Hangovers all round

The Mobizines Team held a bit of a bash last night for all of our UK-based content publishers as a big thanks for their involvement in Mobizines and a big HURRAH! for their successes so far.

Thanks to all of the publishers that were there last night – not a bad turnout actually, with something like 25 of our titles present and a further 8 'soon-to-be' Mobizines titles there as well...



(We were expecting the event to take place in early February but the freak snowstorm pushed us back. As a result, it was a wee odd to be handing out our Christmas Prizes at the end of March. Not sure the winners were complaining though!)

The prizes we gave out were for those titles whose hard working independent activities generated the most user interest from October through December 2006...
Basically our way of bribing people to get promoting and it worked!

So, ladies and gentlemen...
The winner is...

– big drum roll please -

City AM
(applause)

City AM launched last October and their front page promotion and editorial promotions were a grand way of getting City AM readers educated on the City PM Mobizine.

Now for the gushy bit:

Well done to the City AM team. We salute you for your splendid Mobizine; bringing City AM stories to the square mile and the rest of the planet with your updates on the morning’s stories as well as some tasty insight into tomorrow’s news.
Plus we are loving your rather big smiles in the 'official' photo...
All three of you - Martin Muncaster and Will Atkinson of City AM, (on the left and on the right respectively) with our CEO, Scott Beaumont (in the middle).
Looking good guys!

In second place was Time Out. One of our oldest titles which continues to attract interest for their up to date content and news on what’s happening in London Town. We're guessing people need to be in the know of what’s bubbling away in fair Londinium and what better way to do it than on le mobile.

The same can be said for Holy Moly - A mighty mobile experience and our well-deserved third place. A big thank you to the man himself for coming and missing out on his own team’s booze-up, what dedication! The stuff that appears in Holy Moly is still a winner with the Mobizines reading folk and the HM name has a very strong place in many hearts, especially those that can’t get enough of munching on scandalous gossip... You knows who you are.

Oh and finally...

Thanks to all of the publishers that made such positive comments about Mobizines, the service you receive from us guys and the team here at Refresh Towers.
It is really appreciated…
In fact we positively encourage any compliments…

(flattery after all gets you very far indeed…especially in this office... isn't that right Jim? You beautiful, beautiful person you)

Ahem...
