Mobile: No Fluff Needed

Diving into 2010 many are curious to know where mobile is headed. I recently came across an article with no fluff, just statistics. It did more then explain where mobile has been, where it’s going, and how fast people have adapted to mobile innovation.

Non-voice activity is considered to be texting (SMS), emailing, taking photos, playing [...]

Mobile and Action Sports

Being a surfer and an advocate of mobile, I had to comment on the great job Surfline did with their mobile website. Swell directions and wave conditions are always changing and are never the same. I always joke that a surfer is an amateur weatherman because we are always tracking storms, wind patterns, and tide [...]

Fail to Plan… Plan to Fail!

My title is a little dramatic, but after launching numerous campaigns at the speed of light, I have to give my 2 cents! I’ve gotten pretty familiar with the fire drill approach of a few ad agencies that expect mobile campaigns to be planned and launched in the course of a single day. Now they’ll [...]

FCC Stepping In

The FCC announced its Wireless Innovation and Investment Notice of Inquiry (NOI) late August, catching mobile agencies in a spindle of perplexity and enthusiasm.

Stating that their intent is to merely gather facts about the wireless industry, the FCC will be focusing on research, innovation, and consumer protection (truth-in-billing). In other words, they will be looking [...]

Are we just a “Mobile Marketing Agency”? (nope!)

Textopoly does not fit into a neat box in the mobile world. Over the years I’ve tried to find the most accurate way to describe what it is that we do. And over theses same years mobile has grown dramatically in regulations, technology, creativity, etc. – and we’ve grown with it. We’ve stayed fluid and [...]
