There has been a high level of interest in the workshops every year since they were first run in 2010, as each interactive workshop is a great way for participants to immerse themselves in mobile marketing and to have questions answered first-hand by the experts.
SESSION 1:Selling Mobile Advertising
The workshop will highlight the key strategies participants need to consider in order to attract new revenue through mobile advertising sales. Participants will learn how to sell mobile as a medium, understanding the unique selling benefits of mobile, and will be able to overcome the objections of mobile buyers. Agencies and solution providers will benefit the most from this workshop, as will brands that need to raise the value proposition of mobile as part of the marketing mix in order to sell it internally within their organisations. Participants can expect to see examples of mobile advertising campaigns and solution-selling models that deliver results for advertising buyers and revenue for sellers.
SESSION 2: Insights into Mobile Marketing Strategies and Tactics for Effectively Targeting Today's Consumers
This workshop is designed to bring together senior marketing leaders in brand and retailer communities to create peer-to-peer discussions and share strategic insights and tactics on what is working and what is not working in mobile marketing across marketing sectors, including presentations, case studies, and an interactive breakout session.
"The fully-interactive workshops will give participants the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of mobile marketing, first-hand, from some of the best practitioners in the industry," said Rohit Dadwal, Managing Director, MMA APAC.
