Editor's Notes
Welcome to MRM Worldwide, our Seattle office and the Digital Immersion Lab Great Crowd today – indicative of the interest level in Mobile MarketingWe are very excited about the panel and presenters here today, both from MRM and from a variety of partner companiesMobile has been a fractured and challenging channel for most marketers to navigateToday we hope to inform and simplify so that you can put mobile to work in your organization or further develop plans you have underwayTo do this, we going to spend our time as follows: MW to provide an overview of the mobile opportunity for context Niles from Ansible will provide a number of case studies that demonstrate mobile marketing in action Our panel will share insights and answer questions. We have some prepared questions, but look forward to answering question from the audience and being interactive, including texting questions from your mobile device After the panel , all our presenters and panelists will be available in our demo area to talk 1:1 Before we get into the meat of the program I’d like to share a little bit about the Digital Immersion Lab and the spirit behind these events.
My name is Holly Brown and I’m the Managing Director here in the Seattle office. I’m also a founding member of Populist, an IPG team from a variety of agencies that make up a social marketing think tank. I come to MRM with a 20 something year career as a technology marketer and as a purveyer of technology to do marketingI don’t want to do a commercial for MRM per se, but I do want to underscore why we’re here today and why the DIL is an important part of what we deliver and the spirit that we bring our client and partner relationships.
This complexity is no more evident than when you look at this eye chart, which is a “list” of MRM Service offerings. Yes – this slide is a bit of a commercial, but more to the point, Agency partners provide a wealth of technology solutions in service of marketing. It’s nearly impossible for any one person, or any single discipline to know everything there is to know. I often say that our two most important jobs are to be architects and general contractors.
And we have to always keep our eyes on the prize. That’s to say that consumers engage in our clients brands when they find the experience useful!So the spirit of the DIL is essentially to provide Utility to our clients, colleagues and partners
With all this in mind I want to leave you with this, that the spirit of the DIL is to 1) share knowledge so the that the latest greatest tools and technologies are accessible, and discoverable.2) partner with experts like the folks we have here on the panel today and to partner with our clients to make sense of it all.3) To invite you to our table where we hope you’ll learn, share, question and ideate. At the table today, we’re serving mobile market overview, case studies and panel discussion. We hope you find it useful!
Now I’d like to turn the program over to Michael Weaver our VP of development and Mobile Discipline Lead. MW brings a wealth of experience and passion to this space. I won’t say he’s been around since dirt, especially since yesterday was his birthday. But he has been around Mobile since mobile was around He built the first advertsing exchange and network for mobile advertising and has been advising and buidlign companies in the mobile marketing space for most of his career.I put you in very good hands as we jump in. Michael??
