"We are extremely pleased that Laura will represent MMA and lead the organization's efforts in growing its membership, maximizing its reach, and helping shape the global mobile marketing industry’s future," said Jim Manis, Global Chairman for the Mobile Marketing Association. “The MMA is entering a new stage of development as the market evolves, and Laura will help us to grow with selected initiatives and events designed to foster sustainable, consumer-friendly growth in the marketplace.”
Ms. Marriott has over fourteen years of experience in the high-tech industry in the areas of business development, product management and marketing, including extensive experience in the mobile marketplace. Most recently, Marriott served as Intrado Inc’s Director of International Mobility Marketing, where she was responsible for the development and delivery of messaging solutions.
