I envisioned Jonathan inviting five guests that he really, really rates — connected to the mobile advertising arena — to sit down with him and have a chat on camera.

I thought it would be explosive, exciting and compelling. I wasn’t wrong. If mobile advertising is your thing — and you’d like to see some great minds going-at-it with each other, then keep it locked here to Mobile Industry Review for the next few days.

I’ll be publishing the first video today here and on the MIR Show podcast feed. Jonathan lined up some brilliant guests and I’m very excited to bring them to you.

Looking back at my experience as CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau from 2001 to 2006, when the industry grew from $6 billion to $17 billion in online ad spending, it’s clear that success was not easily won. That’s hindsight, of course, for the online ad spending, but it’s opportunity for mobile advertising. No one wants to make the same mistakes, and everyone wants to get there quicker.
