Canadian Mobile Media Snapshot # 4 - Females 18-34 →
(Disclosure: This is a work project, but it’s good data so worth a share in whatever way I can).  Research on mobile in Canada has always been a bit thin on the ground. There was and is still a gap in understanding how mobile impacts brands and easily digestible data packaged in a way that marketers plan their campaigns.  We set out to address that.
