Insight on mobile internet

Mary Meeker, renowned internet trend analyst from Morgan Stanley, has released her eagerly awaited annual report. As digital agencies (including us) across the globe mine this for insight and stats, I’ve embedded it here to view.

My approach to the mobile web is shaped by our approach to our customers – we sell to everybody across Britain, young or old, techie or not. One of our great successes is Shop Your Way – a multichannel initiative that enables shoppers to cross channels, including stores, web, phone and, in the future, mobile.
