“We are very excited about joining the MMA,” said Pedro Duarte, New Media Manager at Real Madrid. “Mobile has become a key part of our communication strategy so we are looking forward to being able to share our experiences with the wider industry, as well as learning from the great work that other MMA members are doing in the space in order to extend our own initiatives.”
“We’re incredibly pleased to be able to welcome such a major sporting brand as Real Madrid as one of our new members,” said Paul Berney, MMA CMO and MD for EMEA. “Their membership is testament not only to their own commitment to and success with mobile marketing, but also to the power of mobile for sports organisations all over the world.”
