Greg Stuart is the CEO of the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA), the leading global media trade group focused on the burgeoning mobile marketing industry. Over the past two years, Greg has transformed the association, attracting business leaders across the industry to lock arms and advance the mobile marketing movement.

He was formerly the CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), the trade group for interactive advertising and marketing. During his tenure, Greg grew the IAB’s revenue significantly, providing vision and direction to spur the industry to invest $17 billion in Internet advertising, a monumental leap from $6 billion when he first started with the IAB.
 
With nearly three decades spent in marketing, two of which focused on digital and emerging technology, Greg has worked across the media landscape including roles with Y&R, Sony Online Ventures, Cars.com, Flycast Ad Network and advised two dozen other venture-backed businesses.
 
In addition to being a member of the National Speakers Association, Greg is an author of What Sticks: Why Most Advertising Fails and How to Guarantee Yours Succeeds, which was recognized by AdAge as the as the No. 1 book of the “10 books you should have read”.
 
Industry authorities have awarded Greg for his work as a pioneer in emerging media. In 2006, AdAge selected Greg as part of the “10 Who Made Their Mark” and he is a regular contributor to leading publications such as Fast Company for his views on mobile marketing.
