    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION JUNE 2014 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION JUNE 2014 REPORT The Global Board Given our continuous march toward providing marketers the tools they need to successfully leverage mobile, it’s tempting to give you another week-by-week update on our DRUMBEAT. But, as busy as that’s been, I’d like to focus my introduction for this month’s Mobile Smart Fundamentals on the recent announcement we made regarding our Global Board. Our May 6th announcement that we would be welcoming the first CMO in the MMA’s history to take up the position of Global Chairperson was significant for many reasons, not least of which is the incredible insight and leadership that John Costello brings to the role. This was also one of our first steps to truly aligning the MMA to a new marketer-first mission. Subsequently, on June 25th, we were pleased to announce the introduction, re-election and continuation of committed leaders to the MMA’s Global Board (read full press release here). But perhaps most significantly of all, we welcomed a number of new Brand marketers and that list of Brands on the Global Board now includes The Coca-Cola Company, Colgate-Palmolive, Dunkin’ Brands, General Motors, Mondelez International, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Visa and Walmart. http://www.mmaglobal.com/about/board-of-directors/global To put this into context, the board now comprises 80% CEOs and Top 100 Marketers vs. three years ago where only 19% of the board comprised CEOs and a single marketer, with the majority being mid-level managers.

Enter our Mobile Marketing Playbook (Press Release). Launched last week and created in partnership with global sporting goods giant, adidas, it aims to explain when, where and how companies can use mobile as core to their marketing efforts. Whilst we’ve seen some incredible work this year, as evidenced by the many great mobile campaigns submitted to our 2014 Smarties Awards Program (currently in pre-screening), one of the challenges marketers still face is how to make mobile an integral part of their mix. The Playbook takes marketers through the process of mobile strategy development from start to finish. It provides best practices around mobile executions, ways to leverage the myriad mobile vehicles, insights into mobile creative effectiveness and how companies can effectively measure and optimize mobile. To address the ever changing needs of and challenges faced by marketers, the Playbook will be regularly updated to reflect shifts in consumer behavior, mobile trends as they are introduced, and innovations that are continuously being developed through and with mobile. This will be accomplished in part by the annual addition of well over 500 case studies into our Case Study Hub, helping to define best practice and to serve as a source of inspiration to our marketer members Members can access the entire Playbook by logging in using your member login and password where directed.

  • Final Thesis1
    Chapter 3. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF QR CODE & AR APPLICATION 3.1. What is a QR Code QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional bar code) A QR code is a matrix barcode readable by smart phones and mobile phones with cameras. They are sometimes referred to as 2d codes, 2d barcodes, or mobile codes. QR codes can hold much more information than a regular barcode. The information encoded in a QR code can be a URL, a phone number, an SMS message, a V-card, or any text. They are referred to as QR because they allow the contents to be decoded at high speed. QR codes were developed in 1994 by Denso-Wave, a Toyota subsidiary In Catalog records to offer patrons basic information about location of books and call number, users can scan the code and head to the stacks rather than writing or printing, this means, for example, a student who scans QR codes from a library OPAC in the middle of the night in his or her dorm room could head to the library stacks the next day, click open the app to refer to the call numbers of the titles scanned the night before, and quickly find the books. Also, expect to see QR code scanner/reader apps that allow users to tag, share, comment, collaborate, and more in the future. Taped to video/DVD cases, linking to mobile-friendly video trailers, Codes in the library stacks/end caps or magazine/journal areas that point to online electronic holdings of print materials or related subject guides, linking to library audio tours for orientations etc.

  • Looking-At-11-Useful-Apps-That-Attorneys-May-Have
    Looking at 11 useful mobile apps that attorneys may have never heard of These free apps can help attorneys find ways to increase efficiency and cut expenses without sacrificing quality by Patrick Soon and Rebecca Bellow *This article first appeared in Inside Counsel Magazine on June 10, 2014: http://bit.ly/16bMIaC Let’s face it: In this economy the pressure is on for attorneys to find ways to increase efficiency and cut expenses without sacrificing quality. The free apps below can be very helpful in this regard. And while most of these apps are not specifically designed to aid the practice of law, they should nevertheless be included in every lawyer’s digital tool box. Here are the top 11: 1. Asana (Free for teams up to 15) Android; iPhone Asana is an easy-to-use, web-based group-project manager that makes it easier for attorneys and paralegals to work together on a big case. Each team member gets a workspace where they can add comments, attachments and tags to the tasks on which they are collaborating. Each user also gets their own inbox which organizes and updates new information in real time, so e-mailing is not needed. The most important benefit is that the lead attorney can spend more time working on the case itself and less time checking up on the other members of the group. 2. Documents 5 (Free) iPhone This app represents an overhaul of Documents, by Readdle. It has many applications for law offices as it is designed for optimal file management, document viewing and media playing.
