Today, the Mobile Marketing Association announced the results of the EMEA Board of Directors election, held back in March and for which I asked for your support here at MobHappy.
I’m delighted to announce that not only did I get elected in the face of some very tough competition, but that I’m going to be Chairman this year, which is pretty damn cool. So if you voted for me or lobbied anyone in any way - thank you very much and I’ll do my best to do a great job.
Congrats to the outgoing Board, ably chaired by Vodafone’s Richard Saggers, who will be a hard act to follow.
This year is a great team including representatives from Orange, Google, O2/Telefonica, Nokia, Turkcell, Coca-Cola, T-Mobile, Yahoo! and AKQA. It’s hard to believe that a little startup called AdMob would appear in such a prestigious list after only two years.
If you have any ideas about how you’d like to see the MMA improve or just have some general comments, I’m hear to listen and I promise my colleagues are too. Let me know (in complete confidence if you like) and I’m happy to throw it into the melting pot to help the MMA really rock this year.
And if you’re not already a member, but you’re in this space, isn’t it about time you joined and had a voice in the development of your industry?

Congrats Russell. I’m happy to see you on the board!
Congratulations!
Well done Russell. I’m sure that everyone in the mobile advertising/marketing industry is looking forward to seeing what you will bring to the MMA. Writing that list of improvements now …
Thanks for the comments, everyone.
I mean it about feedback - tell us what you need to do.
Russell
Happy for you Russell!
I like the new Mobhappy look, though evidently you aren’t much of a Twit
I meant Twit(ter)
But yeah, one thing we would like you to do, is to bring the focus of the MMA, to India, and other countries, so that the MMA has a truly global focus.
Werner
Werner - I am only Chairman of the EMEA Board, which doesn’t include India. But I will pass your comment on.
There is a Asia/Pacific board, so maybe you should get involved?
Russell
Congratulations! I’m teaching myself about mobile marketing and wow, the future certainly does appear to be unlimited…..
Best wishes,
Barbara
