One of the biggest trends for marketers to observe in 2015 is the prominence and dominance of the mobile consumer. A number of interesting points can be made on this topic:

Mobile is estimated to be the primary channel for paid search by the end of 2015.
Having a website optimized for mobile, and not just a responsive format, will be crucial.
In response to the dominant mobile consumer, location-based marketing will increase targeting consumers based on where they physically are, what they’re doing, and what’s nearby that may interest them.
In 2015 the marketing formula is simple: SOCIAL + LOCAL + MOBILE = RESULTS!
