Chat Apps: New Frontiers of Mobile Audience Engagement

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Whatsapp = 600m active users Wechat = 440m active users Viber = 100m active users
  2. How did we pick these? Combined 3 things: where BBC is big + where there is a big story + which chat app is the biggest there
  3. Our presense on chat platforms is making us think a lot more about what sort of content would work really well - often content we’ve never created before but are starting to now.
