Mobile video ads are becoming more and more popular with 61% of German users already consuming videos on their smartphones. In the early days we saw spots, produced for TV also running on desktop or mobile phones. Thank goodness this isn’t the case anymore for most video ads, and many advertisers and agencies have understood to treat online and mobile channels differently. However, there are still many pitfalls and challenges for creators and brands when producing content for mobile devices. And we still see many videos which do not yet conform to the latest best practices.
