YooMedia plc ('YooMedia' or the 'Group')
Agreement with Inferno
YooMedia, the AIM-traded interactive media and games group, has signed an
agreement with their strategic partnership agency Inferno to provide all the
digital elements for their client Anheuser-Busch's UK 2006 FIFA World Cup(TM)
on-pack promotion.
The technology provided by YooMedia Enhanced Solutions ('YES') focuses on
incorporating interactive mobile solutions such as SMS, MMS, JAVA and WAP within
the overall promotional mechanic. The agreement is a result of a development
drive within YES, which has recently also signed deals with leading blue chip
companies including Nestle, Boots and Visa.
YooMedia Group Managing Director Neil MacDonald said: 'This activity has come
through our strategic partnership with creative agency Inferno. It raises our
profile and demonstrates a strong vote of confidence in YooMedia's technology
and its innovative team.
'Mobile techniques are becoming increasingly central to marketing programmes
across a broad spectrum of companies. As a leader in this field we are ideally
placed to take advantage of this growth, combining interactive television and
mobile and web content solutions in order to facilitate cost-effective
responsive marketing campaigns.'
