MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION AUGUST 2015 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION AUGUST 2015 REPORT Strength in Numbers The Transformation of Marketing It’s a bold statement for us to make, but one that I think everyone involved in, or touched by the mobile marketing industry would agree with. For the MMA, one key indicator that supports this simple statement is the growth in new MMA members, especially of major brands. On a periodic basis we send out a press release, announcing who these new members are, with our most recent being earlier this month (you can read the full press release here). What was interesting about this release, which has been playing out all year, is the different vertical markets represented by the brands coming on board, not to mention the media spending power of each of them. As we continue to support brands in their successful re-allocation of budgets to mobile, given the size of the budgets involved, that’s a sizeable transformation. This summer we have welcomed new members including AT&T, Bank of America, Bloomberg L.P., BP International, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Citi, General Mills, Signet Jewelers, Ford Motor Co, General Electric, Intuit, PepsiCo and the Travelers Companies. As this list of leading brands grow, so does the collective impact of their own transformations and certainly, as an industry trade group, this strength in numbers allows us to support an accelerated timeline for change. As always, please let the MMA team know if there is anything we can do to help your mobile efforts.
