MoMo Philadelphia – Oct. 3rd – How Mobile Transforms Local Media
Posted on: September 18, 2011 – Filed under: Philadelphia
One our marquee events, we are looking forward to an innovative and exciting discussion on the current state of mobile media and advertising, along with the companies that are making it happen.
In coordination with the Philly Ad Club, Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic will bring together the best and the brightest of the Philadelphia-area media and advertising industry for a lively and interactive event focusing on one of the hottest topics in the industry – how mobile is transforming local media.
Keynote – Greg Osberg, Publisher and CEO, Philadelphia Media Network
We are happy to host keynote speaker Greg Osberg. Greg is the Publisher and CEO for Philadelphia Media Network, Inc., which owns The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com. When combined, these three publications reach an average weekly audience of 2.2 million adults – more than the combination of the three evening television news shows, or the combination of those radio stations ranked in the top ten during drive-time programming. Greg will be speaking about Project Liberty, PMN’s new mobile tablet initiative displaying digital editions of the The Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News.
