The one area that we feel is certain to gain momentum and have a huge impact on how the mobile industry develops in 2014 is the number of brands that we will see moving from the sidelines and fully into the game. The impact of this will be seen both in the gains in mobile spend as brands move away from the 1% average that we’ve been seeing and start moving towards 10-15% mobile spend with increased ROIs as a result. We will also start to see how mobile is driving both innovation in marketing and transformation of business. As always, the MMA will be providing support and guidance for the entire industry, shining a light on inspiration, capability development, measurement and advocacy allowing all constituents to continue building their businesses, with mobile at its core. We look forward to supporting you and the industry. I wish you much success in 2014.

  • Entrepreneurial Investing Decisions and First Impression*
    Swimming with the Sharks: Entrepreneurial Investing Decisions and First Impression* Xing Huang Washington University in St. Louis Zoran Ivković Michigan State University John (Xuefeng) Jiang Michigan State University Isabel Yanyan Wang Michigan State University Abstract We examine the relation between entrepreneurial investing decisions and first impression regarding entrepreneurs’ characteristics, as featured in the TV show “Shark Tank.” We ask respondents through Amazon Mechanical Turk to rate still photographs of entrepreneur contestants along six dimensions and summarize these dimensions through their two principal components: competence/confidence and appearance/likability. We find that the likelihood of receiving a shark’s offer is associated positively with both components. However, conditional on getting an offer from a shark investor, the component capturing competence/confidence remains positively associated with the sharks’ offered cash and valuation, while the component capturing appearance/likability is negatively associated. * Acknowledgments: Special thanks to the participants of the 2016 Women Assistant Professors of Finance Conference at NYU Stern, participants of the brownbag presentation at the department of finance at Michigan State University, and participants of the 2017 annual meeting of the American Accounting Association. Contact: Xing Huang, Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis. Email: [email protected]. This study investigates the relation between entrepreneurial investors’ decision-making patterns and entrepreneurs’ individual characteristics in a face-to-face setting. Entrepreneurial startups are increasingly viewed as the engine of employment and the economy. Young companies have created an average of 1.5 million jobs per year over the past three decades. They also drive the dynamics of the economy by increasing competition and spurring innovation (Wiens and Jackson (2014)).

    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION OCTOBER 2013 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION OCTOBER 2013 REPORT Location: The Holy Grail of Marketing It was not long ago that mobile devices were considered a tool for basic communication. Fast-forward to today and now mobile has transformed into the ultimate marketing vehicle, threading content with context. Mobile’s power and potential to deliver campaigns at the right place and time revolutionizes marketing outreach. When a consumer walks by a store and receives an incentive, such as a coupon, prompting them to visit the location—that is incredibly valuable. What consumers crave are relevant messages and location- based ads not only enable tailored content but also the correct context. However, location is still in its infancy and it is a complex landscape for companies to navigate. With location capabilities developing, there is a critical need for guidelines as marketers look to harness the power of location-based marketing and advertising. Location data comes from a variety of sources, including Wi-Fi, cell towers, GPS, self-reporting, as well as a combination of methods. That is why the MMA Location Committee developed “The Location Terminology Guide—The Language of Location,” which outlines fundamental technologies, measurements and strategies across the location space. The document deep dives into three core categories, including: • Location Data and Signals reviews the technology

  • Discursive Diversity in the Entrepreneurial Pitch: Creating and Communicating a Marketplace Space (CAMS) in the High-Stakes Reality TV Show Shark Tank
    Discursive Diversity in the Entrepreneurial Pitch: Creating and Communicating a Marketplace Space (CAMS) in the High-Stakes Reality TV Show Shark Tank CP Moreau Carnegie Mellon University Abstract The rhetorical work required to shape one’s identity from innovator to entrepreneur is complex and difficult. One context where this rhetorical shaping occurs is the entrepreneurial pitch. Current scholarship describes the entrepreneurial pitch mainly through activity-network theories, showing how pitches create the investor’s identity (Nelson, 2016), or how slide-deck revisions participate in tacit dialogue between the parties involved in the pitch-making process (Spinuzzi et al. 2014, 2015, 2016). However, the specific linguistic features present in those pitches remain under-described. This study addresses this gap in literature by performing moves analysis (Swales, 1990; Upton & Cohen, 2009) to a corpus of 10 pitches transcribed from the high-stakes, reality TV show Shark Tank. Results show that as part of a rhetorical goal to secure investment for their products, entrepreneurs deploy five discursive moves via a diverse set of linguistic resources. These moves effectively create a Marketplace Space, or CAMS, for their products. Introduction Entrepreneurs need diverse linguistic resources to navigate a variety of identities and roles as they move their products to the marketplace. Shaping an entrepreneur’s role from innovator to business professional requires complex and difficult rhetorical skills, even for practitioners who may have received such training. In researching innovators’ attempts to create and navigate diverse identities, compelling work has looked at the ways those identities are made in relation to an audience of potential investors.
