Sound familiar?
- ✕Wall Street and Midtown make New York the financial capital of the world, while Madison Avenue advertising, a dominant media industry and a booming Silicon Alley tech scene mean brands here are benchmarked against the best work on the planet. Mobile usage dominates how New York customers research, book and buy — and a business without a mobile presence is losing ground to competitors who have one.
- ✕Across New York, firms in financial services and media lean ever more on mobile for field teams, customer engagement and service delivery — but a lot of them are stuck on manual workflows or desktop software that simply does not work on a small screen.
- ✕The deepest agency talent pool in the US — global holding companies, elite boutiques and in-house brand teams all compete, so a distinct creative voice is essential. For American businesses, the payoff of a well-designed mobile app is a direct, branded channel straight to customers that rivals find genuinely hard to replicate.
