Supercharge Your Mobile Marketing Skills at the NEW Mobile Heroes Power Hour

By Judy Connolly | August 20, 2020

Between COVID-19, the upcoming release of Apple iOS 14, and the lack of in-person events, marketers are in need of connection, networking, and knowledge-sharing now more than ever.

With this in mind, Liftoff is kicking off a new series of online events called the Mobile Heroes Power Hour. Limited to 15 to 20 marketers, each Power Hour is a 60-minute deep-dive on a single topic, led by an expert marketer. The workshops are designed to be interactive and insightful, with moderators kicking off each Power Hour by sharing their best practices and personal industry experience before the group dives into an open discussion and Q&A.

The Mobile Heroes Power Hour will be moderated by some of the industry’s top thought-leaders, covering a range of topics from creative best practices to navigating the upcoming iOS 14 changes. All app marketers are welcome to join but space is limited to 20 marketers max so sign up now to avoid disappointment!
