 Mobile Advertising: Supercharge Your Brand in The Wireless Market July 17, 2008
This is an interesting book about the people who are looking for more detailed information about mobile advertising. Mobile advertising models were also deeply concerned and I strongly recommend the people who are related with the new challenges in advertising .
The book is also clear to understand and get focused therefore I strongly recommend for the people who are involving the digital advertising business.
A "must read" for mobile leaders June 16, 2008
This book is a must-read for all mobile marketers and folks who are in the mobile content space. The book is interesting, informative, well-organized and detailed. I really enjoyed the primer on the history of advertising and was amazed at the amount of up-to-date information that this book holds(facts, figures, quotes, trends, market analysis) along with practical insights and recommendations. The case-studies and the essays (by mobile executives) are very helpful and gives you a global perspective on mobile advertising - what has worked (or not-worked) and why? A must-read..

Excellent, thorough, comprehensive about advertising on cellphones May 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is exceptionally well researched and written, covering comprehensively the full spectrum of cellphone advertising, from the pioneer markets such as Finland and Sweden, to the backwards markets of mobile telecoms such as the USA to the cutting edge markets such as South Korea and Japan, to markets in developing countries such as India. The content is totally up-to-date, including the brand new mobile ads based UK wireless carrier Blyk. The authors have interviewed numerous industry thought-leaders for the book, include 16 case studies and even short essays by 13 executives from major players. The book is very well balanced covering the advertising and media angles as well as the cellphone side. It is also a robust and realistic treatment of the current state of the industry, not pulling punches, and admitting to lots of issues that need to be resolved. A thoroughly useful, practical and insightful book that I can recommend to anyone interested in advertising on cellphones.

Read the Book Before It's Too Late :) March 11, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
It's today's freshest (March 2008) book on Mobile Marketing. I am half through the book and I want to share my immediate impressions.
I like how the book is organized. The way the presentation unfolds enhances my reading experience - I am interested to be reminded about all existing marketing channels. Even if you are a teacher of marketing or an experienced marketing professional, it is still good to review - even if one has to battle the temptation to exclaim "I know this!" - the history of marketing. And what this history is teaching us, or at least is making clearer for me, is this: it is hard (the change is usually revolutionary!) but possible (it is just growing a lot!) to predict the next turn in development of marketing.
March 1, 2008 article at http://www.alleyinsider.com/ by Henry Blodget cites a poll of 1,979 adults surveyed online by http://www.zogby.com/. In this, claimed representative, sample of the US population:
* 48% said their primary source of news is the Internet (up 20% from only a year ago)
* 29% of Americans say their primary news source is TV
* 11% say it's radio
* 10% say it's newspapers
Whatever the statistics, here is a general trend: people, on average, spend more time on the Internet than with any other single media. Obviously, the ad budgets follow eyeballs of people (in 2007, the online portion of the total ad spend was estimated at 30%).
The shift of marketing to the Internet is truly revolutionary. Growth of the channel and its effectiveness are amazing. The speed is "7 percentage points of market share in a single year". Effectiveness is truly redefined - to paraphrase the famous quote of John Wanamaker, we now know which half of the advertising dollars is wasted. It became possible with the invention of online search advertising model that was introduced by Google. Ads became relevant and contextual; campaign planning became easier; campaign results fairer. What is even more important, in my view, is that marketing campaigns become measurable. Also note that the Internet combines all the features of the old media, to wit: video, audio, pictures, text. At the same time, there is something very new about this channel. It's also interactive.
Now think about this: in 2008 the Internet will be more frequently accessed on mobile phones than on PCs. In Japan and Korea, browsing is used by 90 percent of all cell phone users. There are 3 billion cell phone subscribers worldwide, three times the number of PC users, who stare on their phones at least daily. There are two times more people using SMS (TXT) than email.
What does it mean? It means that the potential is huge and that it has been building up for the last ten years, now reaching its tipping point. So what is awaiting us soon and how to capitalize on the opportunity?
Read! (I also have to finish the book!)
