Mobile Marketing Excellence Awards 2016

Brands, Retailers, and Agencies Honored for Mobile Marketing Excellence

LOS ANGELES, CA — FunMobility is excited to join the prestigious list of mobile marketing agencies and brands whose work has been recognized by the Mobile Excellence Awards, which honor the companies that have truly set the bar of excellence in mobile technology, entertainment, and lifestyle. The 8th Annual Mobile Excellence Awards are produced by Axis PR & Entertainment and sponsored in part by Intel and YouTube.

FunMobility and Chiquita’s wildly popular Minions Love Bananas” mobile campaign won the award for “Best Branded Experience Made for Mobile,” beating out competition from other major brands in the same category, including Coke Zero, Sesame Street, and SyFy Channel.

Other winners include major brands and retailers such as Heineken, Carl’s Jr., E! Networks, Marvel’s Contest of Champions, and Capital One (the winners for each category are listed below).

The winning campaign

Chiquita and Universal Pictures’ cross-screen, cross-media promotion “Minions Love Bananas” — connected an offline product (bananas) to an engaging digital experience, collecting opt-ins for a massive online audience database in the process.

Medical-grade image recognition technology allowed in-store shoppers to scan 32 different collectible Minions stickers on Chiquita bananas — unlocking new digital content, prizes, and sweepstakes entries.
