Los Angeles, California, United States - October 21, 2023 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

The last 10 years have been great when it comes to online advertising. Its future has been looking very promising thanks to the rise of e-commerce, video streaming sites, and social media. However, the most crucial contributor to the robust growth of the digital ads market has undoubtedly been the accelerating shift to mobile devices, which prompted marketers to embrace strategies that prioritize this channel. “Mobile has become the primary focus of brand campaigns, and analysts have been consistently upbeat about the outlook for this market segment. Unfortunately, the current pandemic has forced a sharp downward revision of financial projections across all industries as many companies struggle to stay afloat and take drastic measures to weather the coming recession,” comments Daniel Yomtobian, a prominent entrepreneur and business leader in the online media space. “While total advertising expenditure in 2020 is estimated to shrink by roughly $20 billion to $691.7 billion, there are indications that the mobile segment will fare better and recover faster than the rest.”

Lockdowns and social distancing measures have led to an even greater reliance on mobile devices and further boosted digital content consumption, which has allowed the mobile advertising segment to avoid excessive disturbance, Daniel Yomtobian notes. According to an analysis by PubMatic, the pandemic “has shifted consumer behavior towards mobile,” pushing its share of global ad spending to 51% in the first quarter of 2020. Moreover, it fell by 15% versus a 25% drop for desktop ad spending. “While recent surges in viewership will likely recede through the summer and as stay-at-home orders ease, the preference for mobile will remain, which will drive advertisers to mobile over the long term,” commented PubMatic senior executive Paulina Klimenko.

Influential analytics group eMarketer has been keeping a close watch on the advertising market, adjusting its forecasts periodically to reflect the impact of the pandemic. Its most recent revision features a projected drop of minimum 6% in US mobile ad spending during the second quarter of 2020 although the company sees a 10% year-on-year decline as more likely, and its expectations for the rest of the year are also significantly tempered. “Even so, the relative share of different platforms and formats will likely not dramatically change from our March 6 forecast […] Prior to the coronavirus, we expected US mobile ad spend to grow 20.7% to $105.34 billion in 2020, which would mean that mobile ad spend would account for more than two thirds (68.1%) of digital ad spend. We now believe any growth this year in mobile ad spend will be small, if it happens at all.” Despite the subdued mood at present, the majority of marketing professionals do not foresee severe disruption to their brand and content strategies, Daniel Yomtobian points out, citing the results of a survey conducted by Bynder. According to it, 57% of respondents are bracing for a lasting impact, but they do not expect it to be a transformative one.

Starting out as a web designer, Daniel Yomtobian quickly realized that his true passion is online advertising. Considered a pioneer and innovator in this space, he has led several business ventures to success, of particular note being Advertise.com – a PPC network dedicated to helping advertisers and publishers maximize their ROI and monetize their solutions. In 2014, C-Suite Quarterly described him as a “…young leader [who] will continue to play an important role in shaping the online world of tomorrow.” Among his other accolades is the SFV Business Journal Top 40 Under 40 Award. Daniel Yomtobian studied business marketing at California State University-Northridge.

ESpace Wellness Club expands to BF Homes, opens 11th branch in Pasay

What began with a few pieces of Pilates and physiotherapy equipment inside a home in Fairview, Quezon City, has grown into a multi-branch wellness brand, with ESpace Wellness Club bringing Pilates, yoga, barre, spin and recovery services to BF Homes. During the height of the pandemic, entrepreneurs Mico Vallejo and Euriz Bagtas-Vallejo started the business from their home, gradually acquiring equipment as they pursued their shared interest in wellness. For Bagtas-Vallejo, a licensed physical therapist, the venture also provided an opportunity to apply her knowledge of movement, rehabilitation and physical well-being in a more accessible setting. What started at home has since grown into ESpace, which now has multiple branches across Metro Manila. Its latest location in BF Homes, Parañaque, is a two-floor wellness club that brings several fitness and recovery disciplines under one roof. The club has dedicated studios and facilities for Pilates, yoga, barre and spin, along with recovery amenities including a cold plunge and sauna. “I’ve always believed that taking care of your body shouldn’t only happen when something is already wrong. Movement, recovery and prevention can be part of everyday life,” Bagtas-Vallejo said. For the founders, the growth of ESpace has been less about building another fitness studio and more about creating a wellness space that people can incorporate into their daily routines. “We started with what we had at home and simply kept building from there. The equipment came little by little, and eventually the idea became much bigger than what we initially imagined,” Vallejo said. Bringing ESpace to the South The BF Homes opening marks ESpace's expansion into southern Metro Manila, where the founders said they saw an opportunity to bring its combination of fitness and recovery services closer to residents. The founders said expanding to Parañaque was not simply about adding another location but about introducing the ESpace concept to a new community while maintaining their focus on accessibility and convenience. “We wanted to bring ESpace to the South because we saw an opportunity to make the kind of wellness experience we’ve built over the years more accessible to people in this community,” Bagtas-Vallejo said. “Wellness should be something you can easily make part of your life, not something you have to go out of your way to find.” ESpace opens 11th branch in Pasay The expansion continued on Sept. 26 with the official opening of ESpace Wellness Hub in Pasay City, the brand's 11th branch and a larger location compared with the BF Homes club. The Pasay branch continues to offer Pilates, yoga, barre, spin and recovery services while adding an in-house cafe where members and their companions can have drinks and spend time before or after their sessions. The addition reflects the founders' broader view of wellness as extending beyond exercise to include movement, recovery and community. For the Vallejo couple, reaching 11 branches remains connected to the same idea that began in their Fairview home: creating spaces where people can move better, feel better and enjoy taking care of themselves. “When we look back at where we started, it’s incredible to see how far ESpace has come. But the vision is still very similar to what we had in that home in Fairview: We want to create spaces where people can move better, feel better and enjoy taking care of themselves,” Vallejo said. From a few pieces of equipment in a pandemic-era home to 11 branches across Metro Manila, ESpace continues to expand its wellness concept while keeping its origins in mind.

Appliance brand brings Japanese craftsmanship beyond the home

Toshiba Lifestyle Philippines took its idea of home living beyond the kitchen and living room with “The Takumi Experience,” a two-day gathering for winners of a nationwide promotion and invited guests. The appliance brand brought together dining, music and a resort stay to explore the idea behind takumi, a Japanese term associated with skilled artisans. Rather than center the event on particular products, Toshiba drew a connection between the care that goes into an artisan’s work and the details homeowners consider when choosing appliances for their spaces. The guests included winners from different regions who qualified through a promotion held from July 1 to Aug. 15. Every single-receipt purchase of Toshiba appliances during that period earned a chance to join the experience. The event also welcomed invited figures from the lifestyle field, with activities held across two consecutive days. At Helm, guests met chef Josh Boutwood and experienced a menu prepared under his direction. The program then moved from the dining table to the concert hall for “Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi in Concert,” with Gerard Salonga conducting the live orchestral performance. The promotion winners also had a stay at Solaire Resort as part of their visit. For the brand, the choice of guests and activities reflected the broader place appliances occupy in the home. A refrigerator, for example, has a practical role in keeping ingredients fresh, while the look and placement of an appliance can affect how a kitchen or living area feels. The company used the gathering to express that approach through the work of Boutwood and Salonga, both of whom it introduced as its Takumi Masters. “True luxury lies in the details,” said Anna Marie Alejandro, general manager of Toshiba Lifestyle Philippines. She pointed to food preservation and design as two considerations in developing appliances for the home. The event offered the brand’s promotion winners a chance to meet the two artists and spend time together outside their usual surroundings. It also gave the brand an occasion to present its view of craftsmanship through experiences its guests could see, hear and share, from a meal prepared by Boutwood to an orchestra led by Salonga.
