News summary by MFWire's editors

Ma told the trade pub that when Vanguard launching "Vanguarding" in 2010, its measured-media spending jumped to $61 million, from $20 million in 2009. In 2011, Vanguard spent another $54 million, pulling back from some channels.

Ma previously served as principal and chief business officer at mutual fund industry consulting shop kasina. He joined Vanguard in June 2010.
