Who Are The Top Mobile Advertisers In The Second Quarter?

By Omar Rashad


The analytics company Adomic recently released its top ten list of mobile advertisers for the second quarter of the year. While in the list you will find the usual big techie suspects like Microsoft and Comcast, you will also find the big companies in other industries, including Progressive Insurance, mobile providers AT&T and Verizon, Capital One, LowerMyBills, Toyota and TransUnion.



Progressive Insurance has shot up the rankings to number one in Q2, which means they are going to continually grow as time goes on. They are seeing results and this is why they are putting more and more money into these campaigns.

Some of the other big names that have gone down this route include the likes of Microsoft, Verizon and Amazon. These are just some of the most important names and there are many more that are going down this route. It is a goldmine for businesses because there are less people ignoring these ads and that is wonderful for businesses.

If you're a company with a huge advertising budget, it would really pay if you spend some of your advertising budget in mobile advertising. Find a web developer who can create a great mobile ad so you can attract new customers.

Anyway, as more and more web developers are focusing their efforts on the mobile platform, it will only be a matter of time before we more creativity and experimentation. Hopefully we will see mobile ads that are fit for human consumption within the next 12 to 24 months. In the meantime, however, there's a new set of devices like the smart watch that requires the development of new approaches to marketing and creating advertising creatives.

In terms of the top spenders online, it is the retailers that come in first, although there are only a small number on the list (based on whether AT&T are counted or not). One interesting piece of data that the report showed was how the gap is widening between some advertisers when it comes to their budget for PC and mobile spending. The top single advertiser was American Express (for PC) in Q2, but it only came in as number thirty when it comes to mobile spending. This is something that the company is likely to address in the next quarter.
