Redefining mobile and celebrating India’s best in mobile marketing at the MMA India Forum & SMARTIES 2017

The Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) India Forum returns on 27 October 2017 at The Leela. The sixth edition of the forum will see brands, agencies and publishers gather to share experiences and successes in mobile marketing, and exchange ideas on how mobile can be integrated into campaigns. In the evening, India’s best in mobile marketing will be recognised and celebrated at the SMARTIES India Awards. The SMARTIES is the only global mobile marketing awards programme that honours innovation, creativity and success in mobile marketing.

Increased mobile video capabilities are set to be a game changer, with the mobile video market expected to reach over $13 billion by 2020. At the same time, the explosion in consumer data is driving machine learning and artificial intelligence, enabling marketers to better target consumers. Marketers are also calling for more accurate measurement and attribution standards. These are just a few of the mobile marketing trends the industry is witnessing this year.

This year’s MMA Forum India will focus on how mobile is redefining the way we engage the world and the radical changes in how companies interact with consumers. Speakers at the Forum include the following:

Sapna Chadha, Head of Marketing, Google India and Southeast Asia

Sam Singh, Director of Agency Business, Google India

D Shivakumar, Chairman & CEO, PepsiCo India Holdings Pvt. Ltd. and Chairman MMA India

Prasun Basu, President, South Asia, Nielsen

Maneesha Khanna, Director – Global Media & Content COE, PepsiCo

Rohit Dadwal, Managing Director, Mobile Marketing Association Asia Pacific Limited

Vasuta Agarwal, Vice President & General Manager, India, InMobi

Sanchita Johri, Group Digital Marketing Lead India and Digital Head of FemCare APAC, Johnson & Johnson (Consumer, India)

Matthew Talbot, CEO, BBM

Mallikarjun Das, Group CEO, Starcom

CVL Srinivas, CEO, South Asia, GroupM

Hemant Mehta, Managing Director, Media, Digital & Retail, Kantar IMRB, and Chief Strategy Officer, Kantar South Asia

Rohit Sharma, CEO and CO-Founder, POKKT

Johnny Li, Vice President, Global Sales & Business Development, Cheetah Mobile

The Forum will take place against the backdrop of a rapidly growing mobile marketing industry in India, with the country boasting over 1 billion mobile subscribers and 79% of web traffic originating from mobile compared to 50% globally. These rapid changes in media consumption have led to a period of transition, and what comes next is unprecedented – a new mobile age built upon three key pillars that the Forum will cover:

Emerging formats in mobile: The craze over the free-to-play, augmented reality mobile game Pokémon Go in 2016 is one to be remembered. We’ve seen an increase in the use of VR/AR and other emerging formats, which extend the brand experience beyond the mobile screen and change the way we tell and consume stories.

Effective Measurement: Measuring the effectiveness of mobile marketing has always been an iffy exercise, making it challenging for marketers to justify mobile spend. New technological developments have rendered it easier to harness consumer data, thereby ushering in smarter measurements and metrics.

Advanced Data Analytics: As technology advances, data collection – and the customer engagement tactics that data makes possible – will become even more nuanced, enabling marketers to run more successful retargeting campaigns and creating more value for them by improving their data.

On a mission to take the Indian Cricket team to the top spot in all 3 formats this home season, Virat Kohli showcases his determination and perseverance in the pursuit of excellence in a new film released by Star Sports. One of the most sought-after global sportspersons, Kohli’s discipline, relentlessness and unmatched drive has made him the leading ODI and T20I batsman in the world and an inspiration for legions of young fans in India.

The film takes the viewers through a day in the life of Virat Kohli, portraying his never-say-die attitude. It begins with Kohli waking up at the crack of dawn, driven by a commitment to his goals. His day begins at the gym, as he works out to stay focussed and fit, and always aiming to better his last best performance. At the practise pitch, Kohli is seen hard at work honing his batting prowess, as the film calls-out his cricketing achievements. “When you’re ready to expend every ounce of your energy, all you need to do is Believe,” says Kohli, as the film concludes.

A Star India spokesperson said, “We, at Star Sports, constantly strive to raise the bar when it comes to showcasing world-class cricket, and bringing fans closer to the sport and its heroes. Virat Kohli embodies a commitment towards sport and fitness, which is evident in his relentless pursuit of excellence. Under his dynamic leadership, Team India is looking to dominate world cricket across all formats. We are confident that cricket fans across the country will join to cheer the men in blue as they reach their true potential in this exciting home season.”
