“Mobile marketing [is] the most
underrated technology right now… People
are spending hours on their devices [with]
all this cool data and content and we’re not
part of the conversation… There hasn’t
been this kind of moment in modern
marketing since TV in the 1950s. We
haven’t seen such a quick flip of media
consumption like that, and we as
marketers haven’t caught up. The smart
companies, like General Mills, are going to
application people and making it work.”!
