The first set of global guidelines issued by the association, are designed to encourage the uptake of mobile advertising by brands worldwide whilst enhancing and protecting the customer’s experience, by creating a framework for brands and media companies to deliver mobile advertising in a positive and consistent way.

The MMA has also introduced a publication called Mobile Advertising Overview which will help those new to the space get educated. The guidelines include recommended aspect ratios and banner dimensions, maximum file sizes, file formats and other technical specifications.
