The report, Mobile Advertising Around the Globe: 2015 Annual Report, includes statistics and trends uncovered through an examination of the Marin Global Online Advertising Index.
“The rise of mobile is nothing short of astounding, but it’s important to remember most people jump between desktop and mobile several times when researching and buying products,” said Matt Ackley, CMO of Marin Software.
“Our new data reveals that advertisers clearly need to adopt strategies to reach consumers across multiple channels, using tools to accurately track attribution for mobile ads. Clicks on mobile ads don’t always lead to direct conversions, but often influence desktop or in-store purchases.”
