The Power of Data As the Next Big Thing in Content Marketing @HBR 

The Power of Data As the Next Big Thing in Content Marketing @HBR  | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
The diminishing effectiveness of conventional advertising and the rise of social media have led more and more brands to embrace content marketing. More and more companies are seeing themselves not just as advertisers, but as publishers, launching digital newsrooms, podcasts, and other forms of branded content in order keep their brands, perspectives, and value propositions in front of customers.
Farid Mheir's insight:

I wrote about this in the past numerous times and it is great to see HBR and others recognize this important trend: companies are sitting on huge amounts of information they can use to extract meaningful information and share it with their clients and employees to attract and retain them.

 

For example, look at jawbone and how they do it

In 5 years, the average American will use 22GB of mobile data per month, report says

In 5 years, the average American will use 22GB of mobile data per month, report says | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
In 5 years, we'll be using a lot more mobile data than we do now.
Farid Mheir's insight:

Just one example of the huge rise in mobile phones. Given recent State of the Internet report that indicates Internet growth is slowing down, and that mobile phone sales have levelled off as well, this chart reminds us all that people are starting to use their phones in many different context. So even if growth stalls, the usage and data consumption will continue to grow for a while.

 

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

If you propose interesting uses for mobile phones, your clients and employees will use them. And they expect to use more and more in the future. So waht have you planned in your digital strategy to leverage, extend, grow the usage of mobile phones for clients and employees?

Canada has long been an important country for app developers. It’s often where developers first launch their apps – to test and solicit feedback before distributing their apps globally. So, what makes this market unique in the mobile ecosystem? In Flurry from Yahoo’s latest report, we take a closer look at Canadian mobile usage to understand where it’s similar and where it’s different from the rest of the world.

Most mobiles apps have very bad retention rates, except messaging apps via @flurry

Most mobiles apps have very bad retention rates, except messaging apps via @flurry | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
In our latest analysis, we found that retention rates of messaging apps out-performed the average of all apps. Messaging app retention is 1.9 times better than the average for one-month retention and 5.6 times better than the average for 12-month retention. The chart below shows the average retention of messaging apps compared with the the average retention of all apps over one month, two month, three months, six months and 12 months. Here we define retention as users who launched the app “n” months after install. The below chart considers new user cohorts from from January 2014 - January 2015.
Farid Mheir's insight:

I would argue the real message in these charts is that most mobile apps have failed to deliver a good user experience or are very badly created/updated. With every company going mobile, this chart should speak volume to any executive about to spend 100K$ or more for its next app.
