The Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) has released an Interactive Creative Framework aimed at helping marketers build and execute effective mobile campaigns.
The information is based on analysing more than 450 global mobile campaigns including winners of the association’s annual Smarties Global Mobile Awards Program. Brands included Delta, Dunkin’ Brands, Mercedes-Benz, Nike, O2 and Samsung.
Based on the common traits and different creative strategies, the MMA came up with five key benchmarks for how brands can approach mobile.
The ‘Brand Activation Remote’ - Using mobile as a brand campaign unifier, bringing access, experience and commerce together along the path to purchase. According to the MMA, the opportunity for advertisers here is to use devices and campaigns to close the loop on prospects and leads, drive conversion, commerce and loyalty. Examples listed by the MMA include Omo’s Mobile Loyalty Program; Mercedes #youdrive campaign where viewers controlled the commercial using Twitter; and the Range Rover Evoque iAd, which developed an interactive tour of the vehicle for Apple iPad users.
There is no time like the present - Addressing consumers in real-time via mobile by tapping into three ‘Ps’: Personal, pervasive and proximity. This approach includes shared experiences, native executions, location-based incentives and dynamic ad serving. Brands that have used this type of mobile activity effectively include Samsung’s ‘Life’s a Photo – Take it’ campaign for the Galaxy camera, which used Tumblr and custom media on mobile; and Quizno’s ‘Satisfying Hunger’ campaign, which was based on geo-targeted mobile ads.
Content rules - The MMA identified compelling content at the heart of a range of successful mobile programs including games, music, stories and collectables. The common thread across these types of campaigns is immersive interaction between the brand and consumer. Brand examples include the Dunkin’ Donuts’ ‘Iced Coffee Creator’ customisation mobile game; and the Turbo Racing League mobile game app by DreamWorks Animation SKG.
Enable bespoke consumer experiences - This is where brands are customising mobile experiences using preferences, tastes and needs to deliver more personalised interactions, the MMA said. Examples include O2’s ‘Priority Moments’ location-based loyalty program; and Nike’s FuelBand and online measurement system.
A toolkit to get things done - Providing utility tools and calculators that enable consumers to be more efficient and save time, or enabling consumers to transact on the spot using their mobile device. Among those campaigns that have utilised this approach are BOS Ice Tea’s ‘Incredible Vendor Robot’ activated by tweets; and Johnson & Johnson’s Zyrtec AllergyCast App with symptom tracker.
In a statement, MMA CEO, Greg Stuart, said creativity and innovation are fundamental to brands successfully utilising mobile as a communications and engagement platform.
“These benchmarks provide marketers and their agencies with a concise framework on how to think more strategically about mobile across the purchase funnel as well as how to leverage uniqueness that only mobile can provide,” he said.
“We hope this will stimulate new ideas and help the industry continue to raise the bar on mobile creativity, effectiveness and further innovation.”

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
