Consumers are on the move and eager to engage with brands that provide seamless interactions across channels and devices, but often the experience they encounter is fragmented. Successful marketers realize the buyer journey must be better integrated, but as channels continue to proliferate, it’s challenging to get the full picture of what the customer experience looks like.
While the mobile wallet holds the ability to enable consumers to make payments (like Apple Pay), it is also provides the digital equivalent of everything you carry in your physical wallet today, including coupons, loyalty cards, membership cards, etc. Having these items on your customers’’ mobile phones creates an opportunity to increase your brand’s exposure, driving lift and loyalty. Smart phone users look at their phone 200+ times a day on average, so why not create an opportunity for your brand to be seen during each of those interactions?

Awareness is growing about the widely divergent quality of location data and the realities of what can be done with it. But what tools can agencies, marketers and publishers use to sort the wheat from the chaff, and make sure that investments in mobile and location data are not wasted?
Travel back to the classroom with PlaceIQ and the MMA, for a practical course that will help you confidently understand accuracy vs. precision and other critical core concepts when:
Instagram kicked its advertising program into high gear in September, opening its platform to a wide variety of global advertisers and adding a suite of new products, including 30-second video ads and a guaranteed delivery premium product. Advertising on the visual social network, however, requires a different mindset than many other platforms. It’s time for brands to figure out best practices for reaching and engaging Instagram’s massively loyal 400-million-user base in a smart and effective manner.
Thursday, December 10, 2015 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm EST
Delivering intuitive, compelling and seamless experiences to your customers is more important than ever. What’s more is that as your world as a marketer gets more fragmented (as a single user may experience your brand across multiple smartphones, tablets, desktops), your customers are becoming more channel agnostic. They transition from one device to another, expecting seamless continuity. The fragmented device and channel ecosystem, combined with high customer expectations creates a complex landscape that marketers have to navigate.
Mobile moves fast and the industry has quickly been adopting many tools to measure the impact of mobile media. In the midst of the holiday shopping season, Thinknear looks at mobile's ability to drive customers to the store through the lens of foot traffic attribution. Marketers have several choices in the space and we will look at the differences in approach along with recommendations for any media buyer seeking to understand the impact of a mobile advertising campaign.
The objective of Media Planning is to enable Advertisers to meet the objectives of marketing campaigns. People working within the roles of Media Planners are domain experts of the space. The term Domain Expert refers to a person that has expertise in a given area and able to make appropriate decisions based on this expertise. In the Data Science world there is debate for when to use domain expertise and when to use machine learning (e.g. automated learnings from data), and is one superior to the other.

Presented by FollowAnalytics and Gigaom Research
In a 2015 survey commissioned by FollowAnalytics and Gigaom Research, enterprise mobile marketers revealed the critical role that their mobile apps play in the lifetime value of the customer. Once brochureware or purely transactional, mobile apps have evolved and are now expected to deliver intelligent, personalized, 1:1 journeys providing consistency with all other channels such as web, email, and in-store experiences.
Thursday, November 12, 2015 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm EST
For marketers, where people are, where they’ve been and where they are going are strong indicators of consumer intent. For consumers, they expect to have what they want and need when they want it. That means that brands have to adapt to meet mobile consumers expectations with right place and time messaging. Using the power of real-time location marketers can finally stop the guesswork and more effectively reach the right people based on the real places they visit everyday to influence where they will go next.
Wednesday, November 11, 2015 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm EST
The buzz around beacons generated a lot of excitement in 2014. The media was lit up with stories about beacon deployments in retail stores, quick service restaurants, hotels, sports arenas, museums, libraries, airlines/airports, large-scale events with new use cases surfacing all the time. This buzz and excitement has continued into 2015. But just how far have we come with beacons a year later?

Wednesday, November 4, 2015 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm EST
The mobile app is taking over the world. But in a crowded mobile landscape, how can you deliver ROI on your mobile strategy? Too many organizations find themselves investing large amounts of time and money in app strategy and development, only to find it difficult to acquire and retain the mobile users that they need to succeed.
A holistic view of consumer experiences across devices is the key to success this holiday season. Consumers no longer think in terms of channels, they expect a seamless experience whether shopping via a website, mobile device, or app. Leveraging real-time insights and personalized cross-channel engagement metrics to develop innovative marketing strategies will separate the strong campaigns from the weak. Join us as we discuss best practices and the latest trends for reaching the coveted holiday shopper across devices.
Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay are changing how we interact with our phone by implementing mobile wallets with features that go beyond storing credit card information. We are now able to store, save, share coupons, boarding passes and rewards.
As the mobile consumer experience continues to grow and more apps are downloaded, then abandoned by the user, it's more important than ever that retailers have a compelling strategy for building and maintaining an app.
Join Silverpop Retail Segment Director Stephen Dumas and Director of Product Marketing Ben Kaplan as they share top strategies and tactics retailers can use to create a successful and sustainable app as part of their marketing framework. You’ll learn how to:
Advertisers and agencies expect better performance in mobile campaigns compared to other channels, however few mobile campaigns achieve their true potential on converting a relevant audience in significant volumes with comparatively minimal acquisition costs.
To unlock the true advantage of mobile over other digital channels, a campaign must natively extend peer to peer recommendations - a combination of viral programming with an underlying social graph that persists the map of connected users and their shared interests relative to products being promoted in the campaign.
In-app mobile video usage is exploding as highlighted in the latest App Annie Market Index report. Nearly half of mobile video viewers can only (or mostly only) be reached in-app according to IAB. The recent SMOX MMA study with Coca-Cola, Walmart & Mastercard showed that mobile video can outperform cable television. Learn all about in-app mobile video in terms of vertical video, completion rates, viewability, true full-screen formats, rich interactive features, programmatic buying, and more.
We all know how rapidly mobile has changed even the oldest business models. But we've only just begun. In this session we will look at the next stage of the mobile evolution - propensity marketing, or the move to marketing on the basis of what consumers will do, rather than what they have done.
The session will look at how propensity modelling works, and how it applies to mobile. And most importantly, we'll look at the practical ways in which it can help mobile businesses improve retention, engagement and (of course) revenue on mobile!
Mobile marketing is about more than just the channel delivery. It’s about the value of the interaction with your customers and using those data points to power future strategy and communication with each individual customer. When it comes to shopping, many retailers already understand the power of mobile and are invested in mobile apps – but are marketers fully leveraging the range of capabilities for mobile apps when it comes to interaction and individualization?
How much would you spend on a new pair of feet in your store?

On June 18th, the FCC voted on a package of declaratory rulings under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The rulings are designed to provide clarity on how the Commission interprets TCPA, close loopholes and affirm consumer rights to control the calls they receive. The rulings will have a substantial impact on marketing and customer operations across many industries.

We will discuss strong app design, how to create a plan for acquiring users, and the ways in which you can build relationships with those users and thus deliver long-term value. The end result is a transformed business with mobile at its heart.
In what is likely the most comprehensive industry survey of mobile native ad effectiveness ever, MMA members Ahalogy, Celtra, EA, PubNative, Sharethrough, Waze and Yahoo compared campaign results and research findings in an effort to definitely prove the effectiveness of mobile native ads. Steve Schuler from Yahoo, Co-Chair of the Mobile Native Advertising Committee, will lead a discussion sharing these findings and the steps required for developing effective mobile native advertising campaigns.
Let’s get personal. A great majority of marketers are failing to answer the clarion call from consumers to speak to them on a 1-to-1 basis. But some are doing it right. Learn how you can employ emerging technology and smarts to drive sales, engagement and innovation to differentiate yourself from competitive brands and products. This summer webinar is as important to you as sunblock and a good book for the beach. Don’t miss out on the contextual revolution that has become a core requirement for marketers and an expectation of users.
With the rapid growth in mobile ad spend, and specifically within programmatic, marketers need to understand the traditional and newly emerging targeting techniques available and how they work. Bringing a concerted industry effort to bear on this, while addressing the needs of publishers to be able to get fair consideration, is a critical concern.
In an increasingly fast paced, hyper connected world, marketers and brands are confronted with a seismic shift in consumer behavior. Everywhere consumers devote more and more time to their mobiles phones. Mobiles are personal, portable and pedestrian. They are with us 24/7 everywhere and are indisputably the first screen!
We will highlight the technology, media and most importantly human behavioral changes (consumption, choice, control, access) over the past several years.
We will cite specific evidence, e.g. disruptive networks, media, businesses, technologies, political and social changes, etc.
We will call-out the impact and shifts these changes have wrought in the swirl of the emerging ecosystem of brands and people.
Smartphones and tablets may be the primary (and sometimes only) way your audience is learning about your brand and moving through the customer journey, but does your marketing reflect this new mobile reality? Savvy marketers are taking the time to think through their entire mobile user journey — from first touch all the way through consideration to purchase.
The MMA's groundbreaking SMoX Study (Cross Marketing Effectiveness) provides brand marketers, for the very first time, empirical evidence for what the allocation to mobile should be...and that's in the double digits! Not just from their digital budgets, but from their ENTIRE marketing budgets!
Native advertising is among the most talked about—and puzzling—aspects of the ad industry. Native is big and getting bigger, with spending expected to reach over 4Billion this year. Year over Year, it’s expected to grow 34% through 2018. With big name publishers like Forbes, The Atlantic and New York Times actively getting into the game, every brand and agency should be looking to create, and improve, their native content strategy.
Whether you’re a large brand trying to connect with customers through a mobile app, or a small developer working to gain traction with a mobile game, user installs are mission number one. The typical approach is to set aside budget for paid acquisition campaigns while also dedicating other resources to improving organic growth but it isn’t that simple. These two aspects of user acquisition have a lot more to do with one another than you might assume and shouldn’t be considered completely separate efforts.
Today, more than 40% of people consider their mobile phone as the most important resource for information. While mobile has become the first screen for many consumers, marketers spend only 10% of their advertising budgets to reach consumers where they are, and where they find the most important information. With consumers now relying on their mobile devices to do just about everything, the question has evolved from “how do I use mobile marketing” to “how does mobile fit in the overall customer experience across all my channels?”
The mobile ecosystem is large, fragmented, and subject to volatility. Traffic channels that work one day may not prove effective the next. And over time, many marketers struggle to consistently identify the most efficient ways to reach the right audiences. Programmatic marketing solves these challenges, helping marketers target precise audiences efficiently while staying on top of an always-changing ecosystem.
This webinar explores the latest in programmatic mobile marketing. In it we’ll cover:
The future of location-powered mobile advertising is bright. Beyond the creative, new beacon technology and integrated feeds featuring local and social data take today’s mobile campaigns to the next level. In this free webinar, you’ll hear from technology leaders and designers going beyond the message and building dynamic creative to trigger consumer engagement, drive foot traffic and boost product sales.
The focus of the MMA webinar is to discuss how text messaging marketing must be at the center of any cross-channel marketing strategies. In today’s ever-changing fast paced world, consumers are adopting new ways to communicate with brands via their mobile phones. However, brands are still missing critical points of engagement leveraging text messaging within their cross-channel communication strategy.
A global survey of customers and businesses by Millward Brown Digital on behalf of Mblox showed a large gap between the way businesses and consumers view customer care. 73% of businesses think they care well for their customers, yet only 36% of consumers agree. So how do brands close the gap and maintain a large, loyal customer base? The best place to start is with a multi-channel mobile strategy that stretches across marketing, IT and customer service.
Stacy Adams, Mblox VP of Global Marketing will discuss:
With the promise of higher engagement, marketers are starting 2015 with more interest in native mobile advertising than ever before. But many questions remain regarding how native on mobile can be offered at a scale that makes sense for advertisers and how the issues related to sponsored content apply.
According to eMarketer, only 40% of US advertising decision-makers say they are taking money out of their print advertising budget to allocate to mobile. And yet, nearly 85% of audiences consume media on their tablets and smartphones, in addition to their television, according to a Tapad study. It’s clear: mobile has officially captured a majority of traffic away from desktops. Companies looking to win "the screen wars" must focus more time, attention and dollars on mobile; it is the next big opportunity for reaching consumers where they spend most of their time.
This session brought to you by the MMA Internet of Things Incubation Council, featuring Co-Chair Richard Ting, EVP, Global Executive Creative Director, Mobile & Social Platforms, R/GA. As the Internet continues to extend beyond traditional screens, brands must redefine what mobile is. This webinar will explore what’s working and not working in the growing Internet of Things (IoT) space and share opportunities for brands to transform their business through new products and services.
We’re no longer living in a desktop world. The entire Internet experience has shifted to mobile, and that’s become increasingly apparent for digital video. In fact, the personal connection consumers have with their smartphones is playing out in the form of often higher video watch-through rates. The downside to this fast-moving trend: advertisers are just not responding quickly enough. Media buying trails mobile-first user behavior, which equals inefficiency and a corresponding lower ROI.
The number of connected consumer devices is exploding. While mobile holds the promise of “always on” reach and personalized communications, marketers continue to face obstacles in identifying consumers across devices and effectively integrating mobile into their overall digital strategy. Join Neustar and our guest speaker from Adelphic to learn new ways to connect with your consumers and personalize their experiences across multiple screens so you stay relevant and achieve greater results from your marketing campaigns.
There is a lot to be excited about in native advertising. Native ads are one of the fastest growing digital ad formats, 63% of brands feel that native ads increase people’s engagement with their message. When done right, ads that are delivered in a format that looks and acts like the content around them drive post click behavior as well as branding metrics. But, the industry has to be careful to also provide value for people. Join us for this webinar to find out everything you need to know about how native ads work and how to use them to create value for you and your customers.
This session will share the critical aspects of developing a mobile strategy that becomes core to a brands marketing efforts. In 2014, the MMA and adidas developed and launched the Mobile Marketing Playbook for brands and agencies, providing a resource to explain when, where and how companies can consistently use mobile to provide a consistent global brand experience.
In today's manic world, where's the best place to engage your target audience? How about on the digital billboard they're carrying around in their pockets? Mobile devices are the best way to catch on-the-go customers; it's where they watch videos, check social media, surf the web and read email.
Time spent on a mobile device by the average US consumer has risen to 2 hrs and 42 minutes a day. A whopping 86% of that time is spent in apps, making the mobile browser a single easy application swimming in a sea of apps. Within apps, video has emerged as the most compelling advertising experience with the mobile video ad market expected to hit $2.7B by 2017 according to eMarketer.
Did you know that 30 percent of active Pinterest users pull up the mobile app while in-store to guide their purchases? That’s just one of many reasons that you’re probably not spending enough marketing time on Pinterest as you should.
With 75 percent of Pinterest coming from mobile, and the platform responsible for sending more web traffic than Twitter, Reddit and LinkedIn combined, marketers need to take notice of the growing visual search engine. The launch of new discovery tools and Promoted Pins means the time is now to learn and leverage.
This webinar will provide marketers with an introduction to best practices, proven methodologies and questions to ask when using location-based targeted audiences and inclusive data sources to identify, reach and impact their ideal consumers.
All brick and mortar stores face the same challenge — today’s shoppers have so many choices, with the competition always just a few keystrokes away, any time of the day or night. Outside of price, service has become the key differentiator. To earn a sale and repeat visits, retailers need to deliver the very best in service, every time a shopper walks through the door. And in-store mobile marketing can make that happen — automatically.
ustomer expectations have skyrocketed when it comes to the digital experience. Today we live in a multi-screen and multi-environment world. Not only are consumers constantly engaging on devices, but they are hopping from tablet to desktop to mobile without hesitation. Consumers are demanding a unified brand experience from one touchpoint to the next. However it is time to stop mobile marketing in a silo and instead think of the entire customer engagement journey in context.
Nickelodeon, (**NICK) the NFL (**NFL), and Kellogg’s (**START) are just a few of the hundreds of brands using StarStar numbers to effectively connect with consumers on their mobile phones.
For companies that are successfully monetizing their mobile investment, mobile context is proving itself to be the “not-so-little” big data that’s making all the difference. Mobile context is the insight into consumer information, behavior and location that brands can leverage to optimize customer engagement through hyper-personalization that drives increased brand loyalty and revenue. That’s why the contextual mobile marketing opportunity is being valued at as much as $44 billion.
As consumers, we are bombarded with emails and direct mail; we are constantly targeted with ads online and via mobile. With so many factors influencing us, how can a brand know which specific touch point motivated a shopper like me to head into their store and buy a brand new, 52 inch TV? How did my journey to purchase start, and how long had I been planning my purchase? Should the sale be attributed to the store itself or was it really the result of the banner ad that popped up the morning I made my purchase?
How are you personalizing the mobile interactions between your company and your customers? Are you leveraging all the contextual data available to create consistent, personalized, and relevant conversations that exceed consumer expectations and lead to real business results?
Join Genesys, a global multi-channel customer experience leader, as we dive into the must-have personalization requirements in today’s competitive mobile marketing landscape that put your mobile strategies ahead of the competition. In this webinar, you will learn:
This webinar will explain and explore the different ways that location based advertising can be measured to show both the digital and real-world impact of location-based mobile advertising. Areas discussed will include definitions of the different types of mobile measurement and metrics available today including the type of measurement that should be used by advertising goal.
Location-based mobile advertising for automotive companies is extremely effective, but requires targeting and precision. National, regional and local automotive advertisers each have different needs, campaign goals and marketing tactics to reach consumers throughout the purchase funnel. Today, automotive brands are leading the way and running sophisticated campaigns that are delivering meaningful metrics.
Live Events and Sponsorships are fun and exciting opportunities to engage your consumers. Whether you have a captive audience at a concert or are one of many sponsors of an event or live television show, you need to have a plan. What are your goals and how can you make the most out of your marketing dollars? What message do you want them to take away? Mobile technology provides the opportunity to engage consumers in many ways during an event and keep the conversation going well after they've left the parking lot or turned off their television.
Everywhere marketers look today they are bombarded with data points trying to prove the value of mobile marketing and the urgency to start a program. While much of this data is compelling, ExactTarget wanted to look deeper to get a real sense of what the mobile experience looks like for a smartphone user. So we tracked 470 voluntary consumers for one month to see exactly how they used their smartphones and tablets to access the mobile web and mobile apps. Then we followed up with surveys to confirm and enhance our findings – such as:
More people now access the Internet on mobile than via the PC, and usage of smartphones and tablets is through the roof. Yet mobile ad spending still lags behind other media. Although many brands are still ambivalent, smart brands are starting to embrace mobile advertising, and the very smartest ones are finding it to be a source of significant competitive advantage. Why? Because mobile is so personal, it is now possible to target an audience with unheard of precision.
Location-based advertising has evolved dramatically from its humble beginnings of simple geo-fence tests. Today, retail, QSR and auto brands are leading the way and running sophisticated campaigns that are delivering meaningful metrics.
Join a stellar group of marketers and mobile experts from Verve Mobile, xAd and YP, to hear the 3 most important insights from each industry category on how applying location intelligence to mobile campaigns will drive measurable ROI.

In a survey of client-side marketers worldwide it was found that only 17% of marketers reporting that mobile was “very integrated” into overall marketing strategy. With 84% of consumers expecting a consistent experience across all channels, including mobile, marketers need to make sure that they are delivering consistent and relevant communication across all consumer touch-points. Customers expect seamless interactions with a brand cross channel and for that brand to evolve with their digital usage. Delivering a well-rounded campaign doesn't start with tactics, it needs a strategy.
With today's mobile marketing technology, reaching your broad base of customers is easier than ever. However, to make your message stick you have to go deeper. In this webinar, we reinforce the importance of one-to-one engagement when it comes to today’s connected consumer—after all, 54% would consider ending their loyalty programs if they weren’t given tailor-made, relevant content and offers—but we will also provide you with the tools you need to build mobile marketing strategy with the individual consumer in mind.
With some analysis predicting that 80% of all global web traffic will come from mobile devices in less than 5 years, it has never been more important for businesses to embrace and optimize the mobile channel fully.

Connecting brands with the mobile audience they need to reach – when, where, and how it is most relevant – is essential for agencies and brand managers. Consumers are increasingly turning to their many mobile devices to research and purchase products and services.
The growth of mobile devices across the globe is rapidly increasing, and privacy concerns in Online Behavioral Advertising (OBA) are following that same trend. Recent research has shown that 8 out of 10 consumers will not download an app they don’t trust. Most important, self-regulatory bodies such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) have taken note by releasing the Application of Self-Regulatory Principles to the Mobile Environment.
In changing media consumption times, it’s imperative for local businesses to adapt to not only survive, but thrive.

For many businesses, we’ve passed the tipping point. The majority of customers interact with brands on mobile. The majority of revenue is influenced by mobile.
It could be the calm before the impending TCPA regulation storm as the new TCPA laws have just gone into effect. As a brand marketer, you need to ensure that your marketing mobile campaigns run full steam ahead, and that the solution providers you use are operating in compliance with the new regulations related to consent management. In addition, you need to ensure that your mobile customer database is up to date and accurate to ensure that you are not at risk of TCPA violation.
One of the most valuable components of the mobile marketing revolution, location data has revolutionized marketing outreach by offering an unprecedented advantage for marketers to connect with consumers at the right place and time. Location-based ad targeting alone is slated to be a $9B industry in a matter of a few years.
Agencies are boosting mobile ad spend. In fact, 69% of brand marketers plan to increase mobile advertising in 2013, according to eMarketer. Brands know there’s an opportunity in mobile, but are looking for guidance. Agencies can drive this for them.
Three quarters of mobile consumers surveyed in eight countries would allow their location to be used by brands. Further data from the USA results indicate that social media web site ads are ineffective with 71% responding that they were “not at all likely” or only “somewhat likely” to engage. These and dozens of additional findings from an original consumer survey conducted by Millward Brown for mBlox will be presented, dissected and explored for value.

In turn, media owners need to ensure they are creating mobile advertising vehicles that support advertiser’s goals. In this web seminar, we’ll cover everything you need to know to tap into the brand advertising opportunity on mobile devices, including:
The tablet advertising landscape is rife with potential, which is why VivaKi’s Pool team, along with 26 advertisers and publishers, spent 14 months with 20 million consumers (nearly one-third of all tablet users) to find the best ways to advertise on this emerging platform. In the process, the team studied 130 tablet ad executions and conducted an amount of unprecedented research in the space.
The MMA location committee was established to give advertisers and their agency and media partners the confidence to invest their ad dollars into a growing new category of mobile ad products and services. This webinar will provide all participants with an overview of the primary activities that the committee is undertaking, including:
Unlocking the power of mobile messaging presents companies with a worthwhile challenge. The mobile channels – SMS, IVR, Push, Twitter, Facebook, Passbook – return significantly more value when integrated across Marketing, Sales, Communications, Support and Operations. Seamlessly developing this requisite integration, however, requires the tactical coordination of ESPs, CRMs, traditional agencies, specialist agencies and specialist technology companies.
As more consumers migrate their online activities to mobile devices, the challenge for brands is to not just be mobile, but to own more “mobile shelf space” than their competitors. While the knee-jerk reaction is to focus solely on app development, apps are just one part of a solid mobile marketing strategy.
As an increasing number of sports organizations embrace the power of digital channels to engage with their fans, they are beginning to unlock the potential to communicate in a new way with each of their fans and sponsors. Whether it be social, SMS, application or mobile web -- brands are collecting a wealth of information about each individual fan. The challenge of getting someone to talk about a team/brand has evolved into how can you effectively collect and target your most loyal and passionate fans?
Designed for the mobile community who were unable to attend this year’s MMA Forum New York (and as a useful summary for those that did) we asked three of our members to join us as we identify and discuss the key take-aways from the May 8-10th event. But, perhaps even more importantly, we ask what surprised them and which conversations at the event are most likely to prompt change, not just for their own business, but for the industry at large.
Protecting the privacy rights of users and continuing to deliver transparency and control is critical to any business. When privacy is breached, this not only affects business operations but more importantly, your end-users and their trust in you. In this new era of mobile in which customer data powers everything down the value chain, it's your responsibility to understand customer privacy and data protection.
While mobile marketers have become very adept at utilizing the power, reach, and momentum of the mobile device to drive product interest and inquiries, conversion to purchases has lagged far behind. Challenges such as checkout integration, mobile site optimization, and wallet adoption and acceptance have proved significant barriers to driving more prolific product purchases on mobile devices. This is evidenced by the fact that the click-to-purchase conversion rate for the desktop is four times higher than that on mobile devices.
With many years working closely with MMA members representing brand marketers, media agencies, publishers, networks and technology enablers, in addition to his own experience across the mobile ecosystem, Michael Becker will share his insight on what has allowed many MMA members to sustain a remarkably consistent competitive edge and how other companies can apply this best practice. Key topics to be discussed will include:
As you grow and build your audience-base, the focus on privacy management and consumer privacy becomes critical to your organization. Privacy management is equally important with the growth of mobile applications and digital editions.
