A recent article on B&T  reported that advertising spending on mobile is predicted to increase by more than 65% in the next year.  This data comes from the PWC Global Entertainment and Media Outlook for 2012 – 2016.  This is of course off a fairly low base, but the data suggests the tipping point is almost here for local mobile ad spending.

According to the B&T article, PWC explained that mobile ad spending in Australia remains modest because only 25% of websites are optimised for mobile. That suggests the next few years are going to be huge for mobile ad spending. Once organisations get to grips with optimising, building and supporting for mobile, the need to generate traffic from multiple devices will increase exponentially.
