The Modern Marketers Guide to MarTech Maturity is an initiative by the MMA India AMMP community represented by the MarTech council.

It's the only industry Playbook to showcase MarTech maturity across different organizations and sectors with complete guidance on choosing and utilizing MarTech stacks effectively.

What makes this MarTech Playbook unique:

The MMA’s MTA Tactical Success Guide is a tool for marketers to determine their organization’s data readiness for employing Multi- Touch Attribution, discussing specific data linking strategies, the value of Unified User IDs and more. It also includes a workbook which allows marketers to examine how their own data might be used in MTA.

A concise reference tool that visualizes all of the data needed, giving brands a clear picture of how datasets can interact and be integrated for successful MTA execution. It is intended to be a collaborative tool for marketers, agencies, DMPs and MTA providers to use to ensure nothing gets left out of the discussion.

Specifically, it shows:

• How aggregate data can be tied back to unified user IDs
• The components of linkable marketing
• How first, second and third-party data flows into creating audience segments

In this joint project between MMA Global and Neustar, we used return on ad spend (ROAS), a widely used measure of marketing success, to develop an innovative ‘v2.O’ framework—as this report’s title notes—to help brands target a new group of consumers: the ‘movable middles.’

The Mobile Marketing Association and Decision Lab Ad Fraud report is the most essential guide for every marketer, agency, tech-provider and publisher to understand the mobile marketing ecosystem. The report marks the coming together of one of the biggest global trade associations and market research companies and this endeavour benefits all stakeholders in the business.

How to Build Up A Closer Relationship Between New Products and Consumers: 4 Essential Approaches in Go-To-Market Plans

• What the top mobile signals are for branding, by vertical.
• What signals marketers are employing, based on KPIs.
• How the purchase funnel really works. (Hint: It’s not a funnel.)
• What marketers feel is their biggest challenge when it comes to leveraging data to improve marketing performance.

Signaling that the rise of programmatic buying in mobile is equally as dramatic as its ascension in other forms of digital media, the Mobile Marketing Association’s first-ever Automation and Programmatic Forum studied not only its growth, but the ramifications that growth has for mobile. The Forum brought together several hundred practitioners from brands, publishers, agencies and technology providers.

The mobile landscape is set to grow even further in 2016. Nine Mobile Marketing Association's APAC Board Members from agencies and brands such as Facebook, Google, WPP, share their aspirations for mobile throughout 2016.

In this infographic, they have a common desire to achieve progress in measurement, drum up investments in leadership and technology, and increase mobile-led cross-platform campaigns.

This Guidance Report summarizes the work the MMA Mobile Native Advertising Committee has developed over the course of the past year. It includes the definitions, formats, research on effectiveness and then concludes that certain basic, best practices can go a long way towards improving the efficacy of all the MMA mobile native ad formats. MMA Mobile Native Advertising Committee members have collaborated to share their learnings on what makes a native ad fit in with a publisher’s environment, and yet stand out to a user.

As part of a larger ongoing strategy for the MMA to provide the most comprehensive resource for marketers on how best to implement effective mobile marketing campaigns, the MMA EMEA in collaboration with Millward Brown have analyzed the MMA Smarties EMEA shortlist and published a Mobile Creativity Report. In this report, we discuss:

• What differentiates good from great mobile creative?
• How can brands take advantage of the future mobile video advertising opportunity?

Marketing has changed. Your customer is in control; you are not. Businesses must adapt to this new reality. 

Traditional marketing and advertising have reigned for decades, but they are no longer the only way, or even the best way, to reach your customers today. Today’s consumers don’t want advertising hijacking their attention. They want effortless experiences served up to them, guiding them through daily life and solving their problems. They want magic. 

The Push Notifications User Manual is produced and developed by the MMA France Messaging Marketing Committee. With this Guide, Mobile Marketing Association France intends to demystify push notification, a tool which we believe already to be essential, given that: 

• mobile web traffic is on its way to exceeding computerbased web traffic
• apps account for 86% of this mobile traffic
• and push notifications are by far the best tool to incite users to revisit an application

No longer just a tool for "in the moment" targeting, major brands are now leveraging the rich contextual information that location provides to create highly-targeted audience segments, enabling them to strategically target consumers at specific points in their day, not just when they're within close proximity of a brand's store or restaurant.

This is a great resource for Brands, Retailers, Agency Creative and Analytics vendors and experts.
