Mobile Advertising Guidelines

GLOBAL MOBILE ADVERTISING GUIDELINES

In 2005, the MMA published its first set of Mobile Advertising Guidelines for the mobile web. Over the past three years, the guidelines have evolved to include display (mobile web and downloadables) and messaging (SMS and MMS). The next revision of the guidelines will also include video/television.

The guidelines are released every six months and are the result of collaboration across the MMA Mobile Advertising Committees in Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), Latin America (LATAM) and North America (NA). The guidelines have received global support and endorsement from MMA membership world-wide as well as supporting organizations including GSMA, dotMobi Advisory Group, IAB UK, IAB Mexico and so on.

The guidelines will be translated into local languages and as new translations become available, they will be posted here.
