Mobile Top 50 - 2014

Mobile has fundamentally changed the way humans interact and transformed how brands connect with consumers.

The rapid rise of smartphones and tablets has paved the way for a marketing platform that eclipses everything else that has gone before in terms of adoption and reach.

In this, our annual celebration of the people at the forefront of this exciting, ever-evolving space, we find out who the 50 most respected and influential individuals from across the UK’s mobile spectrum – those who have championed it as a channel and whose impact has been felt throughout the industry.

The Mobile Top 50 was decided upon after a shortlist of 100 nominated individuals was put to a public vote and the result is an interesting mix of individuals from across the mobile landscape, all who share one thing in common: their continued dedication and passion for mobile innovation.
