Waze Maps Out Native Ad Platform | Adweek - 2 views

  •  
    "Like seemingly every startup currently exploring an ad-supported business model, Waze has gone native for its ad platform. Typically startups wade into advertising by working directly with brands then erecting a self-serve platform down the road. Waze sped things up. The company began testing ads in its U.S. app over the summer, working directly with Zipcar, Best Buy and a number of fuel brands and convenience store chains; at launch it has added Procter & Gamble, Dunkin' Donuts, Wyndham Hotels, Whole Foods, Jamba Juice, CircleK and Kum & Go to its advertiser roster. The direct sales channel continues, but Waze has also set up a self-serve platform for its most basic ad units. The self-serve platform operates on an auction model with floor prices set at $1 per thousand impressions. In addition to a branded search result, marketers can pay to plot branded pins at their locations on the Waze map. When users click on these branded pins, they can click a link to the company's website, a number to call the location or-borrowing the idea of drive-to advertising popularized by driving navigation company Telenav-a button that would navigate them to the location."

Apple's Passbook Problem | Adweek - 0 views

  •  
    ""I really think there is a need here. Simplicity, efficiency and fun," he said. "There is a lot of power in being able to push coupons, updates to loyalty cards, tickets and payment options right to the lock screen of a consumer's device. Geo-locating passes is an incredibly powerful feature of the Passbook platform. Nothing could be simpler than shopping at a mall and automatically seeing the passes that are relevant to what's around me: 'Oh yeah, I forgot I had that 15 percent off coupon at Bose. I might as well stop in.' " That's exactly the sort of practical perk that Passbook's early adopting brands seem to love. Online movie ticket service Fandango was a Passbook launch partner, and the company president tells Adweek that the brand's iPhone app downloads skyrocketed with the debut of Passbook. While mobile tickets were already available through the Fandango app for select theaters, Passbook simply made them easier for customers to use. When you arrive at the theater before the movie, your mobile ticket pops up on your iPhone lock screen. Swipe the icon to open the ticket in Passbook (without even having to unlock your phone), and you're good to go."

Shopping Site Fab.com Courts Mobile Customers | ClickZ - 0 views

  •  
    Since launching its mobile apps in October, mobile accounts for 25 percent of Fab orders on a daily basis. What's more, iPhone members purchase at twice the rate of web members and iPad members purchase at more than four times the rate of web members, Goldberg writes. In November 2011, nearly half of Fab's traffic came via its daily emails to members. However, in January 2012, direct visits overtook email-driven visits. Goldberg attributes the rise in direct traffic to: mobile visits; an increase in direct visits from members who don't want to wait around for the daily Fab emails that come out each day at 11 a.m. ET; and a tipping point in general awareness after Fab reached 2 million members.

Obama speech sets 'record political moment' on Twitter - 0 views

  •  
    "President Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention fueled a outpouring of tweets, spiking at 52,757 tweets per minute. Twitter called it a "record political moment," adding that Obama's next two biggest spikes (43,646 and 39,002) surpassed Romney's peak at 14,239. In all, 9 million tweets about the DNC this week were sent by the conclusion of the president's speech. Of course, volume isn't everything. Obama's score on Twitter's political index rose just 2 points when we checked it after the speech. Politico reported that it dropped 4 points. And for a bit of context, the VMA's on MTV - which aired Thursday night against the DNC - attracted a record 7.9 million tweets, well above the network's record of 5.5 million from the year before."

The Revolution Won't Be Televised; It Will Be Instagrammed | Steve Rubel - Advertising Age - 0 views

  •  
    Smartphones are on a fast track to become the primary device for both creating and consuming digital content. According to the Pew Internet for the American Life Project, already a full 31% of Americans who own internet-capable phones browse the web primarily from their phones. These numbers are actually higher in emerging markets. What's more, there are at least three other factors at work here. First, images are global. They eschew all language and cultural boundaries. Photography is the only true universal medium. Nothing comes close. Second, images are distributable. The bandwidth required to transmit photos is minimal, yet the opportunities for quick, creative expression are plentiful. As of this writing, Apple's App Store alone has over 10,000 iPhone apps in its photo category -- many of them for editing. Photoshopping has been democratized. Finally, images are digestible. You can glance at a picture for as short or as long as you want. Photos are a non-linear, shared consumption experience. The same can't be said for video or even text.

MediaPost Publications Tablets, Smartphones Drive Engagement, Ad Response 07/17/2012 - 0 views

  •  
    The vast majority that clicked on ads was likely to take some action, including receiving a coupon (51%), research a product (49%) or making a purchase (46%). After coupons, ads featuring specific product searching, favorite brands, and location information were most likely to entice smartphone users to interact with them. When it comes to mobile platforms, the study found iOS users trumped Android device owners in ad responsiveness. People using iPhones and iPads were more likely to make a purchase than Android-based users. The findings, presented Monday at the IAB's Mobile Marketplace conference, were based on a survey conducted by ABI Research of 552 U.S. adults who use a smartphone with data service at least once a week, and 563 corresponding tablet users. The sample was split evenly by gender and covered those18 to 65+. The study also emphasized that mobile no longer means merely "on-the-go," with virtually all tablet and smartphone owners using their devices at home-the most common place for mobile activity. Tablets are viewed mainly as media consumption devices;  smartphones are considered "mission-critical" tools that 70% won't leave home without.

Innovative 'real time' ads have Olympic viewers abuzz - latimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    "Not surprisingly, social media are a major force behind the trend, as advertisers seek creative ways to engage with consumers  and harness the energy surrounding major televised events, like this year's Olympics.  The real-time ads arrive at a time when social media are playing a newly prominent role in the Games. In 2008, Twitter was still in its infancy; now virtually every high-profile American athlete has an active account on the microblogging site, and by the time they're over, the Games of the XXX Olympiad are expected to have become the most tweeted-about event in history. In order for advertisers to stay timely and relevant, "our content needs to move at the speed of social media," says Kevin Burke, head of global consumer marketing at Visa."

    The glasses are designed primarily for those kinds of scenarios: research projects, testing rooms and simulators - where the thing being looked at isn't just a computer or tablet screen, which would be better served by non-wearable eye tracking like Tobii's EyeX.

Target Running Private Ad Marketplace | Adweek - 1 views

  •  
    "Target's private marketplace operates similarly to others that retailers like Best Buy and Amazon have developed recently. For example, a user may visit Target.com and check out its high-def TVs. As that user navigates to other parts of Target's site, a brand like Sony or Samsung could run ads aimed at that user promoting their TVs-provided they are sold by Target. But the ads don't have to pertain so closely to a specific product category. Adweek encountered a Subaru ad running on Target's DVD and Blu-ray players page; a peek at the page's site code revealed that the ad was sourced through PubMatic."

Nielsen: Foursquare Has 10.4M Monthly Users | Adweek - 0 views

  •  
    "At any rAte, the 10.4 million figure seems to be At least marginally good news for Foursquare, which, according to one investor capital source, is having to work harder for funding these days than in years past. ComScore earlier this year reported Foursquare drew just between 5 million and 6 million users monthly from March to June.  The Nielsen number is likely informAtive for brands still in the considerAtion stage about cultivAting their Foursquare presence through organic feAtures on the app or via the plAtform's nascent ads offering. Whether or not it's a good number for three-and-a-half-year-old Foursquare is probably a mAtter of opinion. And it's worth noting thAt Nielsen ranks the geo-social company only behind Facebook (78 million) and Twitter (23 million) in terms of July mobile app users. Overall, Foursquare usage, per Nielsen, was up 118 percent during the month year-over-year."

YouTube Pushes Holiday Sales Into Shoppable Video Ads | ClickZ - 0 views

  •  
    ""With YouTube external annotations, we're trying to make it a very seamless process," said Lisa Green, industry director at Google. "If while you're watching it, you see something you really want, you can click... We've allowed the user to make the decision to make the purchase" in the video. The beta feature is available to all existing clients, although Google won't disclose how many advertisers have shown interest or signed up thus far. Juicy Couture, one of the first brands to adopt the shoppable feature, released a new video directed by Terry Richardson featuring Candice Swanepoel at the famed Chateau Marmont hotel. The fashion label features nineteen different products in the second video. YouTube's shoppable video ads will display a shaded rectangle in the middle of the screen whenever a product appears. When a user rolls over that embedded video link, the product name is displayed with a link to the purchase page. Google's product and sales teams are working with advertisers to bring these new ads into their videos on YouTube, Green said."

Disney shows off its first toys with augmented reality | The Verge - 2 views

  •  
    "According to their writeup, Disney has partnered with a company called Jaxx to create a line of toys that can be recognized by phone or tablet apps, then trigger animations based on Disney's movies or other properties. In the example seen by Reuters, pointing an iPad camera at a set of Little Mermaid-branded bongo drums will cause the crab Sebastian to come on-screen and perform a song by "playing" them. Specific animations could also be used to sell the products in stores, like an animated Tinkerbell who flies out of her box when shoppers look at her with a smartphone camera."
