Next-Generation Mobile Entertainment Device Maker Inks Agreement with Leading Interactive Entertainment PR Agency to Handle Gizmondo
San Francisco, CA - February 22, 2005 - Gizmondo Europe Ltd., a subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida based Tiger Telematics Inc. (other OTC: TGTL), today announced they have signed Kohnke Communications as their agency of record to manage all public relations efforts in North America for their highly-anticipated handheld multi-entertainment device, Gizmondo.
"Kohnke Communications has a great reputation within the interactive entertainment industry, which is essential to compliment our global communications structure and launch strategies" said Carl Freer, Managing Director of Gizmondo Europe Ltd. "The Gizmondo will certainly attract interest from traditionally non-gaming media, because of the GPS, messaging, email, music and movie functionality, and Kohnke's broad-spectrum experience matches that criteria perfectly."
"Gizmondo has the opportunity to add a new dimension to gaming that we have never seen before with its global positioning system," said Erica Kohnke Kain, President and Founder of Kohnke Communications. "Gizmondo Europe shares our same passion for gaming and commitment to quality and innovation, and we look forward to a very successful collaboration."
