• mobiThinking verdict: The MMA Awards are well-respected and in the past has drawn in a broad range of mobile campaigns from big brands around the globe. In recent years, however, the variety of mobile media has diminished as novelty mobile apps have come to the fore. The MMA now provides links to video case studies for many campaigns, which is great, but unfortunately these are hosted on Dropbox, so many don’t work so well. It would also be good to see links to campaigns and/or descriptions of the campaigns or any notes from the judges explaining why they won. In 2011, the MMA rebranded the awards ‘The Smarties’. While this name might sound catchier, it may cause some confusion, not least as Smarties is not an acronym for the awards.
