The market for the products and services offered by MOBICOM Korea continues to be positive and despite talk of a slowdown in consumer spending, the mobile phone sector remains buoyant."
Brand owners worldwide are continually increasing their spend on mobile marketing and eMarketer forecasts that US Mobile Advertising spending will grow from $878 million in 2007 to $6,2 billion in 2012. Mobile Media Advertising Spending in Korea is going to grow from $180 million in 2008, to over $700 million in 2012, according to eMarketer. MOBICOM Korea generates revenue through consulting services as well as from executing mobile marketing campaigns on behalf of its clients. The market for innovative mobile phone applications in Korea is highly sophisticated with 3G and 4G services being offered to consumers via high speed networks.
"Given the positive developments subsequent to the launch of full operations in mid February, we are now starting to look at expansion opportunities which give us backward integration in the Korean market and expansion into other Asian markets. China is obviously of particular interest to us and we are exploring the market in a measured way. Most of the services offered by MOBICOM Korea can be introduced into other markets through strategic partnerships, with minimal capital investment or financial exposure. Our products and services are well positioned in high growth markets," said Levinsohn.
