And 27% use no analytics to measure their mobile campaigns.

mobile ad performance

According to statistics released today by Bango, the mobile analytics and payment specialist, 83% of brands do not use mobile specific analytic tools, leading to inaccurate data on campaigns performance. Of those that do implement some form of campaign analytics, only 17% said they’d sourced a specialised mobile solution designed to measure mobile user behaviour accurately and consistently. Even more surprising 27% admit to not implementing any analytics in their mobile campaigns.

Bango surveyed over 100 participants in a webinar run in late 2009, including brands, agencies and specialist mobile providers. Over 90% of these brands said they will increase their mobile advertising investment in 2010. Global spending on mobile advertising in 2009 was US$500 million (according to Juniper Research).

startups in the spotlightReviewing my experience at London’s SeedCamp and BizSpark, two leading events aimed at getting young companies mentorship and investment, it is glaringly obvious that start-ups don’t execute pitches as well as they could. In the business world, if you don’t successfully persuade an audience of your value, it’s worse than not having presented at all. Why am I so sure that start-ups need careful preparation to prevent dangerous mistakes in performance?
