Mobile in 2016?

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Absolutely 100% true – but also a real problem. Assumption is that if we have invested in some other digital channel then we can trivially have a matching mobile app or service. Also some assume that the same use cases are both relevant and practical
  • #4 A classic example of simply rolling up a (bad) website into an app. Remember – points make pints!
  • #5 A classic example of simply rolling up a (bad) website into an app. Remember – points make pints!
  • #6 A classic example of simply rolling up a (bad) website into an app. Remember – points make pints!
  • #9 Typical image of someone using their smartphone Context of use: *mobile*, couch, desk – not about the device per se e.g. coffee chain app – on mobile all about finding branch near me now and loyalty/coupons – at home more about aspiration/marketing or find a branch elsewhere e.g. putting CC details into bus app while standing on the pavement Look at you phone – what does it mean to you? Personal and contextual bridge into the digital world in hand 24/7 More sensitive to interruption and privacy etc than desktop
  • #10 Typical image of someone using their smartphone Context of use: *mobile*, couch, desk – not about the device per se e.g. coffee chain app – on mobile all about finding branch near me now and loyalty/coupons – at home more about aspiration/marketing or find a branch elsewhere e.g. putting CC details into bus app while standing on the pavement Look at you phone – what does it mean to you?

  • #11 Mobile costs real money and can be complicated so can lead to bill shock when it goes wrong e.g. crazy frog, e.g. roaming charges It is all about confidence – it is a very personal device!
