Dan Virtopeanu, Managing Partner at Breeze Mobile, 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?

Dan Virtopeanu

1. The money invested is far away from the time spent by people on the mobile screen.

2. Provides unique opportunities that no other media can deliver: real time precise geolocation, augmented reality environment, any time and any place availability

3. This year we saw a significant shift from desktop to mobile on media spent on Google, following Facebook lead in mobile advertising revenues compared to desktop.

AdH: In your opinion, how did the mobile advertising influence, during the last few years, the industry you are active in?

Digital is led by mobile in terms of usage and those who invested few years now are collecting the benefits. Best example is Facebook where 4 of 5 dollars earned are on mobile.

AdH: How does mobile advertising influence your personally when using mobile devices?

Dan Virtopeanu:

I’m always interested to see what are the ads running in apps and the sites I’m visiting. Also I’m looking close to the way brands are using push notifications. There are also the negative experiences when bad managed push notifications or mobile ads force me to stop visiting the site or stop the notifications.
