3. “Mobile has changed the customer
engagement game. Its role differs at
each stage in the buyer’s journey.
Marketers will evolve from responsive
design lead generation emails and
branded apps to using various mobile
features like SMS to establish more
persistent relationships across the full
relationship lifecycle.”

4. In 2015, advertisers and publishers will increasingly
turn to mobile programmatic advertising to meet their
user acquisition and mobile monetization needs.
In fact, advertiser spend on mobile programmatic will
grow significantly in 2015, reaching an estimated
$8.4 billion, from an estimated $4.4 billion in 2014."

5. "In 2015, more advertisers will realize that the
effectiveness of “mobile marketing” cannot be
measured standalone, as if it’s a channel.
Understanding how today’s interconnected customer
interacts with brands across channels, across devices,
and in the physical world is a complicated business.
I expect this to drive innovation in analytics."

6. "In 2015, B2B marketers will double down on their
mobile strategy. As their potential buyers shift from
researching on their desktop to their mobile devices,
it’s going to be vital that B2B content and lead forms
are optimized for mobile with a seamless experience
across all three screens (desktop, tablet, phone)."

7. "The days of seeing mobile as an interesting
experiment next to the traditional web experience
are over and an integrated marketing approach to
communication, conversion, and engagement across
all platforms will drive future business growth."

“In 2015 marketers will realize that
"mobile" is not just a small form factor,
but the primary communication vehicle
between a company and its customers.
It will be a year of opportunity for
marketers to re-imagine their digital
marketing programs to deliver unique
experiences that weren't possible before.”

9. "2015 will be the year that pay-per-call marketing
goes mainstream, as more marketers begin
to realize that phone calls are a way to quickly
impact the bottom line and create a better

customer experience."
Todd Dunlop

10. "Mobile is the mechanism that makes
modern marketers realize that they
need to reach people where they are –
which might not be on your own
website. So rather than spending time
and energy driving engagement and
action where *we* want it to take
place, we instead embrace the reality
that we need to go where our
customers are."
Ann Handley

11. “In 2015 marketers will start embracing cross-device
retargeting. We'll be able to retarget on any screen
based on previous mobile activity - mobile visits, app
usage and searches. We’ll also see proximity remarketing
emerge - iBeacons will capture real world activity and
marketing tools will target consumers based on
real-world places they’ve been. Exciting stuff!”

12. “The main obstacle for mobile advertising growth
is not only the lack of mobile sites and landing
pages, but also the lack of proper mobile website
strategies, including A/B and multivariate
testing plans. That's the theme for 2015.”

13. "Mobile technology has changed
the rules of engagement. Next year,
marketers will start seriously taking
advantage of multi-screen,
multichannel connectivity. They’ll
get over their digital tunnel vision
and start creating - and measuring -
customer experiences that take place
both online and offline."

14. “As we see consumers increase their use of mobile
devices in the buying process; next year advertisers
will need to strive to understand the importance of
their customer behavior across multiple devices and
channels while evolving their campaigns to boost
reach, cut waste and increase conversions with the
most optimal marketing spend.”

15. "We are in the midst of an app
revolution. Customers can easily
compare products and services online
for price and quality from any device.
Moving into next year, it will be more
important than ever for marketers to
differentiate themselves by creating
an unequaled customer experience."

16. "Content personalization will be the coming trend
in 2015, especially for the mobile device. Data will
flow more freely as marketing and technology
business units become more involved with each other.
This will bring a new era of personalization and
behavior-based content that will drive increased
revenue and engagement."

17. "The average mobile user checks a device more
than 150 times a day, creating a massive reach
opportunity and an equally enormous challenge.
In 2015, increased acknowledgment of the
limitations of cookie-based technology will
amplify the importance of linking all visitor
interactions across an individual’s devices."

18. "This year, time spent in mobile apps surpassed time
spent on desktops. Sessions that used to start with
web searches are now starting directly within apps.
Thus, marketers will need to embrace new mobile
native ad networks and ad formats (e.g. Facebook
Atlas) in order to get their marketing messages to
where people are actually spending their online time."

"Several studies have shown that brands are still
failing to deliver optimized mobile experiences to
consumers. In 2015, more brands will finally realize
they can't keep losing sales to competitors and
continue hurting their brand with bad mobile
user experiences.”
Danny Goodwin
Managing Editor at Linkdex

20. "With mobile search expected to continue its meteoric
rise, 2015 will be the year that marketers look beyond
the click and begin to incorporate calls into their paid
search strategy. Getting a clear picture of mobile ROI
– online and offline – will be critical for determining
the success of these efforts."

21. "Unfortunately, I expect B2B marketers will remain
far behind their B2C counterparts in actively
leveraging mobile to drive attention, engagement

and conversion among their prospects.
Let’s change that!"
Matt Heinz
President, Heinz Marketing Inc.

22. "Nearly 60 percent of B2Bcompanies
have some experience with mobile
marketing. However, the benefits are
frequently limited, since mobile
marketing tactics are usually not
integrated into all marketing
programs. In 2015, we expect the
laggards to move beyond the pilot
or "mobile veneer" stage of their
mobile efforts to develop a consistent
long-term strategy."
