The explosion of mobile internet usage has enabled the mobile advertising opportunity, but as most advertising planners know, truly engaging advertising doesn't work in silos, it works together.

  • 30% of mobile internet users also watch TV whilst browsing via their mobile.
  • Of these consumers 91% either use their mobile to research or directly purchase items via their mobile phone.
  • Contrary to popular belief most mobile internet interactions happen in the home

To provide a global perspective the initial section of this report looks into data across: UK, US, Brazil, Indonesia, Egypt, Singapore, India, South Africa and Qatar.
