With mobile more and more becoming a priority in marketer campaigns, the Mobile Mafia Awards were created by the Mobile Media Summit to recognize the multitude of amazing creative work and innovation in the industry. The awards covered nine categories for brands, agencies, publishers, social media and technology companies and were judged by five of the top minds in advertising today: Brandon Berger, chief digital officer, Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide; Steve Hicks, chief digital creative officer, mcgarrybowen; Eric Weisberg, executive creative director, JWT New York; Jonathan Anastas, VP-global brand marketing, digital/social, Activision; and Amir Kassaei, chief creative officer, DDB Worldwide.
"I'm so impressed by both the volume and the quality of the submissions we received. You could really feel the energy around this effort, and I know the jury had a hard time making final decisions on all the innovative, groundbreaking work they received. It all goes to prove how important mobile has become in marketing campaigns. I already can't wait to see next year's entries," said Mr. Johar.
