For several past years, some of the world’s giant brands embraced much of their advertising campaigns on traditional media such as television, radio, and print in order to achieve their branding and publicity goals within targeted marketplaces. Such advertising practice demanded high budgets out of company’s funding – all very well, it seemed of no concern for the world’s top 100 brands. They could have invested to the highest advertising budget on earth for the sake of global branding competition.

Question has been asked; what about the millions of small and medium enterprises left in the backseat wandering for global ambitions? Obviously, it became indistinguishable from ordinary marketers whose marketing potential revolved solely to the local audience due to cost issues hindering them. Not until the Internet breakthrough in the 1990’s surprised the marketing hopefuls who immediately embarked on online advertising to globalize business penetration at minimal expenditure. The era of online advertising has become an initial statement of how brands and consumers get connected around the digital society.

However, the human’s creative and innovative thinking never stops. The mobile technology came in with massive impact from simple wireless service offers (SMS) to the arising complex propositions of mobile uses with the advance tools and applications currently available. Research firms, on other hand, felt this empowering trend and conducted extensive research into mobile technology, its current behavior, and its future global position. Mobile technology, gradually, has become a global buzz which awakened the advertising world, to realize just how far a business could creep into vast audiences using a personalized medium.

Several mobile-related application advancements come onto the scene to include the possibilities of bringing RSS feeds and blogs to mobile, videos and movie trailers to mobile, creation of mobile microsites, web banners to mobile, customization of cross media tools (widgets), web widget mobile campaigns, and bridging mobile to social media.

The advertising world is shaping an enticing pattern on how it evolves and where it will go by engaging in mobile campaign tactics. If mobile campaigns are workable with simple phone clicks, therefore, businesses and the general public will soon be addicted to this new mobile tools and applications craze.
