NEW YORK, NY, Jun 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Mobile content technology vendor, m-Wise (OTCBB: MWIS) announces its
newly formed relationship with Malaco Music Group.
Malaco has a long history of providing some of the best music in Gospel,
Southern, Urban, Blues, R&B, Soul and many other genres. Malaco's artists
are award winning and Billboard music chart spot holders. Throughout the
history and notable story of Malaco Music Group, it is clear that they
have always been and continue to be dedicated to music and play a huge
role in the development and representation of Southern music.
"m-Wise, is excited to partner with Malaco, a leader in Gospel, Southern,
Urban, Blues, and R&B which are all new genres for us," says Leo Giel,
m-Wise's VP of Sales N. America. "We pride ourselves in working with the
best and there is no better partner for this genre than Malaco." Malaco
currently has an impressive 2,000 hits on their website each day, and
forecasts a significant lift in this number with the launch of their
ringtone offering. This feature will be promoted virtually through their
website, blogspot, Twitter and on physical CDs. On many of the new CD
releases Malaco offers in 2009, a coupon code will be included for a free
ringtone.
This coupon code can be redeemed online at www.malaco.com.
Burton Doss, director of IT at Malaco, said, "Malaco has been looking for
a technology partner who can provide not only ringtones to our customers,
but also full track downloads and there is no partner better than m-Wise
Inc. in the US." The pay per-download ringtone feature will be done by
utilizing MOMA, a proprietary software created by m-Wise Inc., which is
integrated as a "one stop shop" for mobile operators, content providers,
wireless ASP's and media producers like Malaco. The MOMA platform delivers
end-users with a state-of-the-art mobile experience and makes it easy to
manage and deliver content like music, games, videos and other
entertainment while adding real-time end user capabilities like voting,
mobile marketing, advertising and access to live data. Within this
package, MOMA also supports transactional billing, customer care and
marketing capabilities.
Malaco will be offering the popular "Do the Ricky Bobby" by BHamp as a
ringtone and coming soon will be ringtones by many other well known
artists such as the gospel group Bebe and Cece Winans. In addition,
Malaco has just signed on Queen Emily from last season's 'America's Got
Talent' and intends to use songs from her upcoming album within this
feature as well.
