The main ways used by brands to interact with Romanian smartphone users were banners on mobile websites (80%), ads in search results (75%), emails with commercial messages adapted for (75%), ads within apps (74%) and ads within videos (73%).

Romanians are dependent on their smartphones, so they get to use them also while doing other activities. For example, over 60% Romanians are using their smartphones when watching TV. In present, companies’ challenge is to understand where, when and how smartphones are used in order to communicate efficiently with their existent or potential clients
