The Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) has unveiled its new European Board of Directors for the 2009 - 2010 period. The election of the new board members comes after over a month of nominations and voting by MMA members, and precedes the election of an Executive Committee, the members of which will also make up the Global Board. The MMA global and regional board members work together with MMA staff to oversee and guide the Mobile Marketing Association and its industry initiatives, continuing to foster region-wide leadership on the key issues that affect the industry such as metrics and measurement and the protection of consumer privacy.
“The European market is of central importance to the development of mobile marketing going forward,” says MMA Managing Director for Europe, Paul Berney. “With so many leading industry figures serving on the Board, we will be able to make great progress over the next year, building on the solid foundations created by the previous Boards to further advance the MMA’s mission in the region.”
Since its establishment in April 2007, the MMA European Board has launched region-specific Mobile Advertising and Proximity Marketing Guidelines, conducted research into consumer attitudes to the mobile channel in key markets and held numerous industry education and networking events.
