The Samsung vs. Apple mobile battle continues: Stats

The latest update to our Internet Statistics Compendium saw some pretty fascinating mobile trends hit its pages this past month.

The mobile section of the report covers a wealth of data relating to our beloved handheld devices and how we are using them – from texting in the UK, to mobile internet use in Colombia.

But this time round, I wanted to highlight some interesting consumer stats for two of the world’s biggest mobile brands: Samsung and Apple.

In-app advertising: One user’s experience

Over the past few months our Internet Statistics Compendium has seen some increasingly detailed mobile advertising data hit its pages, thanks in part to some free-to-download research over at Kenshoo and IHS.

For today’s post I want to reflect on some of these trends and relate them to some of my own recent experiences of mobile ads – particularly the ever-surprising world of in-app advertising.

Today’s post, however, looks to the mobile arm of the compendium and specifically tablets.

People & Process: Four key takeaways from Digital Cream 2016

From my somewhat objective freelance position I feel comfortable admitting I thought this year’s Digital Cream in London was the best I have attended.

I had the pleasure of joining Censhare’s People and Process table moderated by Danielle Sheerin of Bright Cultures. 

We were blessed with the somewhat daunting sub-title: Agile working, collaborative tools, social enterprise and cloud based marketing tech.

How Western mobile apps are making headway in China: stats

The Chinese mobile landscape is a fascinating market to study.

On the first hand we see a vast population over a very large and diverse geography.

This has been the perfect condition for fast mobile growth in recent years, even nearing 100% penetration as we enter 2016.

The rise and rise of ad blockers: Stats

Ad blocking is a major talking point at the moment.

Apple’s recent allowance of ad blockers into its app store and a freshly updated version of the popular Adblock service which allows ‘Acceptable Ads’ have kept the subject in the limelight.
