Mobile marketing is fast gaining popularitysuch that anyone would be forced to sit up and take notice. An article on Boston Globe Cellphone screen is today's hip billboard by Carolyn Y. Johnson simply gets to the main point of the whole talk. It intricately touches up the possible issues related with Mobile marketing such as why has it become so magnetic and controversial at the same time and how successful would it prove to be as an advertising platform.

Few excerpts from the article:

“We’re calling the phone ‘the brand in your hand’ — you’re never more than a foot away from it, 24 hours a day,” said Fareena Sultan, associate professor of marketing at Northeastern University’s College of Business Administration. The challenge, Sultan said, will be to produce an advertisement for the phone “that excites the person holding it.”

But to be successful rather than annoying, the ads have to be targeted, relevant, and even cool.
