PALO ALTO, CA, Apr 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
Mozes, Inc. (www.mozes.com), an interactive mobile marketing service that
enables
customer-centric marketing campaigns through mobile devices and the Web, has
announced that 1.3 million participants now interact with their favorite bands
through the Mozes network. This marks the latest milestone on the company's
steep growth trajectory.
Mozes is revolutionizing mobile marketing by helping marketers design
flexible
campaigns to deliver messages that customers not only trust, but welcome, on
their mobile phones. Since officially launching its service in March 2007,
1.3 million people have participated in a Mozes campaign with over 50% opting
into a Mozes Mob (mobile list) in order to receive ongoing exclusive text and
voice messages from artists such as Avril Lavigne, Lloyd, Brooks and Dunn and
Keyshia Cole.
Reaching yet another milestone, more than one million voice message
minutes-- personalized voice messages between bands and their fans -- have
crossedthe airwaves since Mozes added voice messaging as a service in October.
Mozes
customers, such as music label Universal Motown Records Group (UMRG), whose
artists include Akon, Cash Money, Hinder and Ashanti, have been able to
further extend their connections to fans through the voice service.
"Mozes' voice message service lets our artists and fans have a two-way
conversation that is personal, fresh and real," said Cameo Carlson, Senior Vice
President of Digital Business for Universal Motown Recording Group. "Mozes
provides us with a comprehensive platform that allows our artists' fans to
connect
through text, voice and the Web, and as a trusted consumer service maximizes our
reach to new and existing music fans."
Mozes' on-demand, web-based CRM platform powers text message and voice
campaigns (IVR), which are an increasingly important part of how
companies,music bands, sports teams and other organizations communicate with
their
customers and fans. As an example, during a recent tour, top-selling band
Rascal Flatts saw more than 40,000 fans participate in Mozes-driven campaigns,
thanks
to text message and Web-based interactions that gave fans access to exclusive
content and music. The mob was instrumental in generating grassroots support
that helped garner the band a People's Choice award in 2007.
"Passing the one millionth US mobile participant is a great milestone for us
and for mobile marketing in North America," said Mozes CEO Dorrian Porter.
"Behind every text message and voicemail is a real person which makes mobile a
unique part of the marketing mix. We are committed to providing marketers
and consumers with a trusted and valuable service."
