budgets grow.
3. Growing budgets gets you raises and promotions.

119. BUT WHAT
IS GREAT
CREATIVE?
Great creative...
• is the end user interface of the campaign; it must be usable
• generates brand awareness
• communicates meaningful sales points
• supports the brand‟s business objectives
• invokes an emotional connection between audience and brand
• affects changes in audience consideration that lead to
marketplace action.

120. GREATE
CREATIVE IS
NO ACCIDENT
Pretty takes time.™
Creative teams must be armed with knowledge
and reasonable timelines.

121. MOBILE CREATIVE IS
STILL CHALLENGING
Specific challenges for creatives:
• Learning about new and fragmented ad formats, specs, and sizes
• Reporting capabilities and discrepancies
• Understanding of specific creative capabilities – what works well?
• Large variety of devices and screen sizes to grapple with
• Multiple Creative APIs to code for (MRAID, ORMMA, Proprietary SDKs,
Web)
• Lack of HTML5 production tools (Adobe Edge Animate recently released)
• Orientation-awareness in ad units (one ad, two layouts)
• New interaction methods to contemplate (shake, tilt, swipe, pinch, etc.)
• Most creatives still have little-to-no experience in mobile!
It all harkens back to the Flash plugin landscape in the 1990’s.

122. MOBILE HAS NEW AND
UNIQUE AD FORMATS
Similar to desktop, but with important nuances.
• Banners
• Tap to web, tap to call, tap to download app, tap to video, etc.
• Expandable banners
• Expandable Panel as a “growable” banner
• Expandable Panel as a separate “overlay”
• Interstitials
• Overlay interstitials
• Swipeable interstitials (between-page banners)
• Emerging formats such as responsive ad units
• One ad creative for multiple placements and screen sizes
(Windows 8)

123. FRAGMENTATION OF
CREATIVE APIs
Creative APIs are the JavaScript code inside
ad creative that makes an ad expand, dismiss
(and much more) in mobile apps.
• MRAID
• Maintained by the IAB
• Version 2.0 just released.
• This is the standard that pubs should be implementing in their apps.
• ORMMA
• Was maintained by a consortium of vendors and publishers
• Had early traction, but is now starting to wane in usage
• Proprietary SDKs
• Some vendors and publishers have (foolishly) paved their own road.
• Mobile Web
• Don‟t need to use any standard creative API.

124. MOBILE ADS ARE
BORN PREGNANT

126. BUT THINGS ARE
IMPROVING FAST
The industry is moving quickly to standardize
Many parties are working toward achieving creative
standardization:
•The IAB: MRAID 2.0 Creative API
•The MMA: Standardizing ad sizes and ad measurement
•Starting to enforce on-device impression counting
•Only count impression when ad is
visible for > 1-second
•Publishers: Seeing the wisdom of standardizing ad units
•The Big Four: Initiatives such as Vivaki’s Pool are jump
starting innovation
•Agencies: Media planners & creatives are getting more
mobile-savvy
•Vendors: Empowering and improving implementations

127. WHAT YOU
CAN DO
You can help to make mobile creative
be all that it can be.

128. START AT

129. DESIGN MEDIA PLANS
TO MINIMIZE OVERALL
CREATIVE LOE
Media planners!
Creative success begins with you!
1.Minimize the total number of unique ad sizes on the plan.
2.Minimize total creative APIs (MRAID, ORMMA, proprietary SDK, mobile
web?)
• Limit plans to placements that use only one or two unique Creative APIs.
3.Consider not just placement dimensions, but the specifics of placements.
• Dimensions of the expandable view?
• Orientation-aware ad (banner and/or expandable)?
• Swipeable ad?
• Will the placement accommodate a specific creative requirement?
4.Usually only mobile ad serving vendors will have this information.
• Work with a vendor that can help refine the media plan.

130. INFORM CREATIVES
ABOUT BRAND GOALS
Strategists!
Creative success begins with you!
Creatives should be given the basic information
about why the brand is running a given campaign.
When creatives have this information, they can
design better performing executions.

131. DEFINE HOW BRAND
GOALS WILL BE
MEASURED
Analysts!
Creative success begins with you!
Let the creatives know the metrics that define a successful outcome.
• Define and prioritize KPIs
• Strategists & Business Analysts should write the concise story that
they want to deliver to the brand client at the end of a campaign
before media planning and creative work even begins.
• Get the client to approve the narrative
• Share the narrative story with everyone, especially the creatives.

132. GATHER DETAILED
AD SPECS BEFORE
CREATIVE WORK
BEGINS
Publishers & Vendors!
Creative success begins with you!
Creatives need to fully understand the end user experience of ad placements to
create the most appropriate and best performing concepts.
• Orientation-aware ads? How do they work?
• Auto-expand? Auto-dismiss?
• Animation time limits?
• Swipe actions allowed?
• Creative APIs?
• What is the actual end user experience in all use cases?

137. BUT MOBILE AD SPEND
DOESN’T REFLECT

But brands need
to know that

will work for
them before

138. LEARN TO GROW
Learn is a verb. Do it.
Your mobile campaign is the lab.
Even if direct KPIs are somewhat vague, a story of success can be crafted.
1. Run A/B tests within creative 2. Run Brand Studies
• Call to action variations • Insight Express
• Design characteristics such as • Dynamic Logic
color, imagery, animation. • KN Dimestore
• Also helps to avoid creative • comScore
fatigue with visual and copy
variety
When brands have evidence that something works
better they’ll do more of what works in the future.

139. USE YOUR
VENDORS
Mobile vendors have a lot to offer,
and it is in their interests to do so.
Use your mobile vendors for:
• Benchmarks: to help justify a plan and results before and after a
campaigns
• Creative Services: to fill any gaps in creative knowledge or
resources, jump start the creative AOR, and sell-through a concept:
• Ideation
• Mockups
• Production
• Media Planning Assistance: to reach the right audience while
avoiding budget-busting fragmentation
Ask and you shall receive.
