iLoop Mobile, San Jose, Calif., a mobile technology and services
company for interactive, text message-based mobile marketing and mobile
content distribution, has announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn
Media as one of the Top 100 Private Company award winners. The AO Media
100 is a power list of the top private digital media companies. iLoop
Mobile was handpicked by the AO Media editorial team based on a set of
five criteria --innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media
buzz and investor value creation.
iLoop Mobile and the AO Media 100 were honored at the AO Media
executive summit. The summit focused on the forces that are disrupting
user behavior and creating new opportunities in marketing, branding,
advertising, and public relations. The event will also showcase top
innovative private companies that are changing the way media is created,
distributed and consumed.
The AO Media 100 was selected from over 1,000 companies,
peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers and
industry analysts.
Today's mobile channel is a direct, information-relevant way
to interact with current and potential customers. However, mobile
application solutions have traditionally been incomplete or too complex
to use in the creation and implementation of powerful mobile campaigns.
iLoop Mobile allows the world's leading brands to capitalize on the
unique possibilities of mobile marketing and content distribution,
allowing them to have 1:1 interaction with consumers.
"The AO Media 100 are creating new revenue opportunities in
the more than $16.4 billion online advertising market by disrupting
traditional media and advertising models," said Tony Perkins,
founder and editor in chief of AlwaysOn. "They are innovating by
applying game-changing technology to key sectors including
user-generated content, technology-enablers, mobile marketing, community
platforms, Web analytics, and online advertising services."
"The companies selected to the AlwaysOn Media 100 list are
innovating the marketing, branding, advertising, and public relations
industries," said Steve Koskie, CEO of iLoop Mobile.
"SMS-based mobile marketing and content distribution is spurring a
global, mobile communications revolution and iLoop Mobile's
addition to the AlwaysOn Media list further validates our leadership in
the space."
A full list of all the AO Media 100 companies can be found on the
