“The EMEA region, and Turkey in particular, is having enormous success leveraging mobile for creative campaigns,” said Laura Marriott, executive director of the MMA. “It is truly incredible to share the successes of our members within the EMEA region – and we thank our Turkish members for their hospitality in hosting this year’s event. 2007 will be another pivotal year for growth of mobile marketing, and we look forward to working with our members around the world to continue to drive the creation of a professional and sustainable industry and organization.”
Sponsored by corporate sponsors Aerodeon, JumpTap, ThirdScreenMedia and Turkcell and media sponsors 160characters, ClickZ and Mobile Marketing Magazine, the annual MMF EMEA event took place last week in Istanbul.
