A mobile campaign is a campaign, usually marketing, advertising, or public relations-related, through which organizations contact their audience through SMS (text messaging). This form of campaigning allows organizations to reach out and establish relationships with an audience in a more individualized, intimate way.

In 2012, there were over 131 million votes in a single night, setting the world mobile voting record.[3] With over 90% of Americans having cell phones,[4] and there being over 6.8 billion cell phones in circulation globally versus 2.4 billion with internet access,[5] mobile campaigns are evolving to be the way of the future in advertising and consumer engagement.
