Here are couple of great examples of mobile marketing given by the article:

Domain registrar Network Solutions created a mobile shopping guide for holiday season “Black Friday” sales (http://www.bffeed.com).

Cable giant Comcast is using services such as Twitter, which has an inherent mobile component, to support customers using its “@comcastcares” presence (http://twitter.com/comcastcares).
