Data reliability?
Obviously with such a relatively small sample and a sponsor with vested interest in a positive outcome the data does leave questions raised, however there is some likely grounds for this data to be used, as it corresponds to a trend we are seeing of marketing managers taking much more notice of mobile rich media advertising and other areas such as NFC/Barcodes/QR codes.
