Daniel Yomtobian Talks about the Future of Mobile Advertising Spend

Sep 20, 2023

Key Takeaways

  • The majority of marketing professionals do not expect severe disruption to their brand and content strategies despite the current subdued mood, according to a survey conducted by Bynder.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a sharp downward revision of financial projections in all industries, but the mobile advertising segment is expected to fare better and recover faster.
  • Lockdowns and social distancing measures have increased reliance on mobile devices, boosting digital content consumption and allowing the mobile advertising segment to avoid excessive disturbance.
  • In the first quarter of 2020, mobile's share of global ad spending reached 51%, while desktop ad spending fell by 25%. The preference for mobile is expected to remain, driving advertisers to focus on mobile in the long term.
  • eMarketer projects a minimum 6% drop in US mobile ad spending during the second quarter of 2020, with a 10% year-on-year decline being more likely. However, the relative share of different platforms and formats is not expected to dramatically change.

Despite the subdued mood at present, the majority of marketing professionals do not foresee severe disruption to their brand and content strategies, Daniel Yomtobian points out, citing the results of a survey conducted by Bynder.

Los Angeles, California, United States - September 20, 2023 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

The last ten years have been amazing for digital advertising, and its future started looking brighter during the rise of e-commerce, video streaming sites, and socials. However, the most crucial contributor to the robust growth of the digital ads market has undoubtedly been the accelerating shift to mobile devices, which prompted marketers to embrace strategies that prioritize this channel. “Mobile has become the primary focus of brand campaigns, and analysts have been consistently upbeat about the outlook for this market segment. Unfortunately, the current pandemic has forced a sharp downward revision of financial projections across all industries as many companies struggle to stay afloat and take drastic measures to weather the coming recession,” comments Daniel Yomtobian, a prominent entrepreneur and business leader in the online media space. “While total advertising expenditure in 2020 is estimated to shrink by roughly $20 billion to $691.7 billion, there are indications that the mobile segment will fare better and recover faster than the rest.”

Lockdowns and social distancing measures have led to an even greater reliance on mobile devices and further boosted digital content consumption, which has allowed the mobile advertising segment to avoid excessive disturbance, Daniel Yomtobian notes. According to an analysis by PubMatic, the pandemic “has shifted consumer behavior towards mobile,” pushing its share of global ad spending to 51% in the first quarter of 2020. Moreover, it fell by 15% versus a 25% drop for desktop ad spending. “While recent surges in viewership will likely recede through the summer and as stay-at-home orders ease, the preference for mobile will remain, which will drive advertisers to mobile over the long term,” commented PubMatic senior executive Paulina Klimenko.

Influential analytics group eMarketer has been keeping a close watch on the advertising market, adjusting its forecasts periodically to reflect the impact of the pandemic. Its most recent revision features a projected drop of minimum 6% in US mobile ad spending during the second quarter of 2020 although the company sees a 10% year-on-year decline as more likely, and its expectations for the rest of the year are also significantly tempered. “Even so, the relative share of different platforms and formats will likely not dramatically change from our March 6 forecast […] Prior to the coronavirus, we expected US mobile ad spend to grow 20.7% to $105.34 billion in 2020, which would mean that mobile ad spend would account for more than two thirds (68.1%) of digital ad spend. We now believe any growth this year in mobile ad spend will be small, if it happens at all.” Despite the subdued mood at present, the majority of marketing professionals do not foresee severe disruption to their brand and content strategies, Daniel Yomtobian points out, citing the results of a survey conducted by Bynder. According to it, 57% of respondents are bracing for a lasting impact, but they do not expect it to be a transformative one. 

Starting out as a web designer, Daniel Yomtobian quickly realized that his true passion is online advertising. Considered a pioneer and innovator in this space, he has led several business ventures to success, of particular note being Advertise.com – a PPC network dedicated to helping advertisers and publishers maximize their ROI and monetize their solutions. In 2014, C-Suite Quarterly described him as a “…young leader [who] will continue to play an important role in shaping the online world of tomorrow.” Among his other accolades is the SFV Business Journal Top 40 Under 40 Award. Daniel Yomtobian studied business marketing at California State University-Northridge.

“I’m not trying to be a flirt, like in my twenties,” American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz says, laughing. “I’m almost 50, and that’s not the vibe I’m putting out on stage any more.” It has been seven years since Mraz performed at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre as part of his “Good Vibes” Asia tour. Since that visit in 2019, Mraz has kept himself agile, releasing the full-length reggae record Look for the Good (2020), embracing disco-pop on the 2023 album Mystical Magical...

Godzilla Minus Zero review: visually stunning Japanese monster sequel is full of surprises

3.5/5 stars If the runaway success of 2023’s Godzilla Minus One proved anything, it is that there is plenty of life left in the old kaiju. This century’s revival of the fabled giant monster has been a sort of tit for tat between Hollywood – with Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse films placing the creature alongside King Kong – and the Japanese originator, Toho, which has also rebooted the franchise. Godzilla Minus One – directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who also wrote the script and oversaw the...

Hong Kong Gen Z jewellery maker quit her finance job, then built a million-dollar brand

Alarm at 6am. J.P. Morgan trading desk by 7.45am. Clock out at 6.30pm. Design custom jewellery until 1am. For months, Koyo Song ran her jewellery business, Benalor, while holding down a full-time corporate finance job in Hong Kong – surviving on five hours of sleep and her ambition to build her own brand. In July 2026, the 28-year-old walked away from her position as a sales associate – and a six-figure monthly salary – to run Benalor full time with her boyfriend and business partner, Avi...
