Mobile Marketing Technology – a danger to marketing agencies?

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Mobile MarketingTechnology advances in the mobile marketing world are providing more and more advertisers with the tools they need to plan, deliver and manage their own mobile marketing campaigns.  The advances enable anyone with an idea to deliver highly personal, targeted and interactive engagement. But what are these technologies? What effect do they have on the role of the traditional agency and their clients, as the power of mobile marketing technology grows?  Is the traditional way of managing a marketing campaign to the outside world becoming extinct?

Adremixer is teaming up with GoMo News to answer these questions and find out where the technology, and the agency-client relationship, is headed as the mobile marketing ecosystem continues its rapid development in this space.

We’ll be interviewing key figures, producing surveys, and posting ideas and provocative discussions on GoMo News over the summer which will be included in a White Paper due for release in the Autumn.

If you are keen to get involved and want to have your say, or even sponsor the White Paper, please contact niamhowens@yahoo.com

Ad networks: emancipate your clients data!

Admob confirms API on twitterEvery ad network should offer an API for advertisers to directly access to their ad performance data.

Contrary to what some of the ad networks state in their terms and conditions, the performance data really belongs to the advertiser, with the ad networks responsible for safeguarding and respecting the privacy of that data. Does AdMob (GoogMob?) own, and have the right to publish and share, the adspend and clickthrough data of Nike? Of course not. It just has the right to use it in aggregate to track and develop insights into industry trends and improve their service.

Advertisers want their data, and they don’t want to go through all those different reporting interfaces (some are ok, some are downright appalling) to get it. So it is great news to see AdMob, the innovation leader in this space, confirming in a public tweet that they are definitely working on such an API.

Almost every advertiser uses multiple ad networks to deliver their ad campaigns. And the ones that they will choose will recognise that the data belongs first and foremost to the advertiser and give them access to it however and whenever they want.
