past event – Nov 30th Event: The convergence of touch screens and mobile advertising services, the successful example of TouchMedia
Posted on: December 25, 2009 – Filed under: Shanghai
According to industry analysts, the mobile marketing and advertising market in China — including messaging — could well exceed $100 million in 2009 (optimists talk about $200 million).
Though smaller than in Japan’s market (est. $1 billion), China is expected to close the gap quickly, with almost 200 million mobile internet users (192 million @Sept. ‘09).
Founded in 2003, TouchMedia has become the leading media network in Chinese cities’ taxis, offering a mix of interactive and advertising-based content to passengers.
With the average taxi ride between 18 and 21 min and a captive audience of high income consumers, TouchMedia is now starting to capitalize on higher mobile awareness and usage, and to leverage mobile networks and location-based services, like maps and coupons, to engage, interact and entertain passengers even further.
Neil Ducray, TouchMedia’s Managing Director, will guide MobileMonday Shanghai community on a journey toward convergence of mobile and “outdoor” media.

Neil Ducray, Managing Director, TouchMedia – Keynote speaker and panelist
Steven Leong (TBC), Managing Director at Mustang Ventures, and Co-Founder and CFO at TouchMedia – panelist
