Opportunities for media coverage and promotion at Mobile World Congress 2013

It’s heading towards that special time of the year when people prepare for a frantic few days of excitement, they get ready to exchange cards and they hope to glimpse a brand new star. Yes, Christmas is over and everyone’s thinking about Mobile World Congress.

Once again, The Fonecast will be covering all the big news and the innovation from MWC in February. We’ll be doing as much recording and reporting as we possibly can, starting with Sunday night’s pre-show product launches.

We’ll then be editing our interviews and turning them into a series of podcasts that explore the major themes affecting the mobile industry in 2013.

This year we’re offering a new way to get companies and brands in front of the people that matter by providing the proven power of radio without the cost.

Sponsor one of our feature-length programmes (or suggest your own specialist subject) and your business will be named several times during that podcast. Each broadcast will include conversations with a handful of key players from a particular industry segment. If you don’t want to participate as an interviewee, we can incorporate a radio-style advertisement instead.

And, of course, audio sponsorship doesn’t just disappear when the show is over. In contrast to a conventional ad, it’ll remain as part of each sponsored podcast.

Alternatively, if you’d prefer to advertise during the event, we can put banner ads on our site at TheFonecast.com during Mobile World Congress and will credit you as sponsor for our product-focussed MWC podcast that week. The podcast will include either a radio-style commercial or a short discussion about your company.

Unlike video, our audio podcasts are very affordable… and there’s no need for the CEO to iron their shirt, either!

It’s an excellent opportunity for smaller brands to guarantee they’ll be associated with the buzz at Mobile World Congress - and for bigger brands to target professionals within the mobile industry.

To learn more, please send an email to info@thefonecast.com or contact one of the team directly.

Let the tills ring out...

Mark Bridge writes:

We’re moving into that time of year where product announcements are replaced by promotional campaigns and sales figures. Apple revealed it had sold three million assorted iPad tablets in just three days, while Samsung said its Galaxy SIII smartphone had sold more than 30 million units since its launch in May.

Expecting the expected

Mark Bridge writes:

Last week I referred to the previous week as having been ‘big news but no big surprises’ - and in many ways the past seven days have seen much of the same.

New 'Shatoetry' app lets users send messages in William Shatner's voice

Mark Bridge writes:

Look, I’m a fan of William Shatner. I enjoyed his autobiography on oh-so-many levels. And now the man known to many as Captain Kirk or T J Hooker has launched an iPhone app. It’s one of the few occasions I wish I had an iPhone.

Big news but no big surprises

Mark Bridge writes:

In many ways it’s been a week of big news without big surprises. Apple announced the much-rumoured iPad mini, which is just like an iPad but smaller. It also introduced a fourth-generation update to its larger iPad, promising more speed and more 4G connectivity.
