Polish Mobile Network Operator, Play, Experiences Mobile Advertising Campaigns
Powered by Mobixell's Ad-It(TM) Mobile Advertising Solution
Campaign on Play's WAP Portal Bears First Fruit of Strategic Global Alliance
Between Mobixell and OgilvyOne

CUPERTINO, California, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobixell, a leading
provider of mobile advertising solutions, has been selected by Play, a 3G
operator in Poland, to deploy Mobixell's Ad-It(TM) as the platform for its
WAP channel. Play and Mobixell have trialled the new advertising service on
Play's WAP portal. The campaign ran from March-April, during which time the
operator ran 33 different advertising promotions, including a premium
campaign designed by Ogilvy Poland to promote the new Motorola MotoROKR E8
handset. The MotoROKR campaign is the first venture undertaken as a global
partnership between digital marketing agency, OgilvyOne, and Mobixell. The
campaign was implemented by OgilvyAction, the brand activation arm of the
Ogilvy Group.
    Mobixell is providing Play Mobile with a WAP Advertising solution powered
by the Mobixell Ad-It(TM) platform, including: inventory management,
trafficking, campaign management, business operation and the Ad Server
functions. Ogilvy Poland designed the Motorola campaign which featured on the
operator's WAP Portal and has generated an impressive Click Through Rate
(CTR) of 4.3% on average, reaching 13% at its highest.
    Motorola's Director of Marketing for Central Europe, Ms. Malgorzata
Matusiewicz commented: "We are extremely excited about the dramatic results
achieved by our new music phone campaign. We are already using mobile
advertising as part of our ongoing marketing mix for product promotions."
Jonathan MacDonald, Senior Advertising Consultant at OgilvyOne added:
"Such results will naturally encourage other advertisers to consider
diverting part of their digital campaign budget into mobile campaigns, as
proving Return on Investment (ROI) from ad campaigns is becoming more
important than ever in these uncertain economic times."
    According to Avichai Levy, Executive Vice President of Marketing at
Mobixell: "The next stage of the campaign might involve extending the variety
of adverts from WAP banners to include SMS, MMS and video advertising. Given
the exceptional results of the WAP adverts in Play, we look forward to seeing
the results of multi-media, cross-channel adverts. We hope to have this
opportunity with Play Mobile and its active and dynamic customer base."
    Public Relations Officer of Play, Marcin Gruszka said: "Mobixell's
solution enables us to measure and monitor our WAP inventory online and to
see the impact of the campaign and compare it to alternative marketing
approaches. This activity allows us to see huge potential for mobile
advertising and new revenue streams, starting with WAP."
