Background Info

Over the last few years, the world's mobile operators have invested in excess of €10 billion in the roll-out of 3G and 3.5G networks, as well as bidding substantial amounts in operator licences. Faster networks have allowed high-volume data transmission, enabled streaming video, and as a result, they have created an entirely new channel for TV, video and music. How has this investment paid off? By booking a place at visiongain’s inaugural Mobile Advertising Conference and Awards ceremony, you can find out!

It is generally accepted that advertising will be a required as part of the future funding of mobile content, and brands can see the value of associating their name with the content people love. Furthermore, with stabilising voice traffic, operators are looking beyond the consumer for ways to increase revenues. Internet and mobile advertising revenues have already overtaken radio, and are approaching that of newspapers and magazines. Will your company be involved in this transformation of the value chain? By attending this event you can guarantee your place in this lucrative new sector.

With the exhaustive targeting opportunities available on mobile, and the corresponding increase in ad click-through rates, we have entered a new era in personalised selling, where payment and billing is built in to the device used to view the advertisement. With built-in cameras and GPS now common, the possibilities for two-way campaigns are only limited by the imagination of the creative agencies. Are they ready to launch themselves into this medium, and what unique possibilities will this bring? By attending this conference, you will learn in which technology formats and services to invest.

This eagerly anticipated conference and banquet will allow your business to profit from the new opportunities available with the advances in technology, as well as offering extensive networking with industry leaders. Join now to confirm your company’s success.

As with visiongain’s previous two sold out events, space will be limited, and I urge you to book your place now to avoid disappointment.

Stremezzo
The main “idea” behind Stremezzo is that consumers will be confused if their Mobile Video Service package forces them to continually be switching between on-screen applications depending on the type of network that will deliver their video. Streamezzo’s approach starts with the set of Mobile Video Service products that a cell phone service provider decides to deploy. Then, the Streamezzo environment creates an easy-to-use on-screen application that provides all end-users with a simple, convenient, yet powerful User Interface that provides easy access to all options that are available. The benefi t of the Streamezzo approach is that end-users find what they want quickly, and, therefore, use the service more often. As consumers become experienced using the Streamezzo approach, they become loyal to it, which makes it more difficult for competing services to get them to “churn” away from their existing service provider. In today’s highly competitive cellular service market, having a simplifi ed handset User Interface that provides quick access to a wide range of Mobile Video Service offerings becomes a key competitive advantage for cellular service providers around the world.
