Mobile screens have overtaken TV as the biggest grabber of people's attention

music? Check. Footage of deserted streets? Check. Maudlin voice-over lamenting “uncertain times”? Check. Seeking a television commercial fit to air amid a pandemic, brands fromto Budweiser sent for their finest admen. All seemed to come up with the same cliché, proclaiming: “We’re in this together.”

Despite a slump like no other, ad spending may fall by less this year than the 11.2% drop that followed the financial crisis in 2009.

How come? In a word: internet.

Meanwhile, everyone is at the mercy of a near-duopoly. Two landlords, Google and Facebook, control 60% of worldwide digital-ad real estate.

Today gaming firms make ads more engaging by, say, letting players earn power-ups in exchange for watching a commercial. King claims that consumers are 18% more likely to remember an ad they see in “Candy Crush” than one viewed while streaming or using social media.
