Our approach to Citi’s first iAd
• Objective: provide brand engagement and
demonstrate Citi’s commitment to new channels
in vogue with our customers.
• Messaging: Citi can help you write your story.
• Execution: A street scene leading to three
content buckets:
• Branded videos tied to lifestages (Discover
stories).
• Enablement/Utility (Find cash with ATM
finder or a place of interest with Story
Sparker).
• Support for Acquisition (Find a Citi Card or
App).
• Citi was the only advertiser to use an external
data API.

What we learned …

Learnings: Ground your idea around business goals
• Ground your idea around a clear
theme that aligns to your brand and
business objectives
• Takes discipline to ground the big idea in
tangible, explicit linkages back to your
business.
• Beware of bright shiny object mentality,
leverage the inherent functionality of the
iAd platform, but don’t be boxed in by it.

Learnings: Provide easy access to content
• Streamline the user experience with an
emphasis on easy access to content
• Smaller and more focused is better.
There's a lot of potential here, but it’s
critical to reel in the big ideas so not to
confuse the end user, or yourself.
• This will likely remain true for other rich
media mobile opportunities on other
platforms such as Android, iPads or other
tablets.

Learnings: Create a compelling value exchange
• Reward consumers for their time with
a strong pay-off
• Digital is all about user initiation and the
value exchange is paramount, we give
you something entertaining or of value,
you give us your kind attention.

Our assessment of iAds in a short time
• iAds continue to be the most engaging and media rich
form of advertising available in mobile ecosphere.
• iAds represent opportunity to create immersive brand
experiences.
• Apple has aggressive plans to continue evolving the
platform.
• As a media vehicle, Apple’s platform is still evolving, and
does not currently offer the ideal levels of transparency.
Ability to scale is also limited.
• The implication is an on-going commitment/investment
and willingness to continue testing and learning.
