Welcome to TUNE’s inaugural Mobile Minute! In this episode: mobile ad-blocking is growing fast. How fast? Hit the play button to find out.
What is TUNE’s Mobile Minute?
Well, it’s no secret that video is exploding on mobile and social. We’re now watching 100 million hours of video daily on Facebook and eight billion videos daily on Snapchat. That doesn’t even take into account YouTube, which — although being challenged for video leadership — still dwarfs both of them in hours of engagement. (This sounds like a subject for a future Mobile Minute.)
So we’re doing regular video updates for marketing professionals who care about mobile. We’ll highlight recent research, share insights from the 2.2 billion devices TUNE’s technology touches, interview smart industry leaders. In doing so, we have one single goal: make you smarter, faster, about everything mobile.
Make Sure You See Them All
I thought you’d never ask:
Enjoy, and please give us feedback below in the comments, or on those social networks. We’re just starting out, so we’re probably doing lots right now that we’ll look back at in four months and laugh at. You can help make us smarter, quicker, too. (Oh, and if you have a content suggestion or question, add it to the comments as well, or ping me on Twitter.)
