MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC–(Marketwire – Oct. 3, 2012) – Mediative, Canada’s digital marketing company, enhances its location-based offering with the launch of a flexible mobile advertising network allowing for agile deliveries with multiple formats against RON, ROC, ROS ad buys. Through the reach of its deep and broad ad network, Mediative is able to provide flexible targeting opportunities: enabling advertisers to finally reach mobile consumers based on their intent to buy.
The power of mobile marketing is in the shift advertisers must make from broad marketing messages to consider the consumer’s dynamic state of mind. Mediative’s research-on location, interest and intention of the individual-fuels its new mobile advertising network and provides a precise reach to consumers by speaking to their current and hyper-local needs.
With 20 million Canadians using smartphones and 72% relying on their devices for browsing and apps, Mediative sees a large number of consumers ready to be reached by location-based mobile advertising. This makes smartphones a constant companion for the Canadian consumer and prime focus of 5 million consumer eyeballs.1
Mediative also discovered that movement sets a clear distinction between mobile and desktop, and urges advertisers to consider the following three insights:
- Location matters: Consumer intent varies whether a consumer is at work, relaxing or on the go.
- Environment matters: External factors such as weather or traffic influence how consumers feel and, accordingly, what they want/need now.
- Time matters: Motivation varies at different times in the day and for different consumers. Why promote your offering at times when the consumer is least open to it?
On average in Canada, mobile banners deliver an average 0.5% CTR1. By targeting on location + environment + time variables, Mediative was able to demonstrate CTRs over 1.0%2!
