MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION JUNE 2013 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION JUNE 2013 REPORT Lessons Learned from Cannes Lions 2013 Every Moment is Mobile. That was the Mobile Marketing Association’s tagline for the 2013 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the premier global gathering for the entire marketing ecosystem. Prior to heading to Cannes, the industry was abuzz about mobile and its importance at the festival. Mobile may not be the biggest screen for storytelling. But the biggest creative revolution of our times is happening on the smallest screen. Some of the key takeaways that the MMA noted from the 2013 Cannes Lions festival include: Every Moment is Mobile: Cannes Lions was the official launch pad for the MMA’s positioning on mobile, “nothing gets marketers closer to their consumers than mobile.” http://www.clickz.com/ clickz/news/2278062/cannes-2013-video-mma-mondelez-every-moment-is-mobile Young Marketers Believe Mobile is the Future: To educate the rising-stars of the global marketing community, Jim Stengel alongside the MMA provided a weeklong curriculum to 50+ young marketers. What we learned is that the next generation of marketing leaders have already embraced mobile as the future of media. Their obstacle is getting mid-senior level executives to allocate additional resources and investment to mobile innovation. CMO’s are Eager to Understand Mobile Strategy: The MMA addressed the CMO Accelerator, which invited 25 leaders from around the global to discuss challenges and opportunities across the communications landscape. The CMOs were eager to discuss strategy, platforms, tactics and value across the mobile space. From the conversation, we realize that there is no resistance from the C- suite when it comes to recognizing the potential of mobile. Most of their challenges focused on the need for a stronger infrastructure that supports the growth of mobile as a media channel, in addition to educating staff on emerging tactics and trends. It is clear that mobile continues to revolutionize the industry in terms of its power and potential as a marketing vehicle. Cannes Lions was an opportunity for the MMA to connect with industry leaders and share the value that mobile offers their brands. As technology ignites a new world of interconnectivity, mobile converts every object into a medium and every place into a message. Every Moment is Mobile.
