The GeoMe service is built around three elements: community content; messaging; and location. These elements, combined with the added benefits of a payment-free service and a technology-agnostic platform, mean that GeoMe is creating a peer to peer community with access to relevant content. As a result, GeoMe is unleashing the full potential of location-based search and personalised advertising.
Magnus Jern, CEO at maker of GeoMe, Golden Gekko, stated: “With the launch of GeoMe, we are finally going to see location-based services pushed beyond niche applications and break into the broader consumer market. In GeoMe, we have created a geo-messaging service that is truly needs-based and entertaining, engaging consumers in a way that means that they will use it everyday. For advertisers, GeoMe is a great way to engage with customers who are open to receiving information relevant to them and their friends.”
GeoMe will deliver a number of benefits to three key parties: advertisers; mobile operators; and consumers. For advertisers, GeoMe is a highly effective vehicle for mobile marketing delivery. Via its sponsored search function, it offers a powerful combination of targeted advertisements based on user location to deliver brand messages in a non-intrusive fashion.
