The C’n’B Conference, June 25, 2010
Cologne, Germany
Topic: The Evolution of Mobile Apps
Apps feel like the next big thing. Over 3 billion downloads and over 100.000 applications on Apple’s store alone, not to mention apps available for Android, Symbian and Blackberry smartphones. Are any of these apps making money, and if so, how? How will media companies take advantage of the possibilities created by new devices like the iPad? What innovative marketing strategies can different branches of the creative industries bring into play? Are apps just a temporary phenomena, like ring tones, or nothing more than links to modified website content? How long will they last, and what will replace them? In this presentation and discussion format we will give an overview of the current market situation in Europe, showcase exciting apps within innovative marketing strategies and discuss future perspectives.
