Marketers have placed a significantly bigger focus this year on mobile native advertisements as an alternative to static banner ads. Although fragmentation and scale remain issues, the value proposition of integrated ads that do not feel intrusive is catching on with both advertisers and consumers.

“Consumers have a deeply personal relationship with their mobile devices and so there’s a higher expectation for how brands reach them through this medium,” said Deborah Powsner, vice president of marketing and consumer insights at SessionM, Boston. “Mobile ads need to feel like a seamless, relevant piece of the experience.”
