O2 More now has two million opted-in mobile customers

O2 Media - the mobile advertising part of O2 - says its O2 More ‘personalised media service’ now has two million customers. It launched less than 1½ years ago in late 2009.

The O2 More service combines O2’s own customer data with additional information provided by participating consumers. As a result, O2 More can offer personalised and even location-based advertising campaigns to its partners. Over 1000 brands have signed up to O2 More since the business was launched, including Marks & Spencer, Adidas, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Ocado, House of Fraser, French Connection, The Economist, Kit Kat, Guinness and Honda.

Shaun Gregory, Managing Director of O2 Media, said “O2 More was created to give our customers what they really want. Breaking through two million customers shows that we’re delivering on that promise. What’s more, we’re delivering new highly-targeted, relevant and effective forms of communication for brands. Mobile messaging is the only way that brands can open up a unique one-to-one dialogue with customers and create real engagement. O2 More is all about creating an exciting customer and advertiser experience, backed up by one of the UK’s most respected brands.”

Our surveys reveal a preference for Android and right-handed phone usage

Mark Bridge writes:

Santa's bringing tablets this Christmas

Mark Bridge writes:

Santa’s bringing tablets this Christmas – and I’m not talking about the plink-plink-fizz of Alka Seltzer. These are tablet computers… and they’re going to be everywhere.

It all started with the Apple iPad; a device so widely anticipated, the TV advertisements didn’t even need to say what it did.

When it comes to mobile phone numbers, is the USA living in the past… or showing us the future?

Mark Bridge writes:

Last week the Wall Street Journal published a feature that explained how techies in New York wanted the city’s 212 area code as part of their mobile phone numbers. This may seem strange from a UK perspective until you realise that American mobile phone numbers don’t have dedicated mobile ‘dialling codes’. Instead, they’re all prefixed with a local area code and cost the same to call as those landline numbers they mimic.
