A Study of the Mobile Market in Canada

Mobil-ology

Changing Landscape

The rapid growth of Smart phones and more recently Tablets & E-readers is driving profound change on the Canadian consumer experience and related digital media habits.

Mobile devices provide a wealth of new revenue and marketing communication opportunities for service providers, retailers, marketers and advertisers. Furthermore, mobile devices present a new channel for interaction with a brand that can increase awareness, loyalty and brand equity.

The Cipher Monitor began tracking Canadian mobile behaviour in Fall 2009 and conducted a second wave in Spring 2010. Using these studies as a foundation, Mobil-ology will deliver a comprehensive review of the Canadian Mobile marketplace at two points each year (Spring & Fall).

Mobil-ology will focus on the essential role mobile devices – Smartphones, Tablets and E-readers – play in the lives of Canadians and will explore and track brands, attitudes and behaviours.
