Notes de l'éditeur
- Base: 57499 US online adults; Source: North American Technographics Online Benchmark Survey (Part 1) Q2,2012 (US, Canada) - US DATA
- Survey respondents are more likely to spend between 1 and 5 million dollars total on mobile today, andbudgets are expected to increase for 60% of them (see figure A). That budget is being spent on a variety of tactics as well – within a year, almost all of the respondents will have mobile websites, email campaigns, and apps, and more than half will be using every tactic we asked about save mobile gaming.
- A third of respondents plan to hire more of each type of full-time employee, and a quarter plan to hire more contract employees in the next 6 months.
- Currently, respondents work with an average of three external agencies for mobile marketing, and a quarter of them use anywhere from 4 to 15-plus. And the agencies are just tasked with execution – the majority of companies are working with their traditional brand agency to help them incorporate mobile into their overall plans
- And we’re right back where we started. As we’ve seen, proving the ROI is the number one challenge both with mobile overall and with securing approval to increase mobile headcount. And the fifth greatest challenge with mobile overall is integration with other marketing channels— a responsibility that the majority of companies gives to a mobile-dedicated FTE. But companies can’t hire that mobile-dedicated FTE until they’ve proven the ROI. It’s a vicious cycle, and it’s one that isn’t helped by having those key agency relationships managed by employees whose focus is split between mobile and other responsibilities.
