Mobile Advertising's Gold Rush

November 16, 2009

Analysis by:Gordon Borrell, CEO,

Analysis of:Mobile Advertising Set To Soar | www.mediapost.com

Mobile advertising is definitely the new-new thing, but it sounds like the hype we heard when the Web was born as a graphical interface and banner ads started appearing in 1995. Be careful -- mobile advertising isn't going to produce overnight riches. For proof, look at your own mobile device. Where are they ads? And if you see any, tell me if they're prompting you to buy anything. Timing is everything, so before you jump in, read on.

You Tube: A dominant role in the movie ecosystem? Not Likely...

October 14, 2009

Analysis by:Alan Cohen, Vice President- Strategic Business Development,

Analysis of:YouTube Explores Renting Movies Online | www.businessweek.com

You Tube might capture some of the movie distribution market if and only if they are able to work closely with the studios to develop a model that is beneficial to both the studios and consumer. Stiff competition awaits You Tube from multiple angles, not all movie industry related. The consumer, and their behavior, is a key component that must not be overlooked.

Digital Distribution

September 26, 2009

Analysis by:Peter Roithmayr, Principal,

Analysis of:Sony's Latest Gaming Device Cuts Out Retailers | www.cnbc.com

Sony's latest gaming device does NOT cut out retailers as this titles infers. There is still plenty of business for retailers to capture in this category with the PSP Go including hardware and accessory sales as well as pre-paid game cards (similar to Apple's iTune gift cards).
