RELEVANCE RAISES RESPONSE Marketing is an ongoing contest for people's attention, and mobile provides the mechanism that, in the history of promotion, is the closest a brand has ever been able to get to its customer. With mobile, customers can act on any message at any time, no matter where they are. They can take immediate action to research, find, or buy something. When a consumer can act in the moment, her expectations are high and her patience is low. That makes the credibility and relevance of the mobile message of the utmost importance. Ultimately, brands that do the best job of engaging consumers with a relevant mobile message will win. Every digital strategy made today should be thinking tap first and click second. It's the only way for a brand to live "in the moment." We are living in the age of mobile.
