Trailer Park’s Advanced Content Group (TPAC), a leader in the development of mobile applications for all areas of the entertainment industry, continues to further expand its efforts within the mobile marketing arena, and, concurrently, has named Todd Harrison as VP, Mobile New Business. Prior to joining TPAC, Harrison had been Head of Western Sales for iLoop Mobile, Inc., a leading provider of mobile marketing and mobile campaign management services. The announcement was made by Rick Eiserman, CEO, Trailer Park.
Within a short time frame, TPAC has quickly made its mark within the mobile marketing industry by forming strategic partnerships with such major companies as Apple, Microsoft and Paramount Digital Entertainment. In his new post, Harrison, who will be charged in pursuing such new partnerships in the future, will report to Curt Doty, Executive Vice President, TPAC.
Eiserman said, “Few marketing channels have so quickly captivated the attention of marketers as mobile. Explosive consumer adoption, rich user experiences and extensive customer data are only a few reasons why mobile holds so much appeal. Our Advanced Content Group offers brands the ability to create engaging mobile experiences that are aligned to their larger marketing goals. The addition of Todd Harrison to our company’s efforts will surely be highly effective.”
Adds Doty, “We ‘get’ screensโthese are simple words for what can be a complicated marketing goal. But, in fact, we have been successfully creating experiences for the big screen, small screen and every other screen that exists longer than just about anyone else. Now, with our focus on Mobile Marketing, we can help brands extend their reach and, unlike traditional agencies, we can offer an end-to-end solution including up-front strategic services and back-end campaign management/hosting. From SMS campaigns to mobile sites to apps for smart phones and emerging tablets, the talent here at Trailer Park has the experience in making them all and, more importantly, making them all work together. We are very excited about having Todd join our growing team of mobile experts.”
“I am profoundly excited to have joined Trailer Park’s Advanced Content Group,” said Harrison. “Trailer Park is the next generation creative mobile marketing agency and is uniquely positioned to leverage their world class creative capabilitiesโcombined with their mobile development capabilitiesโto successfully guide their clients in the new world of ‘Mobile 2.0.’ Unlike a few years ago, clients are no longer just asking what mobile is. Today, they want to know how mobile can be effectively and successfully integrated into a complete marketing strategy to create a compelling, intimate and ongoing relevant relationship with a new generation of consumers.”
