Mogreet Selected as an AlwaysOn Global 250 Winner for Second Consecutive Year

Mogreet, the leader in mobile multimedia messaging for the delivery of high-quality video to mobile phones, today announced that it was chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the AlwaysOn Global 250 winners for the second year in a row. Mogreet was selected for the award based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

The AlwaysOn Global 250 winners were selected from among thousands of domestic and international technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2012 list.

“This year’s AlwaysOn Global 250 companies have been shaken up by the recent surge in on-demand and mobile innovation. This year’s crop of robust, innovative applications has launched a complex world of interconnected, sophisticated data being used by a voracious consumer and business user base. Coupled with a massive smartphone and tablet adoption, the opportunities for this year’s winners are unlimited,” says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “The 2012 AO Global 250 winners are driving the technology market into new, uncharted territory, representing the highest-growth opportunities we’ve seen in the private company marketplace in the history of the Global Silicon Valley.”

Mogreet's MMS technology empowers companies to dramatically enhance their mobile brand marketing. Mogreet's open API-driven SMS/MMS messaging platform enables the delivery of video, pictures, audio and text messages to more than 290 million mobile subscribers in the United States and more than 2 billion consumers globally across more than 175 countries.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by AlwaysOn as a Global 250 company for the second year in a row and to be counted among some of the best mobile brands in the world,” said James Citron, CEO and co-founder of Mogreet. “This recognition validates the hard work of our extremely dedicated team. As we continue to lead the mobile marketing industry, we are excited by the growth we are experiencing, which is driven by our dedication to continued innovation. The mobile industry is just beginning to explode, and we look forward to helping businesses join in the mobile revolution.”
