How Mobile Gaming’s Lessons Can Benefit All App Marketers

0

According to eMarketer, by 2016 mobile internet is poised to overtake desktop and reach $100 billion in ad spending. Very few businesses can turn their eyes away from the success of mobile as a platform these days. Whether it’s e-commerce, dating, entertainment, or lifestyle, all verticals are coming to the conclusion that, if they haven’t yet started taking mobile seriously, it’s about time they did.

With the experience comes the wisdom and there’s a lot everyone can gain from game publishers’ experience on the app stores. Here are the top 3 items all app publishers can learn from mobile gaming.

This doomsayer approach to the advertising professional’s role in the future may be a contributing factor in the slow growth of programmatic. After all, who wants to support the technology that may eventually put them out of a job?
