Only 10 percent of U.S. mobile phone users are interested in receiving advertising, but that is a big enough market to prompt ad spending of $4.8 billion by 2011, up from $421 million in 2006, according to eMarketer’s Incentives Key to Mobile Marketing Study, released last week.
Of the 10 percent who are interested in ads, 24 percent would like to see video ads, which compares with 56 percent for text messages and 40 percent for picture messages.
Since mobile phones are the only interactive medium where users pay for the cost of network access and the content it delivers, they need incentives to accept advertising. Free applications, subsidized airtime and discount coupons are the best incentives, according to the report.

Kerstein said that he was the beneficiary of brilliant and generous collaborators, citing, among others, director Jon M. Chu, cinematographer Alice Brooks, and visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman. The editor added it always helps to have stellar acting performances, noting that hearing Cynthia Erivo, for example, sing live was a revelation. Kerstein recalled meeting Chu some eight years ago on a “blind Skype date” and it was an instant “bromance”--which began on Crazy Rich Asians, and then continued on such projects as the streaming series Home Before Dark and the feature In The Heights. Kerstein observed that Chu is expert in providing collaborators with... Read More
