Looking over the prow at the first quarter of 2014, it’s an excellent time to take stock of the year that was for the digital industry. When it came to all things data and analytics, 2013 saw a huge shift in public perception of what data privacy means as the Snowden revelations threw personal security and the governmental manipulation of data into the spotlight.

AI and Marketing: Robot-proofing Your JobCall Sumo
Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides marketers with deep knowledge of consumer, clients and delivers the right message to the right person at the right time. Here are more depth information how AC affects on Marketing.
In 2013, email marketers will focus on optimizing the first impression of emails across channels as email viewing shifts to mobile devices. Mobile rendering and responsive design will be important to ensure emails display properly on small screens. Inbox organizers, which automatically sort and display emails, will also impact how subscribers view emails. Marketers will need to adapt email design and content to these changing consumption patterns to maximize open and read rates.
The MMA and its MATT initiative have been working for over 2 years to better understand multi-touch attribution (MTA) and how to help marketers improve measurement and attribution of marketing campaigns. MATT conducted several studies measuring real campaigns and found that optimizing campaigns by including mobile often increased key metrics like sales by over 10%. MATT also found that targeting and personalizing mobile campaigns could further increase metrics by hundreds of percent. However, MTA is complex with many possible format, data, and targeting combinations to test. MATT aims to provide guidance to help marketers choose the right MTA providers and solutions.
The year 2021 will signal a turning point in marketing. Traditional marketing methods have already left a sour taste in the mouths of businesses. The pandemic has already wiped out traditional marketing and caused a substantial shift in consumer behaviour.The marketing seismic shift has already begun, almost like the emergence of a new age.
Brands are increasingly understanding digital and analyzing data to provide customized solutions for consumers. In 2016, wearable technologies and virtual reality will play a larger role in marketing budgets. The adoption of 4.5G infrastructure in Turkey will enable new technologies like smart homes and enable live video streaming on mobile devices. There will be a greater focus on creating user-oriented content and enhancing the consumer experience on small screens to build long-term sustainability.
The document discusses how artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in the retail industry to address challenges posed by a fragmented marketplace with diverse consumer needs. AI allows retailers to gather customer insights and predict behaviors through automated analysis of large datasets. Key applications of AI discussed include personalized marketing, trade promotions management, supply chain management, assortment planning, and demand forecasting. The use of AI is expected to grow significantly in the retail industry in coming years to improve business performance and customer experience.
This document provides an overview of programmatic media and its relationship to mobile advertising. It defines programmatic media as the automated buying and selling of digital ad space through platforms. Programmatic allows for high audience segmentation, real-time campaign monitoring, and more agility. While technology enables programmatic, human strategy and decision making are still needed. The majority of US media buyers plan to increase their programmatic spending as more than two-thirds of US digital ads are expected to be bought programmatically in 2016. Mobile programmatic spending is growing rapidly and is projected to receive $15.5 billion in the US in 2016, driving the rapid adoption of programmatic media.
The document discusses major digital trends predicted for 2015, according to consultants. These include:
- Omni-channel communication, with marketing happening across all channels from one central location.
- Intelligent automation of marketing efforts through triggers, follow-ups, and personalization.
- Increased use of semantic web technologies and semantic search enabling new ways of searching and understanding user intent.
- Growing use of mobile devices for eLearning through more digestible on-the-go content.
- Data visualization and its importance in interpreting the growing volume of available data.
- Electronic payments shifting to use of mobile wallets and near field communication technology.
The world is ever-changing, and technology is taking the lead. Today, everything goes digital - amusement, health, property, banking and even currencies. This is, however, comprehensible. In North America alone, eighty nine of the population is on-line (subscription required).
The document discusses emerging trends in marketing automation in 2011, including:
1) The emergence of Revenue Performance Management (RPM), which allows marketing to track ROI and quantify their impact on revenue. New tools from Marketo and Eloqua focus on RPM.
2) Data management and finding the right talent will be critical challenges for optimization. Integration of new channels and understanding the technology will also be important.
3) A shared focus on revenue generation between sales and marketing through new analytics tools may drive further adoption of automation in 2011. The changing B2B buyer is also driving a new sales and marketing alignment paradigm with a joint focus on revenue.

This document discusses the rise of e-commerce and marketplaces in Latin America and their potential for advertising. It notes that while e-commerce penetration is lower in Latin America compared to other regions, it is growing rapidly and expected to double in size within five years. Marketplaces provide access to large audiences with a purchasing mindset and are winning a growing share of digital ad spending. The document argues that while marketplaces were initially seen as only performance marketing channels, they can also serve as effective branding tools by helping brands discover and influence customers earlier in their purchasing journeys. It provides several examples and insights into customer behavior that marketplaces can uncover to help brands optimize for discovery, consideration, and purchase.

fter 2018, the relations between brands and their consumers will
not be the same. In a rising speed, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will
impact, each time more strategically, its applications in sales,
CRM and marketing.
“This will be the year when AI will become ubiquitous”, says Stephen
Upstone, CEO and Loop Meco-founder. Created in London in 2012, the
Ad Tech company uses AI and Big Data to optimize ad investments for
some of the top global brands. “Its true value lies not in shiny solutions,
but in the engines working in the background, processing data and
making decisions, in real time. They have a solid and measurable impact
to reach a specific goal”, says Upstone.
2. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLIED
TO MOBILE MARKETING

“This will be the year

Stephen Upstone, CEO at co-founder at Loop Me

6. 6MOBILE TRENDS 2018
Amidst the main benefits from the adoption of AI, he mentions a more
cohesive feedback between consumer and brand, implementing
adequate attribution models, ensuring that marketing has been
reaching the established goals and providing in-depth data-based
insights. Advanced Machine Learning techniques are being developed,
enabling systems to analyze big chunks of data and group similar ones,
something that opens room for learning even when data is scarce.
One of the areas already in sheer disruption is customer service, with
the proliferation of chatbots. But AI can do much more than this, says
Upstone. “Companies like Teléfonica are analyzing voice patterns to
understand whether the customer wants to be immediately connected
to a call center operative or whether it is possible to follow through with
the automated service”, he says.
Mobile will play a central role, for the simple fact that it is the easier way
to get customer feedback. Chatbots make both life and data collection
simpler, but the combination of mobile data and AI also allow for a
“silent” feedback collection: did the campaign help create an action,
such as the user’s visit to a store, or was it completely ignored?
“Analyzing location data and online behavior, brands can know the
passive responses to their messages”, says the leader at LoopMe, which
reaches 2 billion customers in mobile devices and processes more than
a trillion data every day. Its AI technology usually improves clients’ results
in over 100%, when compared to manual optimization methods.

7. 7MOBILE TRENDS 2018
In 2017, the company launched a multi-touch attribution solution using
mobile data, to bring digital advertising closer to really important metrics,
such as brand awareness, purchase intent, number of visits to brick-
and-mortar stores and offline sales. When synching one of the last two
metrics, it is possible to prove attribution. Here comes AI, implementing
this information and optimizing actions that deliver higher ROI, in an
instantaneous, automated way.
“Artificial Intelligence can transform any business. Even smaller
companies deal with a great volume of data, without being able to
process or understand them or even make well-guided decisions”, says
Upstone. “Imagine a cereal bar created for gym-goers. Going through
advertising, marketing and sales, it becomes clear that the product is
being bought by parents to serve as a healthy breakfast snack when
they are on the move. This information opens room for changing the
marketing strategy, making it broader, or even for creating a side
product, more popular for the target audience”, he adds. •

C
rypto currency, bitcoin leading the pack, was one of the
hot topics last year. However, the technology necessary to
authenticate and audit financial online transactions should lead
the discussion from now on.
Blockchain is a decentralized, encrypted, remote and secure network.
The big leap: no one can alter any information saved in this “block chain”
– a kind of public, extensive and inviolable data bank. Digital wallets
cannot be defrauded. The money from an individual or a company
reaches a certain recipient, and the operation becomes registered. It can
also catalog all kinds of digital files.
3. BLOCKCHAIN: WAY BEYOND
FINTECH MARKETS
9. 9MOBILE TRENDS 2018
According to the World Economic Forum, the financial sector has
invested 1.4 billion USD in research on blockchain in the last four years.
From Goldman Sachs, Citi and JP Morgan to Santander, Bradesco and
Itau, several banks are studying and testing the technology, whose use
can reduce operational costs in a drastic way.
But the applications go beyond the financial market. In January, for
instance, IBM and A.P. Moller-Maersk, the largest maritime container
transportation company in the world, announced a blockchain-
based partnership. The platform created will enable management
and tracking of millions of containers, digitizing the supply-chain
processes from door to door.
According to the companies, the goal is to speed up the global
market and help the sector save billions of dollars – bureaucracy and
paperwork respond to up to one fifth of the total cost of this mode of
transportantoon. Disney has already developed its own blockchain,
called Dragonchain. It has dozens of different uses, such as ticket sales,
a marketplace for intellectual property and the security platform for IoT
(Internet of Things).
“Blockchain are big business networks: way beyond currency exchange.
Bitcoin was just one of the technology’s successful implementations”,
says Fulvio Xavier, co-founder at Smartchains, a Brazilian startup
specialized in blockchain, created in March 2017 and B2B-oriented.
“Our focus are businesses themselves, we do not deal in cryptocurrency.
We developed applications for companies to make the necessary
transactions”, says Xavier.

10. 10MOBILE TRENDS 2018
He explains that blockchain can be used for a number of things:
authentication of contracts, tracking of International shipping, high-
cost equipment maintenance, implementation of a “health wallet”
that centralizes the entire medical history of patients, with connected
hospitals and clinics.
“Dubai is putting everything in the blockchain. When someone asks for
a new document, it is released immediately if the information is already
available in the network”, says the expert. “In Holland, a district put
its entire bicycle management in a blockchain: people report thefts
and the police is called, as well as the insurance company. Since the
network recognizes the authenticity of the information, the damage is
automatically covered”, says Xavier.
In Brazil, the giant food company BRF joined forces with Carrefour and
IBM in a project of food safety. The idea is simple: the consumer can
take the smartphone and do a door-to-door tracking of products in the
supermarket shelves, such as a tray of pork chop (in 2017, the Weak
Meat Operation was a hard blow on the Brazilian industry, with big
companies being accused of altering the meat they would sell in both
local and external markets).
“They are investing in business transparency. This should increase
brand trust”, says Xavier, who thinks the country is ahead of other
developing markets. Recently, Smartchains participated in debates
about diversified applications of blockchain with Globo Networks and
The Federal Government.

11. 11MOBILE TRENDS 2018
According to the executive, supply-chain and logistics will be the first
industries to go through the transformation. Media and advertising will
come next – a song, for example, can be in the network, which already
knows its copyright distribution and makes financial transactions each
time the song is played in a platform such as Spotify. The same can be
done for a brand with its market segmentation, creating a network of
advertisers and publishers.
According to Gartner, the technology will ripen in 2020. In its current
state, it can be compared to the Internet back in 1996. “But it is an
applicable technology. The challenges are having it under the right light
and oxygenation, besides having these chains talk to one another.
The future of blockchain will be several business networks exchanging
information in an automated fashion”. •

P
odcasts. Music streaming. Online radio. Smart speakers for domestic
help. Digital audio lived a boom in 2017 and now has everything it
takes to establish itself as the hottest and younger channel.
In terms of consumption, it goes through a growth curve around the
world. A XAPPmedia report indicates that, of a total of one billion global
streaming listeners, nine out of ten already prefer ad-serving platforms.
When it comes to online radio, it is expected that in 2019, the audience
in the US will top 191 million listeners – approximately 52% of the
population -, according to eMarketer.
4. THE POWER OF VOICE:AUDIO
ADVERTISING EXPLODES
13. 13MOBILE TRENDS 2018
And audio advertising surfs in the popularity of media, climbing priority
positions in the advertisers’ agenda. One of its advantages, always
pointed out by analysts, is that the message comes wrapped in a very
personal experience, sometimes enriched by headphones.
“Questions bugging other formats, such as viewability, are not important
in radio”, compares Marco Bertozzi, VP at Spotify for EMEA (Europe,
Middle East and Africa). “Traditional radio always created this same
intimacy, but digital adds a context layer to the platform or device.
Segmentation is much more precise, and all this creates one of the most
potent communications media for brands”, dizBertozzi.
Another thing: an audio ad does not interrupt user activity. “It is a way
to stay connected throughout the day. The user may be checking the
phone or have it in his pocket; he can either be playing or driving: audio
can always reach him”, he sums up. “The success of several exponents
in this channel started to show advertisers a future in which the screen
need not be the main medium for interacting”, he adds.
Today, Spotify is present in 61 countries, with over 140 million active users
– half of which pay subscription. Latin American is one of the regions with
high-speed growth, and it also represents one of biggest audiences for the
platform. Most people access through mobile. “Our life revolves around
mobile devices. We talk about how listeners, now ‘soundtrack’, keep
creating playlists to get around, cook, travel, concentrate… With mobile,
our playlists can move with us”, says Bertozzi.

Programatic audio is the number one sub-trend this year, says Bertozzi.
As with other media, automated purchased has become reality in
streaming services and online radio. Estimates indicate that it will
continue its ascension, based on proprietary data, streaming intelligence
and secure environment for brands, made possible by the leading
platforms in the market.
Bertozzi understands that the future of integration will be driven by
two components: voice will be the main entrance, while screen will
continue to be the central exit. “People will be able to voice-search,
solicit, ask and annotate and receive the results on the screen. It will
be a powerful combination”, he says. “Retail will benefit, as well as
tourism and advertising. There are infinite opportunities, and brands
will be able to create more responsive and trigger-like ads, mixing
screen and voice”, he adds.•

H
ead of creative at Google Zoo, the innovation team with the
company’s top creatives and tech experts, Ignacio Zuccarino
says that Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) already
have all that is necessary to become massive technologies.
“When it comes to platforms, devices and adoption by users, they are
both scalable. But I feel that gamers, more than brands, will drive these
new normalities”, says Zuccarine, mentioning Pokemon Go’s explosion
and Snapchat lenses, two years ago, as disruptive moments for AR.
Most new Android phones support the Virtual Reality Platform developed
by Google, Daydream, so 74% of smartphone users are ready to access
related content. Apple is also heavily investing in these technologies and
has recently released ARKit, its Augmented Reality platform for iOS.

16. 16MOBILE TRENDS 2018
Mobile will be, in the next few years, the imperative condition to get
into the VR and AR universes. “And what is mobile? Certainly, it is not
your phone. It is just the most popular mobile medium right now, but it
will soon be replaced”, says Zuccarino, one of the most awarded Latin
American creatives in the industry, having started his career in Argentina.
“Within five years, different kinds of lenses will make the majority of the
mobile platform. In five to ten years, cars could also be your chosen
mobile weapon. And ten years from now, maybe we will be searching
and posting from our heads, thanks to brain implants. Mobile will
become our own body. We can already see that mobile devices and
human bodies are merging into one thing. I believe that mobile will
become augmented human beings”, says Zuccarino.
Google now focuses its efforts on Daydream and ArCore, its
Augmented Reality platform. It also supports the fashionable
American startup Magic Leap, which has raised 1,9 billion USD
in funding from giant companies. In December 2017, it showed a
preliminary version of its much-awaited AR device.
The first Oscar nomination for a VR movie – the animated short Pearl,
produced by Google Spotlight Stories – happened last year. 2017 also
marked the introduction of technology to the Cannes Film Festival, with
the selection of the short Carne y Arena, by Mexican director Alejandro
G. Iñárritu. The experience made possible by this VR installation also
led Iñárrituto win another Oscar, this time specially awarded. According
to the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences of the USA, the
project “has opened for us new doors of cinematic perception”.
“There are clear signs that pop culture is adopting Virtual Reality.
Things are happening much faster now”, says Zuccarino. An important
change in course is the evolution of “storytelling” to “storyliving” – the
core of the magic offered by VR and AR. “They both have the potential
to deliver ad messages in a much more powerful way than formats

such as text, static images and traditional videos. The multi-sensorial
communicationshelp people see, hear, feel and identify better with other
people’s experiences”, says the expert.
Only the brave, however, will embrace these solutions in the next two or
three years, he believes. “These are robust projects, expensive, and they
take time. And creating a Virtual Reality Story gives users the final control
over the brand experience”, he says.
In Latin America, still a TV-oriented region, the challenges are even
bigger. “Either there is no money, no time, no infrastructure or courage to
test. We need to wake up”, says Zuccarino.
In the vision of the leader at Google Zoo, “storyliving” will push forward
not just a number of industries, but also humankind. “Imagine the
possibility of putting yourself in the shoes of someone who has suffered
in the war. Or someone forced to abandon his homeland. Someone who
has lost a child, or is going through a terminal illness. The true power of
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality lies in empathy”, he says. •

D
emanded by advertisers around the world, transparency is
currently a priority topic in the industry. Decisive components for
a digital campaign such as viewability, fighting non-human traffic
and brand safety have never been so in vogue. And mobile marketing
plays a fundamental role in this conversation.
According to an estimate by ANA (Association of National Advertisers
– EUA), advertisers around the globe have lost approximately 6,5 billion
USD in “bot frauds” only in 2017. When it comes to viewability, studies
by comScore show that, globally, the indicator is close to 50%, with
small variations, depending on the marketing. As for the concern with
secure environments, it has climbed up in the last couple of years, when
giants Facebook and YouTube took centerstage in scandals involving
fake news, hate speeches and violence apology.
6. TRANSPARENT USE OF DATA– AND
MEDIA PURCHASE: SEGMENTATION AND
THE NEW ERA FOR PROGRAMMATIC
19. 19MOBILE TRENDS 2018
Transparency in media buying is leading programmatic into a new era.
Based on both intelligence and technology, data and automation, the
model is live in several channels, enabling more assertive campaigns,
sophisticated audience-segmentation and cross-content, in scale and
real time. But the risks in servings ads that are not legible, serving them
to robots or in damaged environments exist and must be faced.
“We are living a moment of ecosystem-sophistication. Big advertisers
wanted more transparent processes and deliverables with better
indicators, and this thickened the discussion”, says Darwin Ribeiro,
head at Cadreon, IPG Mediabrands Ad Tech unity, in Brazil. For the last
six years, the company has been working with independent vendors to
audit campaigns.
“We need independent auditing companies, specialized in campaign
verification. It is not yet possible to fully assess certain behaviors when
buying directly from the platforms”, he says. Ad Verification and Compliance
Tools, now commonplace, obviously demand some cost flexibility.
“When it comes to transparency, a recurring mistake is to take business
model for buying model. Advertisers may buy media through transparent
business models [fee, commission] and non-transparent [CPC, CPA]
and still demand the use of independent auditing companies. In
programmatic media, you select and deal with independent actors for
each step of a transparent deliverable – the problem is that it demands
time and previous knowledge. Picking one single vendor for both tech
and media may be a more convenient and seemingly economic decision,
but it is never transparent”, explains Ribeiro.

As the mobile media chain continues to grow in both investment and
relevance for brands, it attracts agencies’ and advertisers’ interest, and
they ask for greater adherence to business results. The mobile industry
trusts device IDs for identifying users, while desktop uses cookies – but
cookies and device IDs do not translate perfectly into one another, and
that makes cross-device identification harder.
“Mobile adds essential layers to campaign segmentation, such as
granular geolocation data, and people access a great volume of content
from their smartphones. However, usability is still precarious and we do
not take advantage from rich resources, such as the gyroscope, the
accelerometer, 360 and touch-screen”, says Darwin Ribeiro.
One way to change this scenario in the long run would be to include in
the organization’s leaders’ goals success indicators attached to these
advances, he says. In the short run, it is important not to put too many
barriers to verification tests. “It’s a hit and miss process, with a steep
learning curve, very open to experimentation”, says Ribeiro. •

T
he explosion of mobile enabled the evolution of location-based
marketing and placed it at the center of brand strategies.
Many brands already exploit consistently the opportunities of
geolocation and, moving forward, these applications should become
more sophisticated.
When it comes to marketing, there are several advantages geolocation-
based data could empower, such as customizing products or services
and getting to know consumer behavior in-depth, or finding non-invasive
ways to talk to consumers. After building a relevant presence – when
the brand approaches the user at the right time and place, serving in-
context messages –, investments are optimized.
7. LOCATION-BASED SERVICES
REINFORCE MOBILE’S VOCATION
22. 22MOBILE TRENDS 2018
In countries with a plural audience, such as Brazil, mobile also enables
the creation of a regional communication strategy.
“Knowledge is power. And geolocation has served each time more
relevant information to marketing professionals. Information that can
make a difference in consumers’ lives”, sums up Luciana Froehlich,
marketing superintendent at SulAmérica,the largest independent
insurance company in Brazil.
She recalls that the concept of assertiveness is not new, since it means
to optimize investments and increase sales, but now it comes with an
upgrade: the possibility of being really assertive in a global level.
“Smartphones have become part of consumers’ lives, in every sphere.
Technology keeps evolving and can be applied to distinct goals, from
the generation of leads and visits to brick-and-mortar stores, to loyalty
building and entertainment. The impact itself changes several sectors”,
says Luciana, pointing out the retail market, which now benefits from
push notification offers when users are close to points of sales, and
loyalty programs. “They are no longer customer retention tools: they
have become tools for customized engagement”, says Froehlich.
And when it goes beyond marketing, playing the role of a service,
geolocation reinforces the entire mobile vocation. SulAmérica developed,
in partnership with Waze, City Watch, which would cross traffic data
with drivers’ location, sending relevant memos to the population. They
knew in real time about the crossings with more accidents, the most
dangerous highways and the risks of flood in the city.
Froehlich also draws light to the Invisible Food case, which showed
the “transformative power of geolocation for the society”. Through
technology, the app enabled the donation of food – unsuited for
commerce and yet suited to be eaten by people in need.

Restaurants, supermarkets, hotels, buffets and bars could register to the
platform as donors and NGOs, as intermediates. Around the globe, 1.3
billion tons of food are put to waste every year, equivalent to 30% of the
total production.
“The intelligence created by location-data transformed many businesses
in the last few years, and these transformations go through the creation
of new services and opportunities in order to keep a current business
operational”, says Froehlich. The franchise chains are a good example:
the main reason for their bankruptcy is the poor location choice for
points of sales. Today, many franchise chains are investing in location-
based tools that analyze the geographical area, identifying buying
potential for nearby residents and customers, income, age, on and
offline behavior, nearby shops, competitors’ performance.
With products such as Google Home and autonomous cars on their
way to becoming mainstream, Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning will lead the next chapters on location-based services,
she says. “Systems are already learning how to calculate what you
purchase and when and where the chances are higher for you buying
these items. This gives a lot of power to brands, and location-based
data will always be key to businesses”.
With strategic insights, more assertive estimates and investment
optimization, the big leap, she says, will be the chance to integrate all
data in an intelligent and quick way. Meta-analytics tools, that exploit the
organization’s analytics tools, integrating critical data from each one and
producing a broader, more efficient scope, are a high-demand solution.
“Besides giving better results, they allow for company teams to have
more time for decision making and strategy developing”, says Froehlich. •

M
oved by a need for greater security in online transactions,
mobile payments have everything, now, to gain scale.
Smartphones already have native security features, such as
biometric authentication, used by operational systems’ stores to verify
the authenticity of a purchase. And tech payment companies are starting
to offer advanced systems for managing digital fraud. They cross-
reference huge chunks of data, and are able to identify the fraudster’s
behavior, in any device or location.
Shopper DNA, from Adyen, is an example. Mixing advanced algorithms
and behavior analysis, it can create a clear vision of the shopper behind
each transaction.
8. MOBILE PAYMENTS AND
SECURITY: THE NEW WALLET
25. 25MOBILE TRENDS 2018
“This gives legitimate consumers a barrier-free experience, stimulating
their trust in mobile purchases. As for the fraudsters, they are blocked,
even when they switch devices, networks or their data”, says Jean
Christian Mies, senior vice president for Latin America at the company.
We will also watch the popularization of digital wallets, such as Google
Pay and Apple Play, which give the user a secure purchase experience
–one click on the smartphone and you know your data are protected.
“Hotel Urbano, PeixeUrbano and iFood are some of our partners
already giving customers Google Play. Besides being secure, it is also
convenient: simple and friction-less”, explains Mies.
Mobile payments are in expansion in every market. Adyen data from
November 2017 show that 52% of online purchases on its platform
happened via mobile devices. In early 2017, this rate was 43%. In Brazil,
growth is expected to be even steeper. According to Anatel (National
Communications Agency), the country ended 2017 with 236,5 million
mobile phones – a density of 113 devices for every 100 people.
“Consumer behavior is changing: besides doing more research, it
is common that they conclude the purchase on the phone. Mobile
payments volume grows inevitability and we watch the migration
toward mobile-onlyshopper. This is an expansive mobile trend”,
saysMies. For him, it is time brands realized that their customers do
not want disconnected experiences, in different channels. “They want
a unique, single experience in every channel. And a modern platform
helps the shop owner get to know his customer and personalize his
shopping experience”.

26. 26MOBILE TRENDS 2018
Acoording to a Statista research from 2017, Brazilians spend five
hours every day connected to the Internet through their mobile
devices. It does not make sense to wait for the user to be in front of
a store or on the desktop to reach him. “Smartphone is a constant
point of touch with the consumer and also a way through immediate
purchases. Companies that have invested in mobile advertising will
be closer to their target audience and increase their chances of
selling anytime, anywhere”, says Mies.
According to him, the mobile devices and wallets boom will also add
to the challenge of mobile marketing: to help shorten the process
between consideration and purchase of a product or service. “Mobile
marketing has a great responsibility in eliminating the barriers
through digital shopping. With this, mobile marketing will stop being
a promotion medium for brands to become an important sales
channel”, he concludes. •

I
n an exponential growth curve, higher in developing markets,
marketing based on instant messaging will finally become customized.
Earlier this year, WhatsApp released WhatsApp Business, which
introduces the message exchanging tools and simple metric statistics to
the business market.
It is estimated that, in India and Brazil, the traditional version of the
platform already helps 80% of small businesses communicate with
their customers or grow their business. With the launch of the branding
bundle, WhatsApp will create new demands for the market, says Yuri
Flaschi, sales director at Infobip in Latin America. “It is more interactive,
people tend to see and respond messages in-app. It is common to
interact on the platform with a salesman. As for SMS, it is not as user-
friendly, and e-mail is impersonal”, says Flaschi
9. MESSAGING AS A
MARKETING PLATFORM
28. 28MOBILE TRENDS 2018
Specialized in messaging solutions, the company has grown 100% in
messaging volume between 2016 and 2017. Today, there is a omni-
focus, that is, all channels are available on mobile: SMS, voice, e-mail,
push notifications and instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp,
Telegram and Facebook Messenger. Present in 190 countries, the
platform integrates different channels and has a direct connection with
more than 200 mobile carriers.
The trend is also alert to a shift in consumer behavior: they no longer
want to talk to one another, explains Flaschi. “Text, they can ignore.
One of the reasons for the advance in e-commerce is precisely that,
avoiding interaction with a salesman”. He highlights, however, that
brands should get to know their customer base better and then to
segment its communications, in order to fight a possible rejection.
“Messaging in marketing should not be a cannon shot. Messages must
be individualized, in-context”, says Flaschi.
An Infobip client in Brazil from the financial sector decided to replace its
call center and sell credit through SMS. The database was transferred to
the platform and, once every month, clients with pre-approved credit get
SMSs. Besides automation, the system is up to speed – it recognizes
the user’s answer and interprets it, to continue the conversation and
increase the chances of fully converting. In the first month of activation,
R$ 500,000 in credit were sold.
Taking technology into consideration and choosing the broader one
amidst the target audience is a key element in a successful messaging
strategy. “It is essential to get to know your audience and know how they
interact better. If he only accesses Wi-Fi from work, home or a coffee-
place, wouldn’t it be better to approach him with a voice message or

even get back to SMS? With Uber, it is a different case, it uses almost
every solution in our platform because they know their customers have
data plans”, says Flaschi.
An opportunity to be explored is to create new services, designed for the
target audience, to be sold through mobile. When someone has a non-
authorized sale on his credit card, he could receive, at the same time, a
credit offer, he says. Using indoor location to approach customers inside
malls or supermarkets could also become common practice.
“The future of messaging will be brands interacting not only to talk about
price, but also to bring people relevant information, that they still need
to search for today. When talking about rice, they could recommend a
low-sodium product – and this will make the relationship with the client
richer”, says the specialist. “Push will be on demand for the customer,
because he does not want to be bothered with irrelevant messages.
Crossing technologies with marketing intelligence will make room for this
innovation”, says Flaschi. •

T
he era for small daily virals has come – and it is not going away.
Small, because next day, or even the same day, they are replaced
by other virals, consumed by the audience with the same
voracity, until the next one arrives.
How to take advantage of this decentralized content, distributed in a
non-linear fashion, with such high engagement rates? “This is a question
we discuss all the time”, says Eduardo Picarelli, marketing director at
Heineken Brazil for mainstream brands and sponsorships. “We call
them micro-moments, but we not believe them to be created by micro-
influencers. It is not the user who defines the power of that content. A
video suddenly goes viral. But the user is soon forgotten”, says Picarelli.
10. MICROMOMENTS, INFLUENCERS
AND MOBILE CONTENT
31. 31MOBILE TRENDS 2018
Recently in Brazil, a nutritionist denounced the composition of some
beer brands in the market. The video about “corn beers”, which have in
the ingredient, possibly transgender, in their formula, went viral, causing
damage to the mentioned products – some are amongst the most
largely consumed in the country”.
“To Heineken, it was fantastic. But we are still studying how to take full
advantage of these waves. It is a phenomenon just now being understood
by brands”, says Picarelli, bringing attention to the danger of brands not
having control over these micro-influencers and their contents.
In Heineken’s portfolio in the country, there are variations that require
monitoring and attention. He exemplifies: “Kaiser is a product whose
reputation requires a lot of attention. Devassa too, for other reasons: we
have a team mapping everything, every day, to try and avoid any sexist
association. With Amstel, we have a different situation: we only hire one
social listerner, to prepare monthly reports”, explainsPicarelli.
Besides solutions designed for brand safety, it also requires
transparency and speed – mobile makes everything faster, because
it is at the reach of your hand, acting and reacting in real time.
“Everyday virals exist because of smartphones. But every brand
must know where to stand, its point of view. They must not be afraid
of saying: ‘As a brand, I am this’. After all, it is impossible to please
everyone”, says the marketing director.
Even if he does not envision a marketing strategy without medium
and macro influencers, the executive understands that the main thing,
in order to engage the audience, is to have purpose. “This creates
repertoire affinity for topics. Then, connecting with an influencer, you gain
credibility. They will play more and more central roles, and this strategy
will also be important for performance reasons”.

In 2018, he believes there will be a platform fragmentation, making
advertising benefit from apps that are replacing media and have a
massive reach, such as Uber and iFood. “It still pays off to connect with
what’s new”, says Picarelli.
He also expects learning how to benefit from the incredible presence
of WhatsApp in everyone’s lives – one of Heineken’s metrics is sharing
videos on the platform. “It shows the power of your content in an organic
way. Today, you can buy everything, except shares”, observes Picarelli.
The beer producer is also training its team for more sophisticated
practices in mobile marketing. “Companies must learn to master the
mobile universe, to make the best of their investments”, he concludes. •

A
s in the last couple of years, multi-touch attribution will be
essential to the industry in 2018. More and more advertisers and
agencies are facing this issue as a top priority, thanks to media
consumption happening more and more through mobile.
Multi-touch attribution is the science of using advanced analytics tools,
taking into consideration data about each specific user, to attribute
credit to a granular list of points of touch. A sophisticated multi-touch
approach is able to map all online and offline channels involved in a
purchase journey – or in a goal reached by the brand.
The current moment is pulverized with channels and platforms, making
conversion a long and liquid process. Attributing the right value to

each touch-point, the advertiser can allocate correct values to
campaigns, actions and strategies. When implementing the right
attribution model, the organization can adjust and optimize its media
investments – this happens because data-driven decisions are more
objective and scientific.
Robust initiatives have started to take shape, such as the one released
in 2016 by the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) in the USA. The
Marketing Attribution Think Tank (MATT) was created, a partnership with
researchers, attribution specialists and leaders from 20 big global brands
studying multi-touch attribution solutions. The group is studying metrics
and attribution’s challenges – the two topics lead the priority list for
mobile marketing professionals, according to a research conducted by
the association.
It is already known that today most conversions happen after the
interaction with more than one ad, and that there is not relation between
click-through and effective sales.
However 81% of marketers still use CTR (click-through rate) more than
any other metric to attribute value to a sale.
“Attribution is a topic every company must discuss. It’s what makes
us different from other media. And technology is key”, says Alberto
PardoBanano, CEO and founder at Adsmovil. Pioneer in offering mobile
advertising solutions in the Latin American and Hispanic markets in
the USA, the company is part of Group Cisneros and one of the most
awarded players in the mobile industry. “This is why the digital universe is
so hard to manage. Too many people in the industry do not understand
the technology – and vice-versa”, he says.
With an ever more affordable technology, it is possible to create
automated attribution models, customized according to the advertiser,
segment or campaign. “You can see what’s working or not, based

on chosen KPIs [key performance indicators]. Mobile, social, TV
streaming: how each one is performing, in each micro-moment in the
consumer journey? Based on this, it is possible to optimize budget,
practically in real time. It is one of the most relevant things for any
marketing activity”, says Pardo.
In a region like Latin America, a component not to be forgotten is the
historic concentration of advertising budget on TV. The TV market,
however, has metrics established long go. Meanwhile, it is important to
prove that mobile increases sales, implementing an attribution model
integrating three distinct worlds: offline, digital and mobile.
The biggest challenge, according to Banano, is to standardize
measurement, once digital puts together several distinct channels, each
adopting a different attribution model. “We have to standardize metrics,
develop and implement a single model for all. With a standardized
methodology, the same one for every channel, advertisers and agencies
can compare performance and make better decisions”.
In the multi-channel marketing era, it makes no sense to not think of
multi-touch attribution, and mobile loses with traditional attribution
models, he says. “In Latin America, 60% of media consumption
happens on mobile, leaving 40% to desktop. But the opposite
happens in the investment flow: there is more budget to desktop than
mobile in the region. An attribution model that understands the role
and value of each channel is necessary, because advertisers should
be where the audience is”. •
