There is an endless debate when it comes to mobile advertising, and mostly this revolves around the effectiveness of mobile advertisement against other forms of advertisements.
While it is incorrect to say that conventional forms of advertising are reducing in popularity, mobile advertising has taken over in a big way.
Yet marketers still raise questions and concerns about digital advertising tactics and goals.
Someone in marketing once quoted, “you cannot find the right answers for the wrong questions”. The ad you create must be according to the interests of your key audience. This is the truth, and the only way to make your way to the heart of your consumers.

The average engagement of the ad was 39 seconds and around 39000 people interacted with the ad.
- Netflix
Recently this brand launched a mobile campaign to promote Season 3 of their popular show Black Mirror.
