Data aids in geo-targeting mobile consumers
A new report from The Media Audit taps into the mobile media sphere to find out how mobile advertisers can best reach consumers both demographically and geographically. According to the report, more than half of U.S. consumers surveyed nationally now access the Internet on a weekly basis via a mobile device such as smart phone or tablet. The figure represents more than 74 million consumers across The Media Audit's 81 measured markets. With the rapidly growing number of mobile internet users, the demand among advertisers is reaching new heights, causing advertising costs to correspondingly rise dramatically. It is estimated that more than $725 million was spent by advertisers in local mobile display advertising in 2013, a figure that is expected to triple in the next four years.
