• Syndicate Thumbplay’s content catalogue to as many relevant web and WAP sites as possible to grow search rankings, traffic and subscribers through automated, self-service implementations
• Provide partners the most integrated and flexible “ingredients,” to create competitive barriers and partner reliance on Thumbplay as an exclusive or primary provider of mobile content
Customer Acquisition – Best of Breed
