A Wireless World

By Hisham Isa, Vice President (Marketing)

If mobile is not already an integral part of your marketing mix, it should be. Plain and simple.
 
But as you're planning your Christmas campaigns and looking towards 2013, think about this:

• There are more than 6 billion mobile subscriptions worldwide.

• No, not every one on this planet has a mobile handset yet. But we're getting close. Forrester Research estimates that 4.3 billion people own at least one handset. That's 3 out of every 5 people on the planet.

• BuzzCity is on track to deliver twice as many mobile banners in 2012 as we did in 2011. Last year's figure: 126 billion. First nine months of this year: nearly 152 billion. More people are surfing the mobile internet and they're spending more time on it.
