Metatron Partner i-Mobilize Announces Agreement With Mobile Application Developer, MEF Solutions Inc
San Diego, CA - Metatron Inc. today announced that its partner company, i-Mobilize Inc., has entered into a development and marketing agreement with web and mobile application developer, MEF Solutions Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will partner with MEF Solutions by creating original content applications for the iPhone and marketing the products via social networks, direct response campaigns and search engines. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The companies have already created their first co-developed application for the iTunes store. The "Wantback" application has consistently been in the top fifty most downloaded apps in the popular Social Networking category on the iPhone store. Since its launch, "Wantback" has been downloaded thousands of times and will soon be updated with targeted mobile advertising for additional revenue.
The companies together have over one hundred iPhone apps in the pipeline to be released at a rate of about ten a week starting this fall. Their latest apps debuted in the top 10 of their respected categories and are expected to surpass the download rate of i-Mobilize's previous apps when the dedicated marketing campaign commences next month.
Launched in the spring of 2006, MEF Solutions is a privately held company based in Aliso Viejo, California that specializes in web and application development for a wide variety of markets and niches. The company is owned by Mike Sunyich who is also the consulting CTO for Metatron. MEF properties include MobilizeMySite.com, ClientBid.com, LoanSalvation.com and the popular "Perfect Profile" dating iPhone application.
Joe Riehl, CEO of Metatron, stated, "We are very excited to co-develop with MEF and capitalize on the exploding mobile advertising market. Mobile advertising has certainly gone mainstream and the implications we have seen are staggering. According to Barron's, there will be over 80 million iPhones sold by 2012 and there have been 1.5 billion iPhone app downloads. The latest statistics from Interpublic show U.S. advertisers will spend $229 million on mobile advertising this year up 26% from 2008. Metatron and its partner companies are on the cutting edge of this advertising revolution, which last year saw a 500% annual ad impression growth rate according to AdMob."
