Pitch launches unique mobile marketing initiative
Free content available to consumers in exchange for opt-in advertising
Mobile content provider Pitch has announced the beta launch of the UK's first free mobile content service, specifically designed to provide a unique benefit for end consumers and leading brands looking to reach a targeted demographic.
Consumers who join the Pitch service will be asked a series of profile-building questions, including age, gender, gaming and lifestyle habits and general interests, agreeing to accept up to three targeted mobile adverts per week in exchange for unlimited access to free mobile content for life.
Pitch will be providing the latest ringtones, games and graphics from leading mobile publishers, accessible via its WAP site and funded through a network of advertising partners who will be creating and deploying marketing campaigns specifically targeted towards an accepting consumer group.
David Warburton, Pitch's executive chairman, commented: "Mobile advertising is a massive channel, the potential of which has hardly been realised. Pitch is the first credible mobile advertising channel where brands can target actively opted-in and fully profiled customers across all mobile networks."
"Pitch, for the first time, removes the barriers which have prevented the growth of mobile marketing in all its forms," added Pitch CEO Lourens de Beer. "Brands are able to target campaigns at customers who have clearly agreed to receive advertising, knowing they are likely to be interested in the offer. Pitch can therefore deliver targeted, large scale campaigns with a low cost per-response and high return on marketing investment."
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in London, Pitch is the UK's first advertiser-funded mobile entertainment company, working with leading consumer brands including Tesco, MTV Europe, NewsCorp and more to deploy highly targeted direct-to-handset marketing campaigns, promotions and advertising incentives.
