Sponsor The Fonecast at the GSMA Mobile World Congress

Mobile World Congress is the mobile industry event of the year. It takes place in Barcelona from 14th February this year – and The Fonecast will be heading there to listen to the keynote speeches, attend the briefings and interview many of the visitors.

Last year we caught up with dozens of people… and we're going back again for all four days this year.

TheFonecast.com will have a full week of coverage from Barcelona in February, with podcasts every day and news updates on our website.

We'll be attracting listeners from all areas of the mobile industry – and that offers a unique opportunity if you'd like to put your company's name in front of all our listeners and readers.

To talk about sponsoring our podcasts or online advertising, just give Iain Graham a ring on 07831 595555. We have a standard package that covers audio advertising and online advertisements, although we’ll happily discuss a tailor-made deal.

And if you're going to the GSMA Mobile World Congress and would like to have a chat with us when we're out there, simply click to send us an email.
