Over a quarter of all mobile ad spend will be location-related in 2016

A new research report from Berg Insight has calculated that the total value of real-time mobile location-based advertising and marketing (LBA) will grow from €192 million in 2011 to €4.9 billion (£3.9 billion) in 2016. That’s a compound annual growth rate of 91%, with the 2016 figure corresponding to 28.3% of all mobile advertising and marketing.

This means location-based advertising and marketing will represent more than 4% of all digital advertising; around 1% of the total global ad spend across all media.

Rickard Andersson, Telecom Analyst at Berg Insight, said “The growing attach rates of location technologies in handsets and the increasing consumer acceptance of location-based services in general are the main game changers. Major brands are progressively embracing location-based advertising across the range of mobile formats, and LBA also opens up the mobile channel for new advertisers such as local merchants.”

The company notes that major digital and telecom players such as Google, Apple and Nokia are currently competing to gain market share alongside specialised location-based ad providers, mobile operators, location-based services, location-aware apps and media, mobile coupon providers, mobile search companies and proximity marketing providers.

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
