2nd Quarter Outlook
Management is energized by the increased diversification and repeatability of its latest app offerings. The company has achieved tangible success in converting mid-tier content into high quality digital media, and rapidly releasing that content to the public with an established distribution infrastructure. As a result, the company is gaining growing recognition and traction as a key player in the app space while receiving increased attention from higher tier content owners. Management intends to aggressively pursue these opportunities with the intent that they ultimately result in key agreements or collaborations to improve the growth of the company. In the second quarter of 2012, the company expects the launch of some short-term and long-term initiatives. Namely:
- Eckhart Tolle TV Subscription Mega-app.
- Movie/Video mega-app, containing hundreds of titles in one app.
- Release of popular apps for the Kindle Fire.
- Greater in-app purchasing features, more new free iAd based and subscription apps.
- Wider scope and larger profile licensing deals of top content that entertain or encourage sustainable personal growth in people’s lives.
The digital media and app revolution is in high gear and Metaron/i-mobilizeis well-positioned and well-prepared to capitalize. Stay tuned.
