Incite Signs further mobile media agreements with Leeds United and West Ham
United
Mobile media specialist, Incite Holdings Plc, has today announced that it has
made agreements with Premiership football club Leeds United and First Division
West Ham to provide exclusive information and services to the fans of each Club.
Incite, which listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock
Exchange, on 12 September 2003, will offer never-before available services to
fans of these clubs direct to their mobile phones using image, text, voice and
later on video and interactive services moving way beyond the current services
typically offered to date.
Incite recently launched its services with premiership football club Tottenham
Hotspur and have enjoyed a tremendous reception with over 7,500
pre-registrations in a matter of weeks for the #7.50 per month package. The
Group has developed a number of high-profile partnerships including Orange and
BskyB. Orange is providing Incite with the necessary telecommunications
infrastructure and use of their powerful Orange brand. Incite and BSkyB have
worked together to extend unique content management systems capability into the
mobile channel.
Simon Hellier, Managing Director, commented,
"I am extremely pleased to extend (((on!))) football services to include Leeds
United and West Ham. In common with Spurs, both clubs have outstanding
supporters and Incite intends to deliver genuine value to subscribers by
providing them with their own services that each club community demands - as it
happens.
Supporters deserve to be part of the club in hearing the latest news first. The
team sheet, comments direct from the dressing room at half time and the
manager's thoughts in those 10 minutes before the big game. With leeds(((on!)))
and hammers(((on!))) we can deliver this and so much more."
These additional announcements in football continue the development of (((on!)))
which is creating a new niche market in mobile services.
