A total of 300 questionnaires were evenly distributed among university students in Malaysia (150 samples) and Indonesia (150 samples). PLS-SEM based software (Smart PLS 3.0) was used to perform the path modelling and multi-group analyses. The findings showed that while information and entertainment are what Malaysians look for in mobile advertising, information was significantly more important to Indonesians. Although both agreed on the credibility and irritation part of advertisement, Malaysians seemed to value mobile advertising more than Indonesians. The implications of research are provided.
