With half of the world’s population owning at least one phone, it's time to get smart on how mobile marketing is exploding and how you can advise your clients or your boss on how to incorporate it into your marketing mix.

Video, social networking, mobile gaming, text messaging, music, ring messaging, Internet surfing – are all possible on the mobile phone. Each of these gives marketers and advertisers a way to reach their customers in an interactive experience that helps them bond and participate in a brand. And it is the one thing nobody leaves the home without.

If you work for a corporation, nonprofit, association, PR/marketing firm or government agency – you will want to know the latest in how mobile can serve you and your message.

Join us for this highly interactive speaker presentation where our expert panelists will highlight the latest ways in which the mobile platform can serve marketers and advertisers in spreading their message. We will cover industry trends, case studies, best practices and clear steps of how to think about your mobile strategy --and how to implement it.
