: Mobile Media Day 2010

While presenting portfolios rich with news or dedicated applications, mobile websites or web applications, the lecturers at Mobile Media Day (May 18 & 19 in Amsterdam) also shared their own questions with the 85 delegates.

 

Mobile : Sharing best practices

More than 80 percent of the billions of applications that will be downloaded this year by mobile phone users will continue to be offered free of charge and belong to the “entertainment” category. The offer is too limited to attract all mobile users. Media companies can get things moving here. Some have started already and we will relate in this best practices corner their experiences.

Mobile trends:: The coming decade

Rudy De Waele is a well-known mobile blogger and event organizer. He decided this year to ask many contributors to publish their thoughts about the coming mobile decade. This slide show sums up the contributions. It is remarkable and very inspiring. 

Mobile Trends 2020

 

Mobile Web Usage: Trends 2009-2010

Every month Quantcast measures more than 200 billion requests for Internet content. A growing portion of these requests originate from networked mobile devices. The boundary between mobile and PC (e.g the future tablets) is blurring, and Quantcast expects that it will push ‘web access on the go’ to new levels in 2010.

Intensifying Smartphone Competition: Nexus One, first Google phone

Google announced its Nexus One wireless handsets powered by Android 2.1. The phone is manufactured by HTC. It will rely on Google online marketing power to make its way to consumers.

 

What's the strategy for Google in the mobile world?

This is not only about becoming successful and profitable in the handset business...

“To date, Google has pushed for three main avenues to enter the mobile arena..." read how CreditSights' Senior Analyst -Telecom and Telecom Suppliers- Zhiping Zhao comments the launch.

“Google is serving its own direct interests: grow the use of the web (mobile or otherwise) in order to continue to grow its revenues to 98% advertising. How to do this: lower the entry barrier (= handset + subscription) by starting with the handset, as it is the only one of the two components within its reach at present".
says Didier Durand, head of Architecture & Technology / Business Engineering at Publicitas who believes in a promising long term strategy (his full article in French)

Must read: The six immutable laws of mobile business

“Professor Sugai is probaly the most knowledgable person in the world about the true mobile consumer beahviour. No hype, no joking, just a great man with a excellent perfomance in stage - now in a book format! Philip actually makes a complicated eco system as the mobile world is, into a understandalble logic. The notion of Simplexity is innovative and true for more than mobile. Smart and excellent book" says Stig Nordqvist, WAN-IFRA Director Emerging digital platforms and Business development.
Philip Sugai will speak at our 8th Mobile Media Day.

Mobile Media Day 2010: Stimmen von der Konferenz

Die 85 Teilnehmer des Mobile Media Day (MMD) informierten sich über Best-Practice-Erfahrungen im Bereich Mobile Marketing und waren natürlich auch daran interessiert, mehr über die bereits gestarteten oder geplanten iPad-Strategien zu erfahren.
Die neue Apple-Werbeplattform iAd, die Anfang Juli an den Start gehen soll, war ebenfalls Diskussionsthema für ein Publikum, das die Möglichkeiten der Werbung im Mobilmedium nutzen will, um mit mobilen Plattformen Geld zu verdienen.
 

Kurz nach der Konferenz gab Apple bekannt, dass es für die iAd-Plattform bereits Zusagen von Werbegeldern für 2010 in Höhe von 60 Millionen US-Dollar gebe. „Sollte man iAd als Gefahr für die Verlage betrachten?”, fragte Stig Nordqvist, Director Emerging Digital Platforms & Business Development bei WAN-IFRA und Leiter der Konferenz.

• Nach den Worten von Florian Gmeinwieser, Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung der deutschen Mediaagentur Plan.Net Media, wird „iAd es den Werbetreibenden ermöglichen, attraktive demografische Zielgruppen zu erreichen“. Gegenüber den Zuhörern erklärte er aber auch, dass sie als Mediaagentur gegen die technischen und wirtschaftlichen Regeln seien, die Apple bei iAd vorgebe.
• Diese Bedenken teilt auch Omar Hamoui, CEO von AdMob, der am 9. Juni Folgendes schrieb: „Apple hat neue Bedingungen für Entwickler vorgeschlagen, die – falls sie so verabschiedet werden – es App-Entwicklern untersagen würden, Werbelösungen von AdMob und Google auf dem iPhone zu verwenden. Diese werbebezogenen Vorgaben betreffen sowohl Unternehmen mit konkurrierenden mobilen Technologien (wie Google) als auch Unternehmen, deren Hauptgeschäft nicht die Bereitstellung mobiler Anzeigen ist. Damit könnten Zehntausende von Entwicklern vor der Situation stehen, dass sich ihre Einnahmen verringern oder gar ganz versiegen. Die Apple-Bedingungen treffen sowohl große als auch kleine Entwickler dadurch, dass sie deren Auswahl an Möglichkeiten, wie sie am besten Geld verdienen können, drastisch einschränken. Und nachdem viele kostenlose und niedrigpreisige Apps werbefinanziert sind, könnten sich diese Bedingungen auch negativ auf die Endkunden auswirken.“

Die Stimme von Apple

Beim MMD wurden in diesem Jahr viele interessante iPhone-Applikationen präsentiert. Stig Nordqvist nutzte in diesem Zusammenhang auch die Gelegenheit, um von einem kürzlichen Gespräch mit Paul Burford, Technologie-Botschafter von Apple, zu berichten, mit dem er im Rahmen des Executive Programme eRev zusammengetroffen war: 

  • „Zu den Dingen, die häufig vergessen werden, zählen ein paar ganz grundlegende Sachen: Entwerfen Sie ein ansprechendes App-Icon für das iPhone und registrieren Sie die App richtig“, so berichtete Nordqvist.
  • „Eine der Empfehlungen von Apple im Hinblick auf die Entwicklung von Apps lautet meist, dass man mit möglichst wenigen Funktionen beginnen, diese aber richtig machen sollte (wird damit der gewünschte Zweck erreicht? ist das Programm ansprechend?). Dann kann man später ein Update bringen, das etwas mehr kann. Wichtig bei der Konzeption einer App ist, eine klare Vorstellung von deren Einsatzzweck zu haben: eine qualitativ anspruchsvolle App sollte umfangreiche Inhalte bieten, durch die man navigieren kann, und auf die unmittelbare Nutzung hin ausgerichtet sein; eine Service-App (z.B. mit Wirtschaftsnachrichten) sollte mit grafischen Elementen gestaltet sein, ohne Scrollen auskommen und eine einfache Navigation aufweisen; und im Unterhaltungsbereich sollte eine App grafisch ansprechend gestaltet sein und vor allem auf Interaktion hin ausgelegt sein. Man sollte sich beim Entwicklungsprozess nicht daran orientieren, welche Extras man gerne verwirklichen möchte, sondern auf die wesentlichen Fragen achten: Worin liegt das eigene Differenzierungsmerkmal, welchen Ansatz will man verfolgen und welches Publikum erreichen? Die Leute lieben Neues und Verbesserungen, und bei Freigabe eines Updates kann man die Nutzer über die Einsatzmöglichkeiten informieren. Nutzen Sie die Möglichkeit von In App Purchase zur Generierung zusätzlicher Einnahmen durch Impulskäufe, aber bieten Sie in Ihrem Store innerhalb der App auch kostenlose Inhalte, weil Sie damit das Interesse der Kunden gewinnen.“
     

„Zeitzonen“ und Simplexity
Zwei der Empfehlungen von Philipp Sugai, dem Leiter des Mobile Consumer Lab an der Internationalen Universität von Japan, sorgten bei den Konferenzteilnehmern aus dem Mobilsektor ganz besonders für Gesprächsstoff. Zum einen schlägt er eine Festlegung von „Zeitzonen“ als Grundlage für die Konzeption von Diensten und Anwendungen vor: „Unser heutiges Leben ist sehr schnell-lebig und in hohem Maße von Terminen bestimmt. Wir hetzen von einem Termin zum anderen und wechseln zwischen Arbeit und Zuhause, Arbeit und Freizeit hin und her, doch es gibt dabei immer auch die ‚Zeiten dazwischen’ (In-Between Times). Die Inhalte und Dienste, die wir in diesen ‚Zwischenzeiten’ nutzen, müssen knapp, gut verständlich, einfach zugänglich und so konzipiert sein, dass man leicht unterbrechen kann. Am anderen Ende des Zeitzonen-Spektrums gibt es die „Premiumzeit“ (Golden Time), die gekennzeichnet ist durch eine längere, gezielte Nutzung des Mobilmediums. Inhalte und Dienste für diese Zeitzone können mehr Breite und Tiefe haben. Aus Sicht des Konsumenten kann es sich bei gleicher Tageszeit und gleichem Ort mal um ‚Zwischenzeiten’ oder mal um ‚Premiumzeiten’ handeln – je nach verfügbarer Zeit und Nutzerbedürfnis. Zwar schätzen die Nutzer die Inhalte und Dienste für ‚Zwischenzeiten’, doch das was für die ‚Premiumzeit’ konzipiert ist, sollte Vorrang haben.“ Ein weiteres zentrales Prinzip, auf das er abhebt, ist das der Simplexity: „Der Durchschnittsnutzer ist kein Technikfreak. Simplexity im Mobilbereich sollte die Technologie, integrierte Dienste, intelligente Analyse (Präferenzen, verhaltensbasiert) und eine an den Bedürfnissen und Fähigkeiten der Nutzer orientierte Bedienoberfläche umfassen.“

Im Folgenden finden Sie verschiedene Abbildungen zu einigen weiteren Themen, die in diesem Jahr beim Mobile Media Day zur Sprache kamen.

 

Edipresse nutzt alle Möglichkeiten des Mobilmediums. Marc Lamarche, der Verantwortliche für die mobilen Dienste von Edipresse, legte den Schwerpunkt seiner Präsentation auf mobile Werbung: „Die meisten unserer Inhalte sind kostenlos zugänglich, mit Ausnahme von zwei Nischenprodukten. Und das wird auch so bleiben, weil wir vom Potenzial mobiler Werbung überzeugt sind.“

  • Nischen-Apps haben zwar vielleicht eine begrenzte Reichweite, doch damit lassen sich spezielle Publikumszielgruppen ansprechen, an denen die Werbetreibenden interessiert sind. Beim MMD wurden zwei Beispiele hierfür vorgestellt: Femina von Edipresse und AutoPilot von Gannett/USA Today
     
  • Nach Angaben von Matt Jones, Vice President Mobile Strategy & Operations Gannett Digital, schätzen Werbekunden die Effizienz von vertikalen Applikationen: „Die 40.000 regelmäßigen Nutzer unserer AutoPilot-App sind beispielsweise eine attraktive Zielgruppe für einige unserer Werbekunden.“

 

 

Matt Jones ging beim MMD eingehend auf die kürzlich eingeführte iPad-App von USA Today und das entsprechende Geschäftsmodell ein. Wenige Wochen nach dem Start dieser iPad-App in den USA verzeichnete USA Today bereits 375.000 Downloads.
„Unser Ziel ist es, ein größeres Publikum zu erreichen und dafür zu sorgen, dass die Nutzer mehr Zeit im Umfeld unserer Marke verbringen. Es geht nicht um die Nutzung einer anderen Plattform.“

Die RCS-Gruppe, die u.a. die Zeitungen Corriere Della Sera und Gazzetta Dello Sport herausgibt, bietet ihren Kunden die Möglichkeit, auf die Inhalte ihrer Tageszeitungen per iPhone zuzugreifen, aber auch über Apps für andere Mobilgeräte, die über die Online-Stores von Nokia (OVI), Blackberry, Vodafone und Samsung erhältlich sind. Federico Vittadello, Leiter für Mobile-Dienste bei RCS, ist mit den ersten Ergebnissen der in diesem Jahr eingeführten kostenpflichtigen Angebote zufrieden.

Das iPad ist nach Ansicht von Federico Vittadello jedoch etwas Anderes. Dies erläuterte mit der folgenden Darstellung:

Research: Android: Google's answer to mobile

On the face of it there’s not much to interest publishers about a new mobile phone operating system (OS) – after all, few users would be able to tell you what OS they have on their phone. So why should you care about Android? The ‘G-word,’ that’s why because nobody can afford to ignore it when Google gets behind a move to open up the mobile market. Read more.

Research: Mobile Services Special Report

Events: Mobile Media Day

Seventy-five representatives of the mobile and news publishing worlds converged in Amsterdam on 21 April for IFRA's Mobile Media Day conference. The message was clear: Mobile for publishers might still be in its embryonic stages, but you'd better move now or the train will run you over. IFRA's Mari Pascual captured the essence of the conference at this multiblog.

It’s all over the press this week: The Wall Street Journal will start asking for money to read its stories on BlackBerrys, iPhones and other mobile devices. It is working against a trend that shows that media companies are massively embracing mobile devices, but few dare to ask money for their news applications.

Without a shred of doubt, 2009 has been the year of the e-reading device, and new models will come out quickly next year. But computer manufacturers are trying hard to shift consumer attention to the tablet PC.

Apple’s tablet is still a rumor, as is Microsoft’s in-process "tablet-booklet" Courier (in the "late prototype" stage of development, according to the CNET gadget blog). But ICD has released concrete information on its Vega Tablet, which will run Android 2.0:

CES (Consumer Electronics Show) Las Vegas, the world's largest consumer technology trade show is starting today (7 January). Two new e-reading devices, the Skiff Reader and the QUE proReader, developed with the press industry in mind, will be launched at the event.

The good news is that media are massively “embracing the iPhone”, the worrying aspect is that not a lot dare to ask money for their applications. Following the announcement mid-July by Apple that customers have downloaded more than 1.5 billion applications in just one year from its App Store (the largest applications store with more than 65,000 apps), Ben Lorica, Senior Analyst at O'Reilly Media, checked the data warehouse of all apps available in the U.S. iTunes app store that O’Reilly maintains.

It might be that Apple just made life easier for publishers pondering if they should start developing for smaller-sized devices.
Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs commented during the company’s quarterly earnings call yesterday (Monday 18) that he did not believe on an “avalanche of tablets” about to enter the market: “It appears to be just a handful of credible entrants, not exactly an avalanche”.

In U.S, Android, with its open platform, appears to have the best chance of mounting a comeback against Apple's platform. “With a wave of 18 more Android handsets shipping in 2009, the chase pack is growing and looking for signs of fatigue from the leader” reports Peter Farago, Vice-president marketing of Flurry.

Few knew what to expect when Inmaculada Martinez of Stradbroke Advisors took to the stage to talk about 'Positive Deviants and the Agents of Change' but what followed was a lively canter through media predictions and Generation Y – the generation that grew up with digital and which in 2010 will outnumber the baby boomers. 90 per cent of them have joined a social network and with that social media has overtaken porn as the number one activity online.

Philippe Jannet, CEO of Le Monde Interactif talked about that paper's mobile experience. Le Monde already has a paid for model online with a subscription scheme that sees some content published for free and other services, including the right to contribute UGC charged for. Jannet mused on the idea of charging users to write for the paper as he didn't invent the model but it works and ads sell for more on subscriber pages than free ones.

Now that the debate about micropayments for online content is back and at full steam, USA Today Publisher David Hunke thinks mobile news is ideally suited for this strategy as well, reports AP. “I’m not sure we realized what we had,” he said about the successful iPhone application of the daily. “I think that is a value readers will be willing to pay for.”

The iPad is a crystal clear reminder of the news industry's failure to produce an effective news show online. The challenge facing newspapers today is not only to embrace the iPad's abilities in sophisticated apps, but to learn how to turn links into a consistent, continuous news show across all devices: web, mobile, and tablet. As the eyeballs leave the newspapers' web sites, this can be a major step in bringing them back.
