Original:

My company held a “mobile media day” meeting today. We invited a lot of media partners, agencies and clients to participate in, which is to enhance our influence in the industry. We set several panels, and invited experts to talk about their opinions, centering around different topics. However, I’ve joined in half of the meeting, and I didn’t get some trends of mobile marketing trends or deep insight from these “expert” , but the advantage of their own media or product . It is more likely a “media recommendation” meeting, which is meaningless for the mobile marketing industry. Maybe the purpose of holding this meeting is just show off our power and influence to the clients and rivals, which is just for public relationship and social.

What reminder me the most famous advertising festival in the west coast of France, Cannes international advertising festival, which should have boosted the development of advertising, main for creative. However, resent years, this festival is becoming an annual social meeting, calling up the innovative people around world and inviting entertaining stars to drawing attention to the festival.

The meeting like mobile media day or advertising festival should push the development of the industry and concluding industry trends to deliver ideas or concept to us so that we can use them in our daily work to serve our clients better instead of inviting superstars and holding social party.
