Best Mobile Social Media – 3rd year running @ Meffys

Flirtomatic rewarded for its innovation, usability, interactivity and proven success

Wow – we won the Best Social Media Award at the Meffy’s (http://www.meffys.com/) last night, for the third year running.

Since picking up the award in 2009, Flirtomatic has launched its iPhone and Android applications, placed in the top 10 most visited mobile sites in the UK according to data from GSMA and comScore, revamped its website, implemented further integration with Facebook, used its members to help predict the outcome of the British General Election, sold over a million virtual gifts and done a whole lot more behind the scenes.

The Meffy judges of the Social Media Award were looking for a company that has achieved success using innovative revenue models and relevant technology to create a genuinely immersive experience on mobile. The GSMA and comScore census level stats from February, might have helped Flirtomatic’s case with the judges, as Flirtomatic placed in the top 10 most visited mobile sites in the UK (http://www.gsmworld.com/newsroom/press-releases/2010/4614.htm). The data also showed Flirtomatic had the highest user engagement by time and by pages, beating the likes of Facebook, Google and Microsoft to the top spot.

Mark Curtis, CEO of Flirtomatic commented: “To win this award for the third year in a row is an absolute honour and surprise. It’s something we never expected. We’ve got a fantastic team at Flirtomatic, who truly care about giving our users the best experience possible.”

Mark continued: “After this unexpected award win, rest assured we won’t be putting our feet up. We’re continuing our push in to new territories and aiming to bring the mobile experience of Flirtomatic to millions more people across the globe”.
