Mobility has become so integrated into people’s lives. And even though phones are now personal computers, it’s no longer about one specific device or channel. The “traditional path to purchase” has exploded with increased mobility, and it’s now about giving consumers the “confidence of being connected.” And mobile is the gateway for marketers to tap into the things that matter most to consumers.

Mobility in the next five years will continue to be about a consumer-driven experience. This means marketers must earn the right to be apart of a consumer’s life and contribute value to its customer’s social equity. One of the best ways for marketers to achieve this is to make “consumer data a second hobby” while another way is to focus on today’s mobile trends already taking shape.

Check out the below seven maturing patters of mobility marketing.

1. Content Flow: Hitting people with information that they’re already looking for (i.e native advertising). Take for instance BuzzFeed that has 7.7 million view on mobile out of 9.6 million overall views. Be part of the conversation.

2. Cultivate inspiration: Brands need to build partnership to find something meaningful to say. Mobility enables consumers to find or delete what’s relevant to their experience.

3.Make the ad network the community: “At the end of the day we all work for Facebook,” Hewitt’s friend recently reminded him. And with a 19.91 percent share of industry mobile ads, it’s a community to look to for guidance in the space.

4.Content is the advertising and the story on consumer’s terms: A good example is Red Bull, which has created an entire media platform around the culture of its consumers.

5.Mobile Search: A good example for marketers to gauge, is the new crop of lifestyle apps popping up as a good point of entry.

6. Advertisers connected across the customer journey: Walgreens has been successful with this tactic by attracting teens with it’s “Beauty Favorites” campaign.

7. When its already threaded into our lifestyle: Starbucks started its “Tweet-a-Coffee” campaign on Spotify that’s already generated 96K tweets and counting.
