Mobile is "tail wagging the dog" of business transformation: Forrester Research

Mobile is "tail wagging the dog" of business transformation: Forrester Research | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Although $100 billion was purchased last year using mobile devices, brands are still facing a number of challenges that inhibit meeting consumers’ needs, according to a Forrester researcher at Mobile Marketer’s Mobile FirstLook: Strategy 2015 conference.

During the “Forrester Research: The Mobile Mind Shift: Closing the Capability Gap” session, the most daunting challenge presented was that many marketers have approached mobile in the same fashion as they would a PC, by shrinking Web experiences onto a smaller screen. Although this tactic is not necessarily wrong, mobile strategies need to be retooled because there is a fundamental difference between the way consumers interact with smartphones and tablets compared to their PCs.

“Mobile is not a PC, okay, they’re not a PC. With that said, 62 percent of companies still treat mobile as a slimmed down version of what they design for a PC,” said Julie Ask, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research....

Human interactions are key to brand loyalty and building a strong consumer base, and these mobile apps allow for two-way conversations.


Snapchat, which launched in the iTunes App Store in September 2011, is popular with a much younger demographic than some marketing execs are used to, but it takes little or no cost to interact with customers by way of snaps. Compare that to other pricey forms of old-school advertising, and that’s a major plus...

Snapchat is really big today, i myself use this app with my friends. This is a great way to get a message out among many people. The Snapchat app allows you to take a picture, write a short message and draw on it. You can then select how long this picture will be viewed for and send it to select friends. Snapchat has now added another feature called "Mys story" You can make a collage of pictures that will show on someones screen for up to 24 hours, after that the pictures are gone forever. This would be a great app to work with as a PR agent.

Victoria Aupont's curator insight, May 1, 2014 12:06 PM

This article was about eight apps that helps with social media marketing. Social Media marketing is a growing effective medium that brands are using to stay engaged and connected with their target audience. Since digital marketing plays a huge role of reaching out to potential and old customers across the world, these are useful tips to help a social media employee. As the networking world continues to grow there are many useful and un-useful apps and businesses are wondering which one is the most effective and this article cuts through the clutter of all of them to find the apps that contributed to financial success with businesses.


Hoot suite is an app that acts as a virtual personal assistant that manages latest updates from the company. With this app you can set up a date and time to send out a tweet, this is beneficial because it helps businesses reach the right customers at the right time. This helps when marketing a campaign and new advertisements. LocalVox is an app similar to hoot suite to manage promotions and brand building tasks.it also helps to view business ratings and reviews. Tweet bot is also similar to these apps by helping managing heavy traffic and send out messages without having to type manually. 


Heyo and Chirpify are apps helpful to business to sell their products easily with no hassle. Heyo enables potential customers to make a purchase directly on Facebook reducing the risk of missed opportunities. Chirpify helps customers buy products with just using the hash tag #buy. This is beneficial because the new customer has just started a public conversation which will lead to more publicity and more buys.


Another useful app is called mentions; this app helps monitor and analyze the impact of an online business. It helps keeps track of website performance, reply to post via email or mobile and communicate with customers on the go. Last but not least is an app called Evernote, which allows you to organize your notes, thoughts, ideas, share files, and photos within instant reach. This is beneficial because it helps you remember important things that you do not want to forget.


Being a future PR and social media savvy user this article interested me a lot because it will help me stand out from the next candidate if I know the most effective tools to use to promote a company or brand. From previous PR crisis, I know that Hootsuite is an app I need to be very cautious of using because many social media users accidentally posted inappropriate things from the app on accident. From other company’s mistakes, I know not to even associate my personal social media pages with this app to avoid any mishaps. As social media marketing is growing as a PR professional I need to grow with it and be on top of all of the useful tools I can use. I tied this article back to chapter 8 because to have a good relationship with a consumer you have to use appealing and useful tactics. These eight apps are useful marketing tools that can help grow a brand and reach their target audience.
