At a time when mobile markets world over are going through a rough patch, MMA (Mobile Marketing Association) has announced the launch of a new industry job board.
The aim is to provide recruiters with some support for hiring talent in the mobile marketing industry. Developed in partnership with SmartBrief, a leading publisher of targeted business news and information, the MMA SmartBrief Job Board will be delivered each weekday morning to more than 13,000 mobile marketing professionals across North America, 60% of whom are senior executives.
Recruiting and developing talent is a challenge in the competitive mobile marketing industry, which is estimated to grow significantly in the next five years, believes MMA.
