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.

  • Highway-User Taxation, Financing of State Highways, and Highway Mileage
    HIG,HWAY STATISTICS U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS H I G H WAY STATISTICS U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON: 1950 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. Price 65 cents ' PREFACE This pamphlet, the fourth of an annual series, presents the 1948 statistical and analytical tables of general interest on the subjects of motor fuel, motor vehicles, highway-user taxation, financing of State highways, and highway mileage. The brief text is intended only to call attention to information of par- ticular interest or significance, to supply definitions of the terms used in the tables, and to point out the limitations of the data presented. Many of the tables in this pamphlet were issued separately so that the information could be made available at the earliest possible date. However, the public reception of previous Highway Statistics publications indicates that the issuance of the tables in assembled, permanent form makes the data much more convenient and serviceable to their users. Prior editions of Highway Statistics are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C., at the following prices: Highway Sta- tistics, 1945, 35 cents; Highway Statistics, 7946, 50 cents; Highway Statistics, 1947, 45 cents. In addition to the annual pamphlets, and supplementing them, the Bureau of Public Roads has published Highway Statistics, Summary to 1945, in which are presented selected historical summaries of highway data carried from the earliest years that available information warrants.

    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION JANUARY 2014 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION JANUARY 2014 REPORT CMO as Chief Innovator As the MMA continues to help CMO’s build their team’s mobile marketing capabilities, we’ve been thinking about how this in turn contributes to a shift that has been happening in many quiet corners for some time. In 2013 however, CMO’s such as Walmart’s Stephen Quinn started to talk directly about the need for CMO’s to be the ones to make innovation happen within their own organizations. Given mobile’s power to transform marketing, the MMA will continue to make innovation a key focus of all our programs in 2014, not least of which, will be our Mobile CEO & CMO Summit, running July 13-15, 2014 at Hilton Head in South Carolina. Gathering the industries leaders each year at this event has become an essential part of our calendar. It not only serves as a unique opportunity for this busy group to be in the same place at the same time, but given the insights and experience of those in attendance, also allows us to truly focus the conversation on transformation. This, once again, will be front and center at this year’s meeting. It’s a unique opportunity to be in business today and be confronted with something that will and is already having, such a dramatic effect on the status quo. I look forward to supporting you, your business and all our members as we navigate these changes ahead.
