Digital Predictions for 2015 prepared by Spitfire
E N D
Nearly all apps want to use location services and some don’t even run without them. SPITFIRE / Engage 3
As data gets bigger and better every year, 2015 will be the year we witness hyper-local and geo-contextual takeoff. SPITFIRE / Engage 4
Mobile device unique IDs allows location and behavioral information to be tracked so that ads can be frequently retargeted. SPITFIRE / Engage 5
HOW MIGHT THIS WORK? SPITFIRE / Engage 6
Hyper-local Restaurants will be able to target customers within a 1-mile radius with deals specifically between the hours of 5pm and 8pm. SPITFIRE / Engage 7
Retailers can target anyone within the same shopping mall with a 1-day deal type promotion. There are endless hyper-local possibilities for FMCG firms. SPITFIRE / Engage 8
Geo-Contextual Once location information is collected, personal characteristics can be interpreted from the physical location of the user. • Where they work/study/hang out. • Ethnicity, age, gender, income. SPITFIRE / Engage 9
Advertisers will start to gain information about people based on where they spend their day and use these details to very specifically target certain groups. SPITFIRE / Engage 10
TINDERIZATION & UBERFICATION 11
Two of the most successful breakout apps of last year were Tinder and Uber. SPITFIRE / Engage 12
This year we expect the functionality of Tinder and Uber to be copied, replicated and applied to nearly everything else in our lives. SPITFIRE / Engage 13
The Tinder format will be applied to restaurants, job searches, real estate and pets. Another dozen semi- successful dating apps will pop up attempting to replicate the success of Tinder itself. Grabble is to fashion what tinder is to dating. SPITFIRE / Engage 14
The market for taxis will be saturated by an influx of apps trying to replicate the success of Uber and Lyft. The same format will be applied to a number of services and trades – allowing people to earn commission through a third party app. There’ll be an Uber for electricians and plumbers. SPITFIRE / Engage 15
DIGITAL PAYMENTS 16
Digital payments will start to take off as the use of cash will continue to decline. SPITFIRE / Engage 17
Apple Pay will start to make its way around the world, while services like Venmo, Snapcash and mobile banking are already increasing in popularity. SPITFIRE / Engage 18
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? SPITFIRE / Engage 19
Even more data will end up in the hands of companies and their marketers – what we’re buying, when we’re buying and how we’re buying. SPITFIRE / Engage 20
AUGMENTED REALITY 21
Facebook spent $2 million to acquire Oculus. Google purchased Magic Leap. Samsung and Sony both launched Virtual Reality headsets. SPITFIRE / Engage 22
With all the big name companies splashing out, it looks like 2015 will be the year augmented reality enters the mainstream. SPITFIRE / Engage 23
2015 could be the year of virtual mirrors in clothing stores or in the windows of stores to bring foot traffic inside. SPITFIRE / Engage 24
We could take an augmented reality tour of potential holiday destinations before booking our trips overseas. SPITFIRE / Engage 25
WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY 26
We’ve left the era of clunky Bluetooth connected wristwatches and we’ve entered the era of smart bras, intelligent jackets and of course Google Glass. 9:20 SPITFIRE / Engage 27
Wearable technology will undoubtedly enter many workplaces and industries. In particular, medical and fitness workers could reap the benefits of these advancements. SPITFIRE / Engage 28
BUT IS WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY GOING TO BREAK INTO THE MAINSTREAM? SPITFIRE / Engage 29
Not in 2015 at least. At the present time, the gadgets are too fiddly, too expensive and too ugly to make an impression on anyone but tech developers. SPITFIRE / Engage 30
It will likely be another year at least before we see the first marketing applications enter the wearable technology industry. SPITFIRE / Engage 31
DRONES 32
There will be a huge increase of the use of drones in 2015. SPITFIRE / Engage 33
Deep Focus has been huddling with a major packaged- goods brand about hovering a drone above a supermarket parking lot. If the plan comes to be, the client’s new snack product will be dropped from a drone into shopping carts as shoppers walk from the store to their cars, with tweeted photos and videos to follow. SPITFIRE / Engage 34
Consumers could begin ordering products online and having them dropped directly to their location. Amazon is already working on a service like this. SPITFIRE / Engage 35
WHAT OTHER WAYS CAN DRONES BE USED? SPITFIRE / Engage 36
New York real estate agents have begun using drones to market pricey beachfront properties. SPITFIRE / Engage 37
Unmanned Aeriel Vehicle (UAV) are positioned so that agents can provide the first persons view (FPV) as if the potential buyers is sitting, standing looking out at the view you have designed. SPITFIRE / Engage 38
New Zealand companies already provide this service. SPITFIRE / Engage 39
DIGITAL BILLBOARDS 40
DIGITAL BILLBOARDS HAVE HIGH IMPACT AND EXPOSURE IN A WIDE RANGE OF MARKETS. SPITFIRE / Engage 41
Digital billboards provide an opportunity for brands to engage with people in a public space. This type of interaction will grow in 2015. SPITFIRE / Engage 42
British airways have utilized digital billboards by using surveillance technology to interact with planes at real time. SPITFIRE / Engage 43
The National Centre for Domestic Violence created a campaign called 'Drag Him Away' that urges texters to text in to stop the berating of a woman in their interactive video. SPITFIRE / Engage 44
After this is done, the man is dragged away, across multiple boards and a message that reads, "An injunction will put distance between a victim and their abuser." SPITFIRE / Engage 45
Multiple executions are possible, time sensitive messages, conditional content based on changing sports scores, weather conditions, social media updates – the possibilities to wow audiences are endless. SPITFIRE / Engage 46
Mobile interaction with digital billboards will kick off in 2015. SPITFIRE / Engage 47
Traditional SMS text message is quickly becoming obsolete, particularly in light of the explosion of popular, easy-to-use messaging apps. SPITFIRE / Engage 49
WhatsApp, Viber, Kik, Line and other apps all offer free text messaging, as well as voice, video and file- sharing to other users, bypassing your carrier's SMS and call charges entirely. SPITFIRE / Engage 50
