Today we start a new weekly segment on Mobile Marketing Watch dedicated to the companies and individuals that make the mobile marketing and advertising community so interesting to follow. If you have any suggestions for great companies or feel we’re leaving someone out, hit us up in the comments, tweet us at @mobileMW or shoot us an email at editor[at]mobilemarketingwatch.com.
To start things off, we’re dedicating this week’s post to companies that maintain an engaging presence on Twitter and work to create a community around their brand for fellow mobile marketers. If you’re interested in learning more about what makes the mobile marketing industry tick — besides being a dedicated reader of MMW — do yourself a favor and follow the collection of industry insiders we’ve compiled below. Also, if you’d like us to feature you and/or your company, please add a comment below. We’ll review the type of resources you publish and consider you in future posts.
