MyScreen Mobile, Inc. (MyScreen) (PINK SHEETS: MYSL)(FRANKFURT:
WICI) and America Movil (NYSE: AMX)(BMV: AMX)(NASDAQ:
AMOV)(LATIBEX: XAMXL) today announced an agreement to launch
MyScreen's first-of-a-kind interactive mobile advertising service
across Latin America and the Caribbean beginning in the fourth
quarter of 2009. MyScreen's patent-pending technology platform
delivers full-screen advertisements to the mobile phones of opt-in
subscribers and provides them with rewards such as free services,
special offers and discounts.
Together, MyScreen and America Movil will deliver ads to the
mobile network operator's users who voluntarily subscribe to the
service. America Movil has already begun to integrate MyScreen's
platform and initiate plans to roll out the service in the region.
Ads for large consumer brands are slated to be among the first to
be delivered among America Movil's users. According to 2009 Juniper
Research data, mobile advertising revenues in South America from
2009 to 2013 are projected to be approximately $1.3 billion
USD.
"Mobile advertising has tremendous potential, as the penetration
and individuality of the cellular phone allows us to reach a
significant and highly segmented public. MyScreen's solution joins
other mobile advertising solutions already offered by America
Movil," said Marco Quatorze, director of value-added services for
America Movil. "This launch reflects our commitment to stay in the
forefront of the mobile communications industry, offering our
subscribers and shareholders greater value."
Maurizio Angelone, chief executive officer of MyScreen, added:
"MyScreen is a new mobile advertising channel that offers great
potential and will help ensure America Movil's leadership and
recognition in this market. We are proud of our partnership and
focused on our collaboration with America Movil to help maximize
its mobile advertising business."
Angelone said MyScreen differs from the other mobile advertising
solutions available, as MyScreen's ads are:
- Full-screen, visually engaging graphics that convey the
advertisers' brand image
- Delivered in a non-shared advertising environment that
provides brand exclusivity. MyScreen ads are delivered at the end
of every call, creating much better visibility than SMS texts and
banner ads. Banner ads are only visible to consumers when they are
browsing the Internet.
- Designed to enable consumers to engage directly with the ads
using MyScreen's proprietary "AdValue HotKeys." MyScreen greatly
outperforms Internet CTR's, which are widely known to average less
than 1 percent. During a 2009 commercial trial, MyScreen ads
generated click thru rates (CTR's) that exceeded 20 percent.
According to the latest industry data, the average CTR is only 0.1
percent
- Individually targeted to match each subscriber's self-created
demographic and psychographic profiles, making the ads highly
relevant to their unique interests and lifestyles
- Incentive-based, with subscribers accumulating reward points
for every ad they view on their phones
- Points are redeemed in the form of free and bonus telecom
services provided by the operator. Exclusive "made-for-MyScreen"
offers, such as free trial products or special promotional pricing,
are provided by participating advertisers.
Moreover, MyScreen's mobile advertising solution is designed to
integrate seamlessly without interrupting users' regular call
behaviors. Subscribers choose the type of content and ads they
receive from categories such as sports, entertainment, lifestyle
and health. Advertisers can use MyScreen's unique "AdValue HotKeys"
to raise brand awareness, launch products and services, promote
special offers, generate traffic to retail locations, improve
customer loyalty and drive sales.
