Advantages: MMA Global Awards are well-respected and draw in a broad range of mobile campaigns from big brands around the globe. Many agencies go to considerable lengths to showcase their best work, often putting together video case studies.
Disadvantages: mobiThinking believes that simple lists of finalists and winners are of limited use as a showcase of mobile excellence, unless they include descriptions, links, videos etc. With the help of the agencies behind these winning campaigns, mobiThinking has collected videos and links to case studies, news etc for the winners and finalists.
Previous winners and case studies: 2009 Winners.
