NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Dec 12, 2013) - Meredith Xcelerated Marketing (http://www.mxm.com/) (MXM), the leading content-powered customer engagement agency, announced today that MXM Mobile has been named Best Agency for Mobile in 2013 by iMedia Connection. The iMedia Agency Awards recognize the year's most inventive, future forward agencies and campaigns in digital marketing. 

"Mobile is no longer just a channel; it's an essential part of the integrated marketing mix and the content it contains is just as important as a flawless and innovative execution," said David Brown, Executive Vice President/GM, MXM. "We're thrilled to see MXM recognized for the industry-leading mobile work we've delivered this year for our clients."

iMedia cited outstanding work for long-standing client Trojan as an example of the innovative work that set MXM ahead of other entrants. MXM helped Trojan create and launch a highly interactive mobile optimized website in 2009. They have since enabled the site to drive purchase intent during MTV's Video Music Awards and activated at concerts such as the Vans Warped Tour.

MXM Mobile first won iMedia's Best Agency for Mobile award in 2011, when the agency was called The Hyperfactory.
