Britt Technology Impact Series

A room full of Tuck MBA students experienced this expert panel discussion on the current state of mobile advertising, how it became what it is today and the spectacular opportunities for future growth and success. The “America Runs on Dunkin” mobile campaign was discussed from Adam Cahill’s first-hand experience, as DD is a client of Hill Holliday’s.
