Washington, D.C. and Mountain View, CA, March 15, 2004—The Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) and the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) have created a seminar series on mobile marketing in order to meet a growing demand by advertising agencies and brands for information on how to conduct effective mobile marketing campaigns in North America.
Called the Mobile Marketing Roadshow, the seminar is a one-day, information packed conference that will be held in nine cities throughout the United States from April to December 2004. The Roadshow series is the first to exclusively spotlight one of the hottest markets in mobile communications, mobile marketing, in the world’s second largest single pool of mobile phone subscribers—the United States. Each segment of the mobile marketing industry will be covered in the series: device manufacturers, carriers, technology partners, advertising agencies, content providers and brands. Attendees will learn everything they need to know to create, execute and measure advertising campaigns conducted on mobile phones.
“Mobile marketing is just beginning to gain traction in North America having demonstrated its utility and efficiency in Europe and Asia,” said John Windolph, senior vice president for business development of CTIA. “Our goal for these conferences is to introduce brands and their promotional agencies to a compelling new outreach medium that can be successful and effective when carefully planned and executed.”
