Diffusion Mobile launches with dedicated mobile specialist team and Juniper Research as first client
London, 9 July 2009 – Diffusion today launches Diffusion Mobile, a specialist consultancy which, for the first time, will focus on providing integrated communications campaigns built around media relations, social media and search to companies operating in the mobile industry. The consultancy will target rapidly growing and broadly consumer orientated segments of mobile telecoms including; content and applications, mobile advertising and consumer hardware.
Diffusion Mobile has been selected by Juniper Research, a leading telecoms analyst firm specialising in the mobile and wireless sector, to support the release of key reports launched by the organisation across the coming year. Diffusion Mobile will run an integrated digital campaign to raise awareness of the firm and its market reports, positioning its analysts as industry thought leaders.
Diffusion Mobile has begun building a dedicated team of mobile industry PR specialists, with senior consultant David Ross-Tomlin, formerly of Nelson Bostock, recruited to build the Diffusion Mobile team and service offering. Ross-Tomlin’s experience includes leading campaigns for brands such as BlackBerry, Ericsson and HTC. He will report directly to Diffusion’s managing director, Daljit Bhurji.
Diffusion has identified mobile as a hot spot for growth in the technology sector over the next five years, with revenues from mobile applications alone set to reach $25bn by 2014.*
Daljit Bhurji, managing director of Diffusion commented, “Competition and innovation in the mobile sector is becoming increasingly intense, and creative PR is essential to secure the mindshare of consumers, mobile industry partners and the investor community. Diffusion Mobile will demonstrate the growing importance of digital as part of a wider communications strategy, providing our clients strategic advice on the new rules of communication in plain English.”
Reflecting Diffusion PR’s focus on accountability and measurement, Diffusion Mobile will also operate on a payment by results basis, with clear deliverables and clients only paying for results actually achieved. Diffusion Mobile will initially be headquartered at Diffusion’s offices in central London.
