And the Mobile Content Winners are…

Flycell announces top mobile content for 2009

Flycell

Flycell, Inc. (www.Flycell.com), the popular mobile and online media and entertainment company, announced today the top mobile content for 2009 based on actual consumption by millions of people who subscribe to the Flycell service around the globe. People come to Flycell to download ringtones, mobile games, wallpapers, animations and themes to personalize their mobile phones and make them unique reflections of their individuality and lifestyle.

Even though the faltering economy impacted other areas of consumer electronics and digital media, Flycell reported 2009 as its best year ever, with more people using the Flycell service for downloading mobile content than ever before.

TOP MOBILE PHONE:

Handset manufacturers and mobile operators may be interested to know which devices were the most popular ones used by Flycell subscribers. Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Kyocera each had one handset apiece in a top ten list dominated by Samsung and LG. Which handset was the most popular? The envelope please?

The handset most used by Flycell subscribers in 2009 was the touch screen LG Vu (also referred to as CU920 and CU915).

TOP MOBILE GAME:

Mobile games have become one of the most popular ways to engage the brain when a person would otherwise be bored, such as waiting for a bus, riding the subway or shopping with a girlfriend. Games based on television game shows were popular this year, with “Wheel of Fortune Deluxe” and “Jeopardy Deluxe” both landing in the top five. Which mobile game takes the top prize? The envelope please?

The game most downloaded by Flycell subscribers in 2009 was the action packed arcade game “Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2.”

TOP WALLPAPER:

Because wallpapers decorate the backgrounds of mobile phone menus and idle screens, they are the most seen images people have on their phones. The wallpaper category 2009 was the year for Bling, Butterflies, Babies, and Barack Obama. A wallpaper featured earlier in the year entitled “Obama is My Homeboy” rounded out the top five, along with the images “Blue Neon Butterfly,” “Neon Butterfly Heart” and “Baby Girl.” But what did Flycell subscribers use most to dress up their phones? The envelope please?

In a sign of things that hopefully will come as the economy improves, the flashy money and dollar sign image “$ BLING $” was the most downloaded wallpaper in 2009.

TOP RINGTONE:

Ringtones are snippets of songs that people can assign to individual contacts in an address book. When people hear a favorite artist singing a chorus to a song they love they think, “This is a call I want to take!” Do people’s tastes in ringtones match their music tastes? The Billboard Hot Digital Songs of 2009 chart, a list of the top-downloaded songs across all genres ranked by sales data as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan, is topped by the Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow,” followed by hits from Lady Gaga, Flo Rida, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and other artists with ringtones at Flycell.com.

Though “Boom Boom Pow” made it to the top five in Flycell’s most downloaded ringtones of 2009, the song trailed “Kiss Me Thru the Phone” by Soulja Boy Tell’em, “I Love College” by Asher Roth and “Birthday Sex” by Jeremih. What ringtone was number one? The envelope please?

The ringtone most downloaded by Flycell subscribers in 2009 was from the song “Best I Ever Had” by the artist Drake.

TOP ARTISTS:

Flycell saw many artists skyrocket to the top of download lists in each genre and become some of 2009’s megastars. Eminem, Drake, Lil’ Wayne and Black Eyed Peas were all major players in the rap/hip-hop world this year. R&B artists like Jeremih, Ne-Yo, Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole and Jay Sean were all in regular rotation on the top ringtone lists throughout the year as well.

Rock legends Bon Jovi had competition from newer artists like Hinder, 3 Doors Down, Saving Abel and The All-American Rejects. Country legend George Strait also had some stiff competition from Toby Keith, Sugarland and the freshest face in country, Taylor Swift.

The pop category saw the fiercest competition of all, with undoubtedly one of the best female pop singers of all time, Mariah Carey, joined by new stars, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry as the top five pop artists stealing the hearts of Flycell subscribers. Who made it to the top? The envelope please?

The top ringtone artists in 2009 were (by genre):

  • Rap/Hip-Hop: Lil Wayne
  • Rock: Saving Abel
  • Pop: Mariah Carey
  • R&B: Keri Hilson
  • Country & Folk: Taylor Swift
  • Latin: Don Omar

The full lists of 2009 winners in each of the following categories can be found on the Flycell Blog:

Flycell CEO Named Most Visionary Consumer Services Executive in 2009 Mobile Star Awards™

Alberto Montesi wins award for leadership and financial success as Flycell wins Best Consumer Entertainment Service

Flycell

MobileVillage announced today the winners of its 8th annual Mobile Star Awards, awarding Flycell, Inc. CEO Alberto Montesi top honors with the SUPERSTAR award in the Visionary: Consumer Software and Services category. The mobile and online media and entertainment destination also received the top honor by being named SUPERSTAR in the Consumer App: Entertainment or Media Services category, paying tribute to the exceptional year Flycell’s service enjoyed in 2009 under Montesi’s leadership.

Mobile Star Award WinnerThe Mobile Star Awards recognize the top mobile products, success stories and visionaries as chosen by thousands of readers of technology news portal MobileVillage’s Go Mobile™ newsletter. The SUPERSTAR award is the highest honor given to Mobile Star Award winners.

The Mobile Star Visionary award is the latest achievement for Montesi, who earned a place on the Silicon Alley 100 list, was recently a finalist for Executive of the Year in the 2009 International Business Awards℠, and was honored as one of Mobile Entertainment’s Top 50 Executives the past two years running.

“These awards and Flycell’s overall success in 2009 have all been a truly impressive team effort with every member of our company contributing,” said Montesi. “I personally would like to thank Flycell employees for their contributions to our exceptional growth, both here in the US as well as internationally, at a time when many of our competitors are buckling under the pressure of the failing global economy.”

Montesi was specifically recognized for his leadership and vision, guiding Flycell through four years of uninterrupted growth, including impressive double digit growth in each quarter of 2009, despite the poor economy. He attributes his company’s success to its ability to stay ahead of industry trends, make wise customer acquisition choices, and create and deliver the mobile and digital entertainment customers are demanding in an easy to use and efficient way.

Flycell‘s 2009 earnings are running more than 80 percent over the company’s earnings in 2008. Last year the company took in $75 million. For the first three quarters of 2009 the company has already eclipsed $100 million.

“Montesi’s success in staying one step ahead of mobile and digital entertainment trends, with a service consumers are willing to pay for, is a perfect example of the kind of visionary the Mobile Star Awards seek to honor,” said Gary Thayer, editor of MobileVillage. “We applaud Mr. Montesi and Flycell for being selected by their industry peers for these two awards and look forward to seeing what Flycell will bring to consumers in 2010.”

Flycell Reports Best Quarter in Company History

Q2 2009 numbers mean another earnings milestone for the five year old digital entertainment leader

Flycell

Flycell, Inc., a leading mobile and online entertainment content company, today announced quarterly financial results citing Q2 2009 as the most successful quarter in the company’s five year history. Despite the economic downturn, Flycell again reported double-digit growth, including growth in each of its existing countries of operation. Revenue for the first half of 2009 is almost equal to the results for all of 2008, the most successful full year Flycell has had to date.

Flycell’s parent company Acotel Group (MIL: ACO) reported Flycell took in just over $37 million in revenue in Q2 2009 as compared to $19 million earned in Q2 2008. Last quarter Flycell reported $23 million in revenue giving the company H1 2009 revenue of $60.5 million. Acotel reported Flycell earned $75 million in 2008. With revenues for the first six months of 2009 already above 80 percent of the annual total for 2008, Flycell continues to be a growing and profitable enterprise.


  Q1 Q2 H1 Fiscal Year
2009 Flycell Revenue ($Millions) $23 $37 $60 $60 YTD*
2008 Flycell Revenue ($Millions) $14 $19 $33 $75
Percentage increase 2009 over 2008 64% 95% 83%  

* Represents financial data from January 1 to June 30, 2009, the first six months of the fiscal year


Despite an ailing global economy, Flycell continues to buck the downward financial trend with 60 percent growth from Q1 to Q2 2009; Q2 2009 represents a dramatic 95 percent increase over Q2 2008, proving the mobile entertainment industry is a hot sector.

“We couldn’t be happier with our Q2 results, especially given the tough economic climate,” said Alberto Montesi, CEO of Flycell. “This kind of growth would be impressive in any market, so given the current state of the economy, we are particularly gratified to be expanding, gaining new customers and increasing our revenue. We are seeing that the low price point of mobile content is especially attractive as more and more people are using their mobile phones as their entertainment hub and personalizing them with ringtones, games and applications.”

Ringtones continue to be the most popular mobile content beyond text messaging and email. During the last quarter Flycell expanded into other areas of mobile entertainment, including a new SMS-based low bid auction game called Bid Hunter and a text messaging based quiz game called SMS Love. Flycell plans to further expand its offerings this year as it keeps a finger on the pulse of consumer interests and industry trends.

Flycell Delivers Mobile Sports Alerts to Fans Across America

New Flycell Premium Text Service Keeps Football Buffs in the Game with Up-To-The-Minute Alerts on their Favorite NFL Teams

Flycell

Flycell, Inc., the popular mobile and online media and entertainment company, is making it easy for football fans everywhere to keep up with their favorite National Football League (NFL) teams with the introduction of Sports Alerts, a premium text alert service. Sports Alerts complements Flycell’s already diverse and growing offering of online and mobile games and quizzes, all available at Flycell.com.

With the first week of the NFL Preseason kicking off August 13, Flycell’s Sports Alerts give football fans an easy way to keep up on the scores for their favorite teams with mobile text alerts delivered right to their phones. A premium SMS alert subscription service, Sports Alerts sends any number of in-game or final score updates for a user’s selected team(s) direct to their mobile phone. Sports Alerts is just one of the many Flycell offerings that can be selected using credits from a $9.99/month Flycell ClubPack subscription. Did the 49ers crush the Raiders in the Battle of the Bay? Did “da Bears” defeat the Giants? Find out with Sports Alerts from Flycell.com.

“Sports Alerts is a quick and fun way to get the latest information on your favorite teams even if you can’t be there in person,” says Lindsey Weinger, VP Web Experience at Flycell. “Fans get their selected team’s final scores delivered in real-time, right to their mobile phone. And with the option for in-game score alerts, fans can always be in the know on any scoring action, as soon as it happens.”

In addition to keeping up on the latest NFL scores, Flycell’s Sports Alerts allows fans to track and receive mobile text alerts for many other professional and college sports teams, including: Major League Baseball (MLB), Major League Soccer (MLS), the National Hockey League (NHL), the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Football and Basketball.
