The easy trend for mobile ad agencies is the growth of smartphones and the growth of the mobile web. Advertising needs to increasingly gear itself, or at the least optimize itself, for mobile viewing. The other noticeable trend this news brings for the digital agency is about budget allocations. Increasingly apps need to be iOS and Android ready. Advertising with an iOS only platform will increasingly represent lost viewership.

It is important to keep in mind that non-mobile campaigns will also be affected as more and more people are on mobile devices and use those devices for regular internet access.
