Mobile marketing is one trend that is sure to stay and marketing and advertising professionals with a solid understanding of this technology are in high demand.  AAF Central Georgia’s April luncheon will cover a wide range of mobile and text marketing topics and we’ll review case studies of companies that “got it right” with their mobile marketing campaigns.

Guest speaker David Grayson – mobile and text marketing guru – will be on hand to help attendees understand the next wave of advertising and marketing and learn the tips and tricks you need to know for a successful mobile or text marketing campaign.

“This is such a relevant topic in our industry and its one trend that marketing professionals need to be aware of and engaged in.  The April luncheon is perfect for anyone that wants to know more about where mobile is going and Grayson is an excellent choice to guide us through the discussion,” AAF Central Georgia President Elizabeth Spear Zupkow said.

Attendees are invited to enjoy a Luigi’s lunch during the event at a cost of $12 for members and $18 for non-members.  AAF Board members will also be on hand to provide more information to anyone interested in learning more about joining AAF Central Georgia – the local chapter of the American Advertising Federation.

Membership is open to those serving in any facet of the marketing or advertising industry as well as anyone interested in learning more about these fields.  Students are also invited to join.   For more information about the March membership meeting, AAF Central Georgia or to find out how you can get involved, visit http://www.aafcentralgeorgia.org/contact-us/ or find us on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/AAFCentralGeorgia.
