Are you serious about growing your business through mobile? Do you want to learn about the latest tools, trends, and best practices? Join us at MobileBeat, the premier event for mobile marketing and growth professionals in 2015 on July 13-14 in San Francisco.
It is truly a revolution. In 2015 there will be 2 billion smartphones worldwide. Those users will spend on average 3 hours per day on their mobile devices -- more than TV! So what does this all mean for your brand?
Today, customers are now squarely in control, demanding relevance, quality, and consistency. Brands, meanwhile, often don't know where to start to engage these more demanding customers, and they can feel overwhelmed about how to integrate mobile with their broader marketing strategy.
To follow this thread, we gathered several MobileBeat speakers who specialize in honoring storytelling by disrupting its traditional form.

Mike McCue, CEO, Flipboard
In July 2010, they launched Flipboard for iPad: a social magazine that brings people the most informative, entertaining and amazing stories from around the world and from their daily life. With each flip, people can learn about stories and events that take place thousands of miles away or right at home; see life’s great moments in one place; and be inspired by what others share. Today, Flipboard works across iPad, iPhone and Android.
In 1999, McCue founded Tellme Networks, one of the world's largest Internet networks for voice communication. He successfully led the integration of the company's technology into Microsoft's infrastructure following its acquisition. Microsoft bought Tellme in 2007 for $800 million.
Before founding Tellme, McCue worked at Netscape as Vice President of Technology. He joined Netscape after their successful acquisition of the first company he founded, Paper Software, a leader in 3-D browser technology. McCue was honored with a Kilby International Award as a Young Innovator for his work bringing 3-D technology to the world through Netscape's Web browser.
