This blog entry reflects an opinion only, or maybe it is just an open question. If so, then our question would be: are there any mobile marketing experts out there? And if there are, how much of their knowledge will be viable in 6 months or a year from now? Furthermore, does anybody have more than a guess on what exactly will happen in the mobile industry in the next years?

The reason why we ask ourself this question is because we find articles on mobile marketing and app marketing on a daily basis, often written by so called experts. And we are not doubting that there certainly are experts. However, it sometimes seems overlooked how young this sector and industry still is. Calling some people “experts” and others “novices” implies that there is a huge gap between knowing and not knowing how to work the mobile channel to your advantage. And frankly, yes there probably is a gap and it is getting bigger every day. But in a time where new ad formats seem to be popping up on a regular basis and statistics on mobile usage and user behavior are barely reliable, the knowledge-advantage cannot be too big, right?

At apprupt we want to basically help you with distributing your app and doing so wisely. From the start we have been focusing on “learnings to be made” and talked about an industry that is just at the beginning of a huge mobile (and app) wave. Of course, this is an opinion too, though it refers to a relatively probable prediction. It is safe to say that no matter what you think the future of marketing your app will be, the time to learn and productively progress is now. Become an expert while you still have the (relatively easy) chance.
