AdMob's Buckley Takes Senior MMA Position

The Mobile Marketing Association (MMA), which represents more than 500 companies across the mobile ecosystem, has announced the appointment of Russell Buckley, European Managing Director of AdMob, as Vice Chairman of the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Chapter. He replaces dotMobi CEO, Neil Edwards. Buckley, also a current EMEA Board member, was unanimously chosen to assume the position as Vice Chairman. He will take an active role in fulfilling the MMA EMEAs charter to build a sustainable ecosystem for the mobile marketing industry in the EMEA region, while protecting the consumer experience. He has already begun fulfilling his role by leading the EMEA board meeting in Vienna last week.  Its a great honour to be appointed to this position with the MMA, says Buckely. I look forward to taking an active role in growing the mobile marketing industry in EMEA as well as globally, and building the MMAs already fantastic work in the region. Buckley will be working directly with Vodafones Head of Mobile Advertising, Richard Saggers, who chairs the EMEA board. Saggers says: Russell Buckley is a welcome addition to the team. We look forward to putting his expertise and knowledge to good use in the further development of the mobile marketing industry in the EMEA region.
