Kim Dushinski

Large brand marketers and advertisers have dominated mobile marketing campaigns as the mobile ecosystem has developed. Brands and agencies have demonstrated the power of adding mobile phone SMS marketing as part of their overall marketing mix to increase brand awareness.

Increasing numbers of small business are launching mobile marketing campaigns to improve campaign results among consumers who carry their mobile phones with them 24/7.  Michael Becker calls this the “untethered engagement” unique to mobile phones.

Mobile marketers and advertisers are learning how to better target specific consumer demographics, improve brand recognition, build better lists that convert and boost direct response to marketing campaigns.
