Spending time with MMA is like being with marketing architects and engineers as opposed to cake decorators and mortician makeup artists. Trying to improve the sausage factory versus wallpapering over the patient.
MMA is the only industry group trying to tackle the issues that matter: how can marketing drive measurable growth and outcomes? We are long past Wannamaker’s lament about not knowing which 50% of his advertising works, it’s time for the industry to take seriously its responsibility to be accountable and MMA is leading the way.
Three things set the MMA apart: expertise, research, and actionability. The staff at the MMA is impressive with their relevant commercial and academic experiences. The topics presented by the MMA are researched in depth – not just trendy topics with anecdotal evidence. And the resulting work is pragmatic and digestible.
