• The future for mobile advertising seems very bright• Mobile is a powerful ad tool for all tactical, and sales driven
advertisement.• The mobile device is personal, close to the point of purchase and
give through apps possibilities to be very targeted on user situations and target groups.
• iPad is a lean back medium, and we try to make products and ads that meet these needs.
• The iPad as an ad tool give a very high effect and a new way to build brands digitally.
• For mobile platforms, VG is more and more ad focused instead of user payment oriented. We think advertisement will be the main future revenue stream.
