Heading for its 17th year the Mobile News Awards continues to acknowledge the best products, innovations, services and companies in the UK mobile communications industry.

As in previous years, a heavyweight judging panel of independent mobile comms industry experts will evaluate your organisation¹s entry and decide the results. But to collect the industry¹s most coveted accolade in front of the industry¹s top players you MUST be in to win. Remember, even if you don¹t win a Mobile News Award there is always the possibility of winning a Commended Certificate. These will also be included in the presentation ceremony and reported in the Book of the Night and in Mobile News.  You will also be presented with a framed Certificate thus giving you a great chance to add a powerful punch to your 2010 marketing, advertising and PR activities.

Since 1995 the Mobile News Awards has been the UK mobile channel’s biggest, most prestigious, and enjoyable awards evening. Every year has been a sell-out attracting up to a 1,000 guests to its black-tie gala dinner at the London Hilton on Park Lane.

The event offers your organisation an unequalled opportunity to imprint its brand and corporate power on the entire senior level of UK channel management gathered in one location – manufacturers, distributors, dealers, network operators, retailers.

Sponsorship of the Mobile News Awards broadens your competitive edge by bolstering your company’s image, prestige and credibility and linking it with an event that your target market finds attractive and enjoyable.

By associating your company and logo with the Mobile News Awards you will be differentiating your company from competitors. You will also be leveraging a great chance to develop closer and better relationships with existing and potential customers. When sponsorships are strategic and well-conceived, they can boost both short-term and long-term sales.

If your organisation is established, a Mobile News Awards sponsorship will maintain your leadership in the industry. Newer companies will find raising their profile at the Mobile News Awards will establish credibility and help in the hunt for new business partners and reinforce brand awareness.

As a Mobile News Awards sponsor your organisation will receive prominent recognition for its support of the event. This acknowledgement of sponsors’ leadership role will be remembered by guests at the Mobile News Awards long after the event is over.
