Peter Roper of Google on Meeting Customers in the Moment

As more customers begin to rely their phone for news, daily tasks, shopping, communication and more, brands are going to have to adjust their mobile strategy to get noticed and build customer loyalty.

Peter Roper, Head of Mobile Brand Strategy at Google, helps brands tell their story on mobile through video on YouTube and connect with consumers. Roper explained the best time for brands to reach your customer is when they are searching for a product like yours through their smartphone.

“If you really want to tell your story through a mobile device, you need to meet their needs in the moment,” he said.

Roper said that brands have an opportunity to gain loyal customers if they catch them at the right time.

“As a brand, understand those needs you can solve for and make sure that your brand is front and center in the moment. There's a big opportunity for brands to present themselves in those moments,” Roper said.

In this interview by Maine Startup & Create Week (MSCW), a week-long (June 19-23) celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit and highlighting local companies and startups in Portland, Peter offers advice around a mobile strategy for brands and meeting “customers in the moment.”
