The Marketing SIG Presents...

 

Mobile Marketing:
An Annoyance, A Convenience, Or A Revenue Generator?

 

How do you feel about the next generation of mobile media? Would it be an annoyance to you if ads popped up on your cell phone when all you want to do is make a call, send a text message or view a podcast?  Or would it be a convenience to have ads come to you in such an efficient manner? (Levi and Jeep think so!) And ultimately, who is going to generate revenue off of this new trend?  All of these questions and more will be discussed at this event.  We will also talk about what strategies are behind utilizing this new medium and how consumer and B2B technology companies are incorporating mobile media into their marketing and communication efforts. 


Mobile media is emerging as one of the new marketing and advertising vehicles of the 21st century, so join us for this discussion on the impact it will have and the future of the mobile media space!
