Nokia Joins NeoMedia and Ferrero as Campaign Partner


MUNICH, Germany and FORT MYERS, Fla., July 13, 2006 -- 12snap AG, a NeoMedia Technologies company (OTC BB: NEOM), today announced that it is again working with Ferrero to provide the mobile marketing component for Ferrero’s multi-channel marketing strategy -- this time in its long-running German Football (Soccer) Association (DFB) Team Sticker Campaign for the Ferrero brands duplo and hanuta.  Nokia, a world leader in mobile communications, is involved as a  campaign partner in this specific marketing program. 

Collectable pictures of the national soccer team have been available through purchases of duplo and hanuta products from retail outlets since mid-April. To extend this promotion further, Munich-based 12snap, an award-winning leader in mobile marketing and entertainment applications, has developed the soccer Collector’s Album for mobile phones. 

A code on the back of the pictures found in the purchased products can be sent via SMS to order the digital Collector’s Album and additional DFB football pictures. Initially the digital Collector’s Album is installed on the mobile phone through a WAP push link (an SMS sent back to the requester’s mobile phone with a link that when clicked upon, will download the album and pictures ordered onto that particular phone). Anybody with a collection of 11 pictures in the digital Collector’s Album is eligible to receive a free version of 12snap’s “Champion Football Game” on their mobile phone, letting them play their own version of a world soccer championship.

“With this highly innovative multi-media use of the mobile medium, 12snap is again demonstrating its award-winning creativity for long standing client Ferrero,” said Martin Copus, COO of NeoMedia and head of the mobile business unit. “We appreciate greatly Ferrero’s loyalty.”

As the World Cup (the pre-eminent world-wide soccer tournament held only once every four years) was held this year in Germany, and with the German team reaching the semifinals, German fans have been caught up in all the excitement.

“German soccer fans, fuelled by this excitement in their own backyard, have been embracing Ferrero’s innovative campaign and elevated the image of the duplo and hanuta brands,” said Diana Kemper, executive client service director at 12snap Germany.

The mobile campaign runs through July 31, 2006.

Ferrero has called, for the third year in a row, on 12snap’s mobile marketing expertise to implement this on-pack campaign, after having teamed with the Munich company for successful mobile campaigns it created for duplo and hanuta.

“We are pleased that Ferrero is once again working with us to continue its multi-channel strategy by commissioning 12snap to create, develop and implement the Collector’s Album,” continued Ms. Kemper. “This Collector’s Album demonstrates the abilities of our innovative Java client technology and it shows what, creatively speaking, can be done with a mobile phone.”

Along with its efforts for Ferrero, 12snap has developed other mobile applications for the world of soccer for other major brand clients including Lufthansa.

DOTMOBI ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF TRADEMARK REGISTRATION

September 22 Deadline Provides Trademark Holders Additional Time to Organize Applications and Register Names

DUBLIN – July 10, 2006 – dotMobi, the first and only Internet address created for mobile phones, today announced it is extending the Trademark Sunrise Registration period to September 22.  Trademark Sunrise Registration provides owners of intellectual property (IP) an opportunity to register their trademarks as .mobi Top Level Domain names.

“The extension of the Trademark Registration period to September 22 is a welcomed initiative by dotMobi as it provides trademark holders with additional and much needed time to decide upon and organize their domain name applications based upon eligible trademarks,” said David Taylor, partner and head of the domain name practice at Lovells, an international law firm.

Taylor added, "Importantly, applications should be filed carefully using eligible trademarks in the name of the trademark holder to prevent potential rejection.”

The Trademark Sunrise period launched successfully on June 12 with hundreds of global brands – from American Express to Ziff Davis Publishing – registering .mobi domains.  Trademark owners and brand managers around the world requested additional time, given summer holidays and third-quarter budget planning. 

For Trademark Sunrise Registration, a qualified trademark owner is anyone who holds a trademark or service mark applied for prior to July 11, 2005 and granted before the date of the domain name application.

Among those registered to date, the highest number of trademark .mobi domain names are in the entertainment and media outlets, with fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) and technology trademark holders following.  In late 2006 and early 2007, mobile Internet users will see the benefits when content and services have been developed across the board.

“We're excited to see leading companies like BMW go live with bmw.mobi and neckermann.de go live with neckermann.mobi in the last two weeks,” said Neil Edwards, CEO of dotMobi.  “We are extending the Trademark Sunrise period so that all brand owners around the world will have the entire summer to make their brand go mobile with .mobi domains.”

The general public will be able to register their .mobi domain names starting September 26, 2006.

The list of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) accredited registrars for dotMobi domain names can be found at: http://pc.mtlddotMobi/switched/findaregistrar.html.

dotMobi Backed by Industry
Backed by many of the world's leading mobile operators, handset manufacturers and software developers, dotMobi (the informal name of mTLD Top Level Domain, Ltd.) was designated as the official worldwide registry for the dotMobi domain by ICANN in July 2005.

dotMobi is working closely with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), registrars, copyright bodies and site owners to ensure that trademarks are properly protected during the sunrise period.

For more information on dotMobi domains and registration information, visit http://mtld.mobi. Visit the dotMobi blog at http://blog.mobi.

About dotMobi
dotMobi (the informal name of mTLD Top Level Domain, Ltd.), a joint venture company based in Dublin, Ireland with offices in Washington, DC, is leading the development of Internet usage from mobile phones by switching on the dotMobi domain name. Unique among domain name providers, dotMobi ensures that services and sites developed around dotMobi are optimized for use by mobile devices. On-the-go consumers can have confidence that the Internet site or service will work from their mobile device when using the dotMobi address.

dotMobi is backed by leading mobile operators, network and device manufacturers, and Internet content providers, including Ericsson, GSM Association, Hutchison 3, Microsoft, Nokia, Orascom Telecom, Samsung Electronics, Syniverse, T-Mobile, Telefonica Moviles, TIM and Vodafone. dotMobi is also a sponsor of W3C's Mobile Web Initiative.

VIBES MEDIA’S Mobile CAMPAIGNS Generate 100 MILLION MESSAGEs, Prove U.S. consumers are willing to embrace direct brand interaction

Mobile campaigns establish industry landmark for consumer interaction:  43 percent of messages originated by consumers themselves

CHICAGO, July 10, 2006 — Nearly half of the first 100 million text and picture messages processed by Vibes Media — a leading provider of interactive text message and mobile content marketing programs — were originated by consumers themselves, the company announced today. The numbers, based on the milestone 100 million messages achieved over more than 7,000 Vibes Media mobile campaigns, creates a new benchmark for measuring marketing effectiveness and direct brand-to-consumer interaction.

Vibes, which was founded in 1998, processed its 100 millionth message in June of this year. Vibes’ programs have drawn more than 10 million participants, for an average of 10 messages per interaction.

“While many of our competitors build up their numbers by aggregating other mobile suppliers’ messages or sending out mobile alerts, we hit the 100 million mark by creating true, one-to-one interactive dialogue between brands and their target consumers,” said <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Alex Campbell, CEO and co-founder of Vibes Media. “The mobile device is a great way to interact with someone, but it only works if that person wants to interact. We’ve had programs generate more than 93 messages per-person and have engaged consumers for over 44 hours at a time. This is especially noteworthy today when marketers are having trouble getting consumers to pay attention to a 30-second TV spot!”

Unlike many mobile marketers, the bulk of messages generated by Vibes Media’s campaigns are initiated by the consumer. Whereas many campaigns initiate first contact, Vibes’ programs utilize an outside prompt — delivered via radio, television, outdoor, product packaging or other media — to spark consumer action. This approach, based on industry best practices, eliminates mobile spam and is more effective at eliciting consumer response. Of the 100 million messages that have passed through Vibes’ systems, more than 43 million were originated by customers themselves, demonstrating the powerful interaction Vibes’ programs generate for its clients. 

“These industry milestones demonstrate not only that mobile marketing has truly hit the main stage, but also that consumers are ready and willing to actively participate in mobile campaigns if they are executed properly using industry best practices,” said Jack Philbin, president and co-founder of Vibes Media. “Having 43 percent of 100 million messages come directly from consumers themselves is unheard of in the industry. The true one-to-one relationships our campaigns establish with consumers deliver more value than other advertising or marketing mediums available.”

Vibes Media specializes in creating and executing mobile campaigns designed to engage customers and increase revenue. Vibes works with global brands in the wireless, entertainment and consumer packaged goods industries to deliver high-impact text and premium content-based campaigns that establish ongoing interactions.

The company has already launched major mobile campaigns for CBS Radio and Emmis Communications this summer. In addition, Vibes Media played a vital role in the development of Verizon Wireless’ Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest interactive multimedia experience, developing the “Create Your Own Adventure” text-message game portion of the massive campaign. The program allows customers to create individual adventures relating to story lines from the movie. They can negotiate thousands of fun-filled pathways, interact with characters from the movie, play mini-games, fight battles and win assorted prizes ranging from Pirates wallpaper to a paid trip to a future Pirates movie premier.

About Vibes Media
Vibes Media, of Chicago, has been creating mobile marketing programs since 1998. The company has developed proprietary interactive software and promotional programs that enable marketers to communicate with, motivate and retain their customers in ways they never could before. Vibes is uniquely positioned in the industry to provide marketing and promotional programs including end-to-end services, strategy development, communications, execution and post-program ROI analysis. Vibes can offer off-the-shelf programs or work with marketers to create a custom program designed for a particular business or marketing situation. The company has launched more than 7,000 text messaging programs and generated more than 100 million messages in the United States, partnering with wireless carriers, entertainment enterprises, musical acts, sports teams and leagues, and a wide variety of consumer brands.  Please visit www.vibes.com for more information.

NeoMedia Signs PaperClick Marketing Agreement with China Company, Holds Exploratory Meetings with Asian Telecommunications Companies

FORT MYERS, Fla., and BEIJING, June 15, 2006 – NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), an innovator in market-driven technologies, said today that it has signed a marketing agreement with a China-based company to introduce and market its patented PaperClick^® (www.PaperClick.com) direct-to-Web technology there. 

Chuck Jensen, president and CEO of NeoMedia Technologies, said an agreement was signed with Beijing Sino-U.S. Jinche Yingyang Auto Technological Services Ltd. of Beijing. NeoMedia officials, including Kevin Hunter, the company’s chief scientist and co-creator of PaperClick technology, took part in exploratory meetings with leading China telecommunication companies last week, where he explained and demonstrated PaperClick technology and prototype products designed for the consumer market.

“Asia is the recognized leader in adopting the Mobile Internet as an everyday way of doing business,” said Mr. Hunter, who developed or co-developed many of NeoMedia’s 27 patents.  “Camera cell phones and PDA’s are omnipresent in China, clearly demonstrating how the country has embraced handheld-based mobile applications as part and parcel of everyday life for consumers and business alike.  Mr. Hunter noted that, according to the 2006 edition of the Netsize Guide, China leads the world in mobile subscribers – 335 million in 2005 -- with the U.S. next with 194 million.  Further, he said, the penetration rate for mobile subscribers in China for 2005 was only 26% as compared with 65% in the U.S.

NeoMedia’s PaperClick technology provides the means for consumer-oriented companies and enterprise organizations to link their products and services directly to specific relevant Web pages on the Mobile Internet, to be available anytime and anywhere. Users of PaperClick-enabled camera cell phones or PDA’s, such as Smartphone™ or Palm^®, can click on barcodes with their handset’s camera, or enter a brand name, keyword or UPC digits in the Go-Window™ text bar to access multimedia information, request/receive coupons, tickets, samples, advertising and more, via the Mobile Internet.

Martin Copus, NeoMedia’s COO and head of its mobile business unit, agreed that accessing the Mobile Internet with cell phones and other handheld devices “is very well developed in Asia – far more so than the rest of the world.  <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

“China has the world’s largest cell phone market, with about one-fifth of the world’s cell phones and a million new subscribers coming on every month,” he said.  “NeoMedia is very excited about entering this vast and growing market with Jinche, with whom we are now working to find other partners who will bring PaperClick and other NeoMedia Mobile products to China, helping jump-start mobile marketing in his vast and growing marketplace for cell phone use.”

Mr. Jensen said Beijing Sino-U.S. Jinche will also help bring PaperClick to China’s special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, together with Taiwan (R.O.C.).

Mobilitec Unveils International Research Project To Understand How Teens Use Mobile Content

First Results Show Teens Around the World Want Service Providers to Market to Them

SAN MATEO, CA – June 26, 2006 – Mobilitec, a global provider of software that lets mobile service providers offer content to their subscribers, today unveiled its new global research project – The Lab at Mobilitec – and findings from the first assignment. The Lab consists of a group of 11 teens from around the world who complete a monthly task using their mobile phones. The key findings reveal the teens’ behaviors, preferences and demands regarding downloading content to their mobile phones.

Each month the participants find, access, use and pay for different types of mobile content. Mobilitec asks them to provide feedback and rate their experiences at every stage of the process. Teens represent the majority of mobile content consumers and this research provides a forum for them to voice their experiences, opinions and suggestions to the mobile industry. Mobilitec compiles and analyzes the feedback and translates the results into knowledge that can help the company deliver a competitive advantage to its customers and partners.

Margaret Norton, President and CEO of Mobilitec commented, “We were surprised to learn that the teens wanted to be marketed to as part of the mobile experience.  The Internet generation not only expects but wants to be reached with advertising and special offers that are personal and relevant to them.”

Key Findings
In their first assignment, Mobilitec asked The Lab members to use their phone to download four mobile games: two specific games (JAMDAT Bowling, PacMan or Tetris) and two games of their choice.

Internet Sets the Standard
The Lab members used the Internet as their benchmark for a good mobile experience. They expected the ease, speed, graphics, sound and marketing that they get on the Internet. They were frustrated when downloading a game took over 10 seconds or the graphics weren’t as good as a computer.

Teens Have Persistence and Patience
All the teens experienced some challenges in finding, downloading or playing games but they expected a learning curve and had the confidence to continue until they figured it out. Three teens had to call customer service to get help; two could not find the games on their phones after purchasing them, and one had to wait five days for an email response. But when it came to rating the overall experience, the average rating was 3 out of 5 or “good”.

Brands Rule
The teens were surprised that there weren’t more games that tied into the brands they recognize.  They were looking for television and movie tie-ins as well as games they had played on their computers or game consoles.  This finding suggests the importance of mobile operators visibly and aggressively marketing branded content.

Make Me Want to Buy
Growing up as the Internet generation, 100% of The Lab members expected to be marketed to on their phones, just as they are on the Internet, TV and other media. They anticipated advertising or special offers. They wanted email and SMS telling them about new games, good deals and ways to rate and share games they liked with other teens.

The Games Aren’t Half Bad…Short And Sweet
Most of The Lab members enjoyed the games they bought. And most named other games they would like to buy. They all felt the price, $2 in India to $7 in Europe and the US, was too high for length and quality of the games. Many requested more color and better graphics.

June Bower, Vice President of Marketing for Mobilitec, explained the value of the findings. “First, network operators and content providers need to ask themselves how teens decide to buy games,” said Bower. “The teen demographic is hugely brand aware. The teens are looking for brands they know from movies, TV and games they play on their PC or game console. Teens judge quality and relevance through brands. The teens didn’t know how to make a decision on what to buy when they were presented with a long list of games that were completely unfamiliar to them.”

“Delivery is also a key issue,” said Norton. “Mobile operators need to offer content that is easy to access and quick and reliable to download. That’s why we want to keep our customers at the leading edge of content development and delivery.”

About The Lab at Mobilitec
Mobilitec established The Lab in the spring of 2006 to help increase understanding about how teenagers and young adults use mobile content. The team has 11 members, ages 13-17, from around the world. They are all using their existing mobile service and phone. The team is given a monthly assignment – for example, downloading games – and then they are asked about their experience.   See monthly results, meet The Lab members and get member quotes at www.mobilitec.com/thelab.

ELLE Magazine and NeoMedia Fuse Fashion and Mobile Technology for Shoppers

Mobot Technology Turns Readers into Online Buyers

NEW YORK and FORT MYERS, Fla. – June 26, 2006 -- ELLE Magazine and Mobot, Inc., a NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OLTC BB: NEOM) company, will exclusively introduce the next generation of interaction between magazine, the mobile phone and the Internet in the October, November and December 2006 issues, making shopping “to do” lists a thing of the past.

The launch of ELLE’s Wireless Wish List will give readers the chance to create their own online shopping experience taken from products advertised within the pages of ELLE.  By selecting a desired item within any ad in ELLE, a reader simply takes a photograph of the ad or texts the brand name to EWISH and instantly receives a reply inviting them to log on to their own personal Wireless Wish List at www.elle.com/ewish.

Finally, by entering their personal mobile phone number, ELLE readers who visit the site will have access to their personal Wish List featuring all the ads they have selected. Their personal Web page will give them information on where to find the nearest retailer for the items they have selected, where they can shop online as well as inside information on sales, discounts and special events.  The Wish List program gives ELLE readers an instant way to act on style and fashion decisions using the device they carry constantly—their mobile phone.

As an added incentive in the October 2006 issue of ELLE, any reader who submits an entry in to their wish list will automatically be entered in to Wireless Wish List Sweepstake with a chance to win a $2,500 gift card to purchase any or all of their wish list items.

The partnership is a category exclusive with Mobot, the leader in mobile visual search technology, and capitalizes on the massive boom in camera phone and text technology. According to a recent Cingular research survey, more than 42% of women in the U.S. in 2006 carry camera phones—more than double the number in 2005.

Kevin Wells, vice president of Mobot said, “Through this unique partnership ELLE readers will have immediate access to detailed information on their favorite products.  A partnership between Mobot and the powerhouse ELLE brand will begin to change the way that consumers and brands use magazines, the mobile phone and the internet to purchase and market luxury goods.”

Martin Copus, head of NeoMedia Mobile and chief operating officer of its parent company, saluted ELLE for “taking the lead in using Mobot’s new visual matching technology.”   He added, “ELLE and Mobot are taking print advertising to a whole new level of measurable interactivity.”

Carol Smith, ELLE senior VP/group publisher said, “The ELLE reader doesn’t make a move without her mobile phone, and she shops the pages of the magazine on the run.  With our Wireless Wish List service, mobile technology instantly assembles her fall picks wherever she is.  When she’s ready to purchase or wants to forward her list to friends and family, the where-to-buy information is already assembled.  What could be better? When the Mobot team brought this technology to us, we realized immediately that it was the perfect fit for the tech-savvy ELLE reader, and a valuable new platform for ELLE advertisers to further connect with her. 

Smith added, “While there’s a lot that we still don’t know about integrating mobile technology with magazine brands.  I know that ELLE was meant to lead the way here in the U.S.   Our international editions have been experimenting with mobile services for some time now and I’m glad that we’re finally able to jump in here at home.”
