9. Conclusion However, all said and done, merely creating an app for presence or show won’t help brands beyond what gimmickry would help. Brands must also understand in what cases a mobile app would NOT make sense for their brand’s objectives. Audiences have millions of apps and content pieces to consume on their mobile phones. They will only be constant users of an app if a brand provides consistent benefits in using their app. The right channel for distribution and the right strategy for mobile engagement is what will make a brand app a true success. 10/13/2011
