ILOOP MOBILE SELECTED NAMED AS ONE OF TOP 100 COMPANIES.

Telephone IP News • March 1, 2007 •

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 AlwaysOn Web site at http://www.alwayson.goingon.com.
