When it comes to the best content to reach people on their mobile devices, “It’s no longer a question of ‘what’s compelling on mobile’ but simply, ‘what’s compelling?’” says Facebook’s Jim Underwood, Global Head of Entertainment Strategy. “Video consumption is exploding on mobile. In fact, on Facebook alone, over 3B video views occur every day. 65% of those views happen on mobile devices. If your most compelling marketing asset is a video, that same asset resonates on mobile.” To hear more from Cynopsis Digital Business Summit Keynoter Jim Underwood, join us on April 23rd at NYC’s Astor Center.
