In its ninth edition, the MMA SMARTIES is the world’s only global mobile marketing awards programme celebrating outstanding innovation, creativity and achievement in the modern communications world where mobile is at the heart of consumer engagement. This year’s SMARTIES will honour marketers who have played a pivotal role in shaping the future of modern marketing and leveraged mobile applications to effectively deliver impressive results. New this year, the “Winning from Home” category pays tribute to the marketers who have beaten all odds and obstacles of working from home during a global pandemic to deliver creative and innovative ideas.

“Mobile continues to be a disruptive force, even more so with our increased reliance on it,” said Moneka Khurana, Country Head, India. “Our special category at this year’s SMARTIES recognised innovative marketing who successfully adapted to changing consumer behaviour and during these extraordinary times, and embraced disruptive ideas, creatives and campaigns to showcase compelling results.” Khurana further commented

The “Winning from Home” category comprises five sections. They are:

  • Purposeful Marketing: Campaigns and messaging created to engage in purposeful marketing with consumers, using mobile as a key medium.
  • Seamless Consumer Experience: Campaigns that enrich digital experiences or enable new methods of connecting with the consumer while adhering to social distancing norms.
  • Best Use of Mobile to Drive Sales: Brands that have adopted new methods or pivoted to digital as a key sales channel.
  • Innovation & Creativity: Campaigns that enabled innovation and creativity while primarily leveraging digital media. These campaigns have delivered a significant impact on the current business and enabled significant shifts to digital investments.
