Last week I had the chance to lead a workshop on mobile marketing at the 3rd Annual Mobile Commerce Summit in Las Vegas, a conference focused on the financial services industry and designed to help companies figure out how to crack the code on this powerful new medium. My presentation kicked off the conference Wednesday afternoon, and I was able to share the stage with Paul Moore from Fifth Third Bank, a client of ours who we helped on the launch of the bank’s mobile banking platform. While we were nervous about filling up a three-hour workshop window and not losing people to the many distractions of Vegas, we had a nice, attentive crowd and the time flew by.

Embedded below you can see an edited version of the presentation that we gave. Alas, you had to be there to get to see the Fifth Third case and some other goodies that are not appropriate for broad sharing. Overall, the goal of the presentation was to help financial services marketers get an understanding of the way that best-in-class marketers are using mobile, and then provide a framework and industry-specific direction that they could bring to bear on their own businesses. Of course, my overall theme was that mobile marketing must be meaningful in order to earn customer attention and drive sales.
