How Mobile Can Add Value to Insert Programs

  • Why mobile is insert media’s future
  • How to add mobile to an insert program
  • Examples of mobile adding legs to insert media
  • Best-practice tips

Adaptability of Insert Media – The Key to Relevancy and Growth
Industry leaders will discuss how Insert Media has adapted to today’s fast changing times. Is Insert Media still fragmented by audience or are we now in a cycle where age has become the dominant factor? How does the consumer prefer to interact with a brand/product? Is it accurate to say “the younger audience wants electronic media while older groups still prefer print media”? Learn what others are doing to make Insert Media more adaptive to the needs of a specific audience and to become a key role player in integrated marketing campaigns.
