Smart SMS Corp. Acquires Library of Mobile Entertainment Programs
Smart SMS Corp. (OTC: SRSM)
(www.SmartSMSCorp.com) announces the acquisition of Omni Film
Distribution's library of more than one hundred subjects including feature
films, award-winning shorts, animation, documentaries, and experimental
videos.
According to Smart SMS Corp. CEO Gordon Lee, "The acquisition by Smart SMS
Corp. of Omni Film Distribution's library provides a solid foundation for
our development of mobile entertainment portal capabilities along the lines
of Amp'd Mobile and Mobizzo's business models. We're starting with
cutting-edge alternative content from some of the best indy directors,
including several film festival award-winning shorts from across the U.S.
and internationally. This strategic acquisition adds a critical content
component to our robust platforms for text and multimedia mobile services.
In the near future, Smart SMS Corp. plans to provide mobile video content
as well as premium text-message campaigns. From our extensive experience
in creating and delivering premium text-message campaigns for numerous
clients in the entertainment industry, we understand what the mobile
markets want and how to reach those markets effectively.
"The mobile entertainment industry is rapidly moving toward on-demand video
for high-speed G3 mobile devices. The mobile entertainment market is
growing exponentially, with the potential for hundreds of millions of cell
phone subscribers to be able to watch TV shows, movies, and shorts any time
they so desire. With our strategic acquisition of this film library, we're
positioning Smart SMS Corp. as a mobile video entertainment provider.
We're looking for additional acquisition opportunities, including the
development/co-development of original programming that makes full use of
premium SMS and Multimedia Services, both integrated into the content and
as a vehicle for promoting entertainment products and services."
According to Linda Matthews, principal in Omni Film Distribution, "Few
could have imagined when entertainment executives and technologists talked
about interactive TV a few years ago, that cell phones would emerge as the
most effective platforms for marketing, content selection and ordering,
payment, and delivery of pay-per-view services. We're pleased to have
implemented the sale of our library to Smart SMS Corp. because the Smart
SMS team has the vision and experience to repurpose our content and
potentially entertain millions of people throughout North America, Central
America, and South America. Smart SMS Corp.'s acquisition of our library
brings our romantic comedies, dramas, life dramas, mysteries, suspense, and
sci-fi to new audiences. The combination of viral marketing on the
Internet, and instant consumer access to mobile entertainment, allows the
most enjoyable entertainment products to rapidly build commercially
significant followings. Mobile services could mark the dawn of the golden
age of indie shorts, animation, and documentaries. Smart SMS Corp. is
uniquely positioned to capitalize on these tremendous opportunities."
