  • A recent study projects that mobile advertising will become a $20 billion business in the future.
  • However, Monday Note questions that assumption given the challenges of mobile advertising — such as smaller screen size, diminished attention spans, and privacy concerns.

  • Monday Note examines the ineffective approaches to mobile advertising thus far and suggests the future will require more than simply resizing content to fit a different screen.
  • “If the industry hasn’t cracked the mobile advertising code after five years of energetic and skillful work it’s because there is no code to crack,” suggests the post. “The ‘$20B Opportunity’ is a mirage.”
