The U.S. mobile ad market is poised to blow by desktop spending for the first time this year, according to a new eMarketer report in September 2015. Marketers will spend $30.45 billion on mobile ads in 2015, a 59% increase from 2014, across all industries worldwide. Additionally, US app install ad spending totaled $1.67 billion in 2014, and eMarketer expects this to reach $3 billion in 2015. The app marketing industry is at a tipping point with an ever-increasing need for education and resources geared specifically towards non-gaming mobile marketers.
The day-to-day challenges for non-gaming app marketers are distinctly different from games, and require specialized industry expertise and guidance in order for the industry to mature and grow to meet global market demand.
Dennis Mink, VP Marketing at Liftoff, said “We formed Mobile Heroes after learning that non-gaming app marketers across a variety of industries such as Dating, eCommerce, Education, Finance, Health and Travel, feel isolated and underserved, with so much of the focus on mobile gaming. All the while, app usage in those industries is experiencing explosive growth. Mobile Heroes is designed to provide critical support for non-gaming app marketers to grow and thrive in this space.”
Mobile Heroes provides marketers with a community to find insightful thought leader content, events, and best practice guides for marketing non-gaming apps. Confirmed Mobile Heroes include:
- Kevin Hsu, Touch of Modern
- Tim McCloud, PlayKids
- Iryna Newman, Invoice2go
- Jon Michaeli, Medisafe
- Chris Nguyen, Zoosk
- Nick Adtkins, SeatGeek
- Nat Robinson, MileIQ
- Loren Austin, FutureAdvisor
- Matt Sadofsky, AYI
