Convergence of Mobile & Social
• Mobile & Social are now tied together
• 74% of companies called the mobile/social convergence “very
beneficial” (2012 ANA/MediaVest Survey)
• However 35% felt their internal organization is too siloed to
take full advantage of mobile (same thing marketers felt about
social media a few years ago)

3 Mindsets Mobile Users Have
• Microtasking, when a user is engaged in short periods of
intensive activity
• Local, when a user seeks information about or to support them
in their current context
• Bored, when the user is looking for
distraction, novelty or entertainment
@JonWuebben
Mobile + Social Interaction ModelFive different types of interaction to be managed:
• Connecting to others
• Exposure, viewing information and activity within your network
• Sharing information with others
• Providing feedback on shared information or on a specific topic
• Communicating directly with others
@JonWuebben
Getting the Basics Done• Make your content readable on mobile (The Fix: Responsively designed website)
• Make your site feel like a mobile site– It’s all about touch, swipe, and that feeling of a full-screen, laid-back experience
– Readers tend to view more pages & spend far more time with your content
• Create custom, mobile-only assets– Softchoice recently put out an app that packaged all its various content assets into a single,
unified reading experience.
• Go for web, not native (most of the time)– Apple’s App Store is not always the best place to publish content(requires several steps for users
to access it)
– Go with a web app, or optimized website, instead of investing time and money on building a
closed-off native app
– All your SEO efforts & existing social traffic continues to contribute to your mobile visits.
• Get on the hot mobile social networks: Vine & Instagram– Where is your audience hanging out on mobile? Find their favorite apps, and start entertaining,
educating, and bringing your brand there (See GE’s Instagram Feed!)

@JonWuebben
Take Aways• Sync up mobile and social teams within the organization
– Intuit and Capital One have named one executive to lead both disciplines
• Create share-worthy content! (especially with video)
• Consider going mobile first for social media initiatives– Smaller palette forces you to focus on what’s most important
• Don’t confuse or frustrate your users– Sending users from a mobile social media campaign to a webpage that is not
mobile optimized is a problem
• Photo (and video) content is more important than ever
• Start NOW to take advantage of the mobile migration
• Think smaller with Facebook marketing– Focus on newsfeed content, imagery and ads
• Mobile and Social are forever intertwined
