Celltick Launches First Global Advertising Network for the Idle Screen


LONDON, January 20 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    Celltick, the leading provider of idle screen mobile marketing, today

announces the launch of livescreen.com, the world's first web-based ad server

which allows local and global advertisers to purchase idle screen advertising

in all markets where Celltick's LiveScreen Media platform is operational. The

platform was built in collaboration with BidVertiser an international ad

network serving billions of ads per month, using a proprietary ad serving

platform.


    Celltick's LiveScreen Media allows millions of users around the world to

receive entertainment, news, sports, business and lifestyle teasers, as well

as advertising and operator promotions, direct to the idle screens of their

mobile handsets. The content broadcast to each customer is segmented

according to their historical responses, geographic location, the time of day

and individual demographics - ensuring that all content is relevant to the

person who receives it.


    This announcement further reinforces Celltick's stated media strategy.

The first phase was to shift its business model from selling technology to

managing a media channel for operators. These services have already achieved

critical mass in their respective markets and are currently covering over 20

million users.

campaigns prompting an immediate response from interested consumers.

Advertisers who have already taken advantage of this unique media channel

include Coke, America Express, Unilever and Honda. With the launch of

livescreen.com, long tail advertisers will now be able to participate in idle

screen promotions as well.


    A recent survey conducted among LiveScreen Media users indicates that 19%

of customers were exposed to advertising on the idle screen during the last 3

months.


    - 43% of LiveScreen Media users are between the ages of 25-35, 40% are

      between the ages of 14-24.

    - 65% of LiveScreen Media users are male, 35% female.


    When examining users' attitudes towards, advertising, the majority (57%)

indicated that the most appealing proposition by advertisers on the idle

screen is a discount on the advertised service or product.

launching a global ad network specifically for the idle screen. The idle

screen represents one of the biggest mobile advertising opportunities in the
