Below is a summary of our publishing and events portfolio:
Mobile Marketing Online
The Mobile Marketing website at www.mobilemarketingmagazine.com launched on 1 November 2005 and attracts 35,000 visitors per month. The site is primarily driven by news, but also features analysis, interviews and opinion pieces. It is updated around 12 – 15 times every business day.
Mobile Marketing Magazine
Our quarterly magazine supplements the website with more in-depth analysis of the hot topics and trends in mobile marketing. In each issue, we take a deep dive into three or four major themes, such as Mobile Advertising, Location-based Services, Mobile Payments and Augmented Reality, and examine the current state of the market and where it’s heading. This is supplemented by insightful opinion pieces by our regular columnists, including Helen Keegan and Russell Buckley. The magazine is also available online as a digital edition, and as an iPad app.
Mobile Marketing Live
We launched Mobile Marketing Live in 2012. The event included an exhibition and conference, bringing together leading brands to talk about their experiences in the mobile channel, and leading practitioners to update delegates on the latest developments in their area of expertise. The event was extremely well received, and will run again in October 2013.
The Mobile Retail Summit
Like Mobile Marketing Live, the Mobile Retail Summit launched in 2011, bringing retailers and mobile marketing experts together for a day of insight, education and inspiration. Feedback to the event was excellent.
The Mobile Gambling Summit
The Mobile Gambling Summit is a new event for 2013. There has been a huge increase in social gaming and gambling on mobile devices in recent years, and this new event reflects that trend. Following a similar structure to the Mobile Retail Summit, the event will bring together gambling company executives and mobile experts to explore how mobile can be used to increase loyalty and generate new revenue streams.
Masterclassing
We run the Masterclassing series of events in partnership with Camerjam. The format for these events is unique, akin to a speed dating service for businesses. Each half-day event focuses on a particular sector, such as Retail or Financial Services. Delegates attend for free to hear short, 10-minute presentations from six mobile experts. After the presentation, each expert spends 15 minutes on each table, discussing the mobile landscape and answering questions from the delegates on that table, before moving on to the next table, and so on. By the end of the morning or afternoon session, every delegate has had the opportunity to quiz every speaker in more detail about their needs and their own mobile journey.
Effective Mobile Marketing Awards
We launched the Effective Mobile Marketing Awards in 2010. This year’s Awards program attracted over 200 entries from leading global brands, including Barclays, Easyjet, Mazda, Starbucks, British Gas and John Lewis. The Call for Entries for the 2013 Awards will be issued in the Spring.
Webinars
We run sponsored webinars on our Go To Webinar platform for any company that wants to champion an area of mobile marketing activity. We promote the webinar through our various properties, driving registrations. If desired, we can also moderate the webinar on the client’s behalf. In addition, we also run the Making Sense of Mobile webinar series. These are co-sponsored webinars, focusing on one aspect of mobile marketing, in which four companies each speak for 10 minutes, before taking part in a panel debate, moderated by Mobile Marketing Editor, David Murphy.
In 2013, the Making Sense of Mobile series will be looking at:
Mobile Apps – 13 February
Mobile CRM – 10 April
Mobile Advertising – 12 June
Gamification – 18 September
mCommerce – 6 November
