In addition to offering the full range of mobile services, the companies plan to integrate mobile deeply into the print and online editions of each magazine. Mobile links throughout each publication will give readers access to expanded editorial content, downloadables and additional advertiser information. Readers will also be able to make instant purchases of advertised goods and services via mobile.
Giles Richter, CEO of Mowave, said the company is extremely excited about the chance to bring Action Sports Media to mobile.
“It’s clear that they really know their readers, who also happen to make up a key demographic for mobile entertainment”, Mr. Richter said.
“From the outset, ASM has really understood that the opportunity on mobile lies not only in bringing traditional media to wireless screens, but also bringing mobile to traditional media and using its personal interactivity to connect users to the page,” he added.
The companies plan to launch services on operator portals across Europe and to establish multilingual destinations on the open wireless internet.
ASM Managing Director, Darryl Newton said extreme sports are about breaking boundaries and going beyond traditional constraints.
“By mobilizing our titles, we feel like we’re freeing our brands to reach our readers in completely new ways,“ Mr. Newton said.
“Our readers are trailblazers, not followers, so they are ready to embrace this new media experience, especially because it so well suits their kinetic, globetrotting lifestyle.”
“Our magazines are now published in seven languages and distributed across 74 countries, so when we started to formulate a mobile strategy we knew we needed a partner that would be able to carry a focused brand message to mobile across many different territories,” he added.
“Mowave shared our vision for creating a unified cross-media strategy with seamless integration between the magazines, the PC web and mobile.”
