Orange launches its own campaign-planning tool for mobile marketing

OrangeOrange has launched a new service to help companies make the best use of mobile media in marketing campaigns. The Orange Mobile Targeting Monitor, which uses independent 'Mobile Exposure' research from TNS, is available in the UK, France, Spain and Poland. Conducting simultaneous research across all four markets has enabled Orange to offer direct comparisons for multi-market campaigns.

Orange Mobile Exposure revealed that:
More than three-quarters of mobile media users in Europe think it's important that the sites they access on their mobiles are brands they know and trust,
Coupons and alerts for promotions are the most popular advertising formats in Europe,
UK mobile media users prefer to access the mobile internet using a browser rather than an app (70% versus 55%).

It's worth noting that the research favours iPhone users; almost a third of UK respondents (and a quarter of all the people surveyed in Europe) had an iPhone. The research itself shows that 61% of 'mobile media' users own a smartphone, with 19% owning an iPhone.

Paul Francois Fournier, Executive Vice President of Orange's Online and Advertising Business, said "At Orange we are continually finding new ways to link brands, advertisers and their audiences in the best way, whilst delivering a great customer experience.  By working together with our advertising clients and giving them an unequalled level of mobile intelligence, Orange can help brands use the right kind of  media and more effectively target audiences in a way that also brings benefits to mobile consumers. Combined with our deep customer knowledge, expertise in mobile and our experience as both a publisher and a leading advertising network – we believe Orange has created an invaluable service that can help advertisers best use mobile in their advertising media mix and let brands target relevant audiences that use or make purchases via mobile. For Orange, this truly demonstrates how our local customer understanding can create global value for advertisers."

Hotel phone charges demonstrate the value of packing your mobile

Mark Bridge writes:

I like hotels. Free biscuits in your room and all the portions of UHT milk you can drink. But the phone calls... that's a different story.

Dearie me, you're paying for that hospitality tray when you pick up the phone.

Charlie Chaplin, a mobile phone and a time-travel mystery

Mark Bridge writes:

A Charlie Chaplin DVD includes an image of a woman using a mobile phone in 1928.

That’s the suggestion surrounding a YouTube clip that’s currently received more than 2½ million hits since it was posted online last week.

Why the Sat-Nav Application Model is Broken

James Rosewell writes:

Most Sat-Nav applications are now obtained via the Application Store used on the mobile phone. Navigon have gone so far as to remove access to their application via any other route. Application Stores are now the only choice. This move to a platform-specific sales model is a massive mistake.

Come on, Steve Jobs – why don't you attack a few more mobile companies?

Mark Bridge writes:

Mark Zuckerberg's girlfriend breaks up with him acrimoniously. So off he goes and creates Facebook. Yes, there's nothing like an insult to fire up the creativity. Well, that's certainly what the plot of The Social Network would like you to think.

And, you know, it's got a point. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that sticking two fingers up at the opposition seems to be the new way of doing business.

The positive cult of giffgaff

Mark Bridge writes:

Wouldn't it be great if mobile customers loved their networks so much that they'd fight for them?  Ofcom would be inundated with complaints from O2 users about its decision not to allow GSM frequencies to be used for 3G services. Vodafone customers would demand that Nokia pre-loaded the N8 with a Vodafone 360 application. Orange users would be sending petitions to radio stations, asking them to implement HD Voice on phone-ins. And giffgaff users would take to online forums to defend the service they receive.

Oh, hang on. That last one's already happening.
