New York, NY (PRWEB) May 15, 2014 -- A new survey by Chango (http://www.chango.com), a programmatic advertising platform that connects marketers with their audiences across all devices, found that 41 percent of brands and agencies think that social is the key to retargeting on mobile devices. The complete report can be found at http://www.chango.com/resources/whitepapers/SOTI-Retargeting-Q2-2014.
“The Retargeting State Of The Industry study, Q2 2014, produced by Chango in partnership with Digiday asked 400 media buyers, agency executives and brand executives how they are using retargeting and what, if any, effects mobile and social marketing have on retargeting. Social exchanges emerged as a promising tactic for retargeting via mobile.”

Mobile Retargeting Gets a Bigger Piece of the Pie: In 2013, 89 percent of brands invested 0-20 percent of their online budget to mobile marketing while 9 percent placed 21-50 percent of their budget to mobile. In 2014, those numbers shifted: 73 percent of brands put 0-20 percent of their online budget to mobile while 26 percent moved 21-50 percent of their budget to mobile.
Advertisers and Agencies are Spending More on Paid Social: About 38 percent of buyers are employing Twitter’s tailored audiences and 67 percent are using Facebook’s FBX to reach consumers.
