Cristian Ignat (Canopy) @ #MobileAdvertisingCongress: Mobile advertising, the biggest challenge of the online marketers nowadays
Cristian Ignat, Chief Canopyst @ Canopy is one of the speakers at this year’s edition of the Romanian Mobile Advertising Congress, an event scheduled to take place in Bucharest on June 7th and organized by Marketing Insiders Group.
As the focus of the event is the area of mobile advertising, AdHugger sought to see speakers’ opinions on this sector.
AdHugger: What do you think about mobile advertising?
Cristian Ignat:
I dare to say that mobile advertising is the biggest challenge of the online marketers nowadays. People consume very much mobile, they have a personal relationship with this device, so, for a brand is a real challenge to find the right message and approach to attract the consumers, to interact and to make them buy or convert in general. For a smart marketer is an opportunity to differentiate your brand and messages from the ones of your competitors and to develop a strong relation with your target.
AdH: In your opinion, how did the mobile advertising influence, during the last few years, the industry you are active in?
Cristian Ignat:
Nowadays, the people use the mobile devices in places where they are not able to use desktop & laptops, so internet consumption is increasing with the help of mobile. And this is a great trend and growth opportunity for a business. For some of my clients I saw how the traffic from mobile grew from 15% to over 60%. As a marketer, you need to develop special strategies for the mobile devices, you have to allocate different budgets. You need to adapt your website for mobile, you have to find different approaches for advertising, to track them differently and so on.
AdH: How does mobile advertising influence your personally when using mobile devices?
Cristian Ignat:
I am a heavy user of the smartphone. Because advertising now is so targeted I receive ads highly relevant to me and I constantly recommend products using mobile. Also, I buy online a lot through my mobile.
