Mobile Marketing: It's Personal. (it's also direct, viral and cost-effective)

Mobile marketing can be a giant puzzle. We'd be happy to put the pieces together for you. Join us on Thursday, March 11th as AAF Dubuque welcomes Jamie Buelt.

Event Photo

Jamie Buelt is a former financial reporter and PR strategist turned mobile marketer evangelist. After 20 years of PR and marketing experience in banking, insurance, technology, gaming, the law, agriculture and health care with clients such as Microsoft, GlaxoSmithKline, AmerUs, Weitz and more, it only made sense to buy into a fledgling mobile marketing company that had built one of the best broadcast texting applications in the business. Since making the transition in late 2008, Catchwind has been on the move. The company is doing business with the gold standards in brands including Harrah's and American Dairy Queen. This year, Catchwind was selected as the texting platform for the 25th anniversary tour of the DQ Blizzard. In addition, The company handles texting for the Iowa Lottery, Syngenta, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and it just launched the platform for Bullrun, which just started airing on Speed TV. Catchwind was one of the first mobile platforms in the country to market a white-label technology solution to marketers. That means Catchwind provides the backend technology heavy lifting for marketers who need a robust, scalable application for mobile. In 2010, Jamie was named to Mobile Marketer's Mobile Women to Note 2010 list.
