Boost Communications Delivers Successful Premium SMS Promotion for Clear Channel Radio's Channel 933

Thousands Respond for Opportunity to Meet Their Favorite Artists at 'Your Show 6'

SAN DIEGO, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Boost Communications, Inc., a leading provider of interactive mobile marketing solutions for radio, entertainment, and sports announced the success of an innovative SMS promotion at the "Your Show 6" concert for Clear Channel Radio's Channel 933 on May 13 at the Coors Amphitheatre in San Diego, CA. Thousands of Channel 933 listeners and "Your Show 6" attendees took part in the promotion by sending premium text messages for the chance to meet members of Simple Plan backstage at the event.

The promotion was the first of its kind as part of a new relationship between Clear Channel Radio and mobile marketer Boost Communications, Inc. (www.boostcommunications.com)

"We are thrilled by the response to our debut of SMS-based promotions surrounding our signature event, 'Your Show 6,'" said Diana Laird, Program Director for Channel 933. "The promotion generated great participation leading up to the show and a lot of excitement at the concert itself. We look forward to using Boost Communications' technology for future events and daily promotions."

Whereas traditional radio promotions have relied on telephone responses from listeners, Boost Communications' premium SMS promotions allow radio listeners and event attendees instant participation through text messaging

-- without waiting on hold or getting shut out due to call volumes. The promotions also create new revenue for the radio station while offering low start-up and integration costs.

"We're very pleased to have delivered such a successful program for Channel 933," said Boost Communications, Inc. CEO Martin Kristiseter. "These innovative promotions are not only fun and convenient for listeners, we believe they represent an important business opportunity that will continue to increase in relevance."

The Boost mTxt cross-carrier mobile platform is the result of over five years of application development and mobile marketing experience in Scandinavia and the U.S. This stable platform features scalability up to 2,000 messages per second and the shortest set-up and implementation time for premium SMS services in the industry. The mTxt platform provides the foundation for a portfolio of innovative mobile marketing products including mVote, which enables audience participation in survey's, playlists, and contests, as well as mTalk, which enables event and radio audiences an unprecedented ability to interact directly with hosts and celebrities.
