New York, NY, 19 October, 2011 – Today, the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) announced that the MMA Forum Los Angeles will feature speakers from top brands, including Coca-Cola, JetBlue, Paramount Pictures, Cars.com and Men’s Wearhouse. The MMA Forum Los Angeles will take place on November 16th and 17th, 2011 at the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills.
 
“Marketers understand that mobile is critically important to their current and future plans. But, with a swiftly evolving marketplace, shifting media landscape and growing mobile channel, marketers need to know how mobile can specifically work for them,” Said Mobile Marketing Association North American Managing Director Michael Becker. “We put attendees where they need to be – in the middle of the story and feet away from the top leaders from all sectors of the mobile marketering discussion.”
 
At the Forum, many of the world’s top marketers will be sharing their thoughts and experiences on how brands need to communicate with their customers in a world dominated by mobile interaction. They include Doug Busk, Mobile Brand Strategy Lead for the Global Connections Team at The Coca-Cola Company; Sharon Knitter, Senior Director of Mobile, Cars.com; Michael Rosenberg, Executive Director, Advertising & New Media, Paramount Pictures; Jonathan Stephen, Senior Producer of Mobile Products, JetBlue; and Matt Stringer, Senior Vice President, Marketing for Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. 
 
In addition, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will be the featured speaker at a special lunch held on Thursday, November 17th, as previously announced. A full listing of Forum speakers is available at http://forum.mmaglobal.com/losangeles2011/speakers
 
The 2011 MMA Forum Los Angeles brings together thought leaders from brands, agencies, carriers and others across the global mobile marketing ecosystem. This year, the consumer takes center stage in the world of mobile marketing: the MMA Forum will address key aspects of this change and explore how Consumer Centric Engagement can deliver value to brands and marketers.
