<p><a title="London" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London" target="_blank">London</a>/<a title="Hagen" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen" target="_blank">Hagen</a>, 22 May, 2007 – <a title="AdMob" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">AdMob</a>, the world’s largest mobile advertising network and <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de/" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>, the company behind the world’s largest mobile community, <a title="peperonity.com" href="http://peperonity.com/" target="_blank">peperonity.com</a>, have signed an exclusive deal that will see <a title="AdMob" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">AdMob</a>’s ads displayed on more than 200 million pages per month across the globe. <a title="AdMob" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">AdMob</a> has been working with <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de/" target="_blank">Peperoni</a> since mid-2006 and has been their principle advertising partner ever since. However, the new deal signals the end of <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de/" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>’s advertising test phase and confirms their future strategy.   <br />
  <br />
<span id="more-2569"></span>&#8220;We’re delighted to announce our ongoing partnership with <a title="AdMob" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">AdMob</a>,&#8221; said <a title="Marcus Ladwig" href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus Ladwig</strong></a>, Founder and COO of <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de/" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>. &#8220;We’ve experimented with the mobile advertising solutions of eight companies operating in this area and I’m confident that we’ve chosen the best partner in terms of performance and long term revenue for <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de/" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p><img title="More..." src="http://kuszpa.wordpress.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" />The deal means <a title="AdMob" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">AdMob</a>’s advertisers, including <a title="Coca-Cola" href="http://www.coca-cola.com/" target="_blank">Coca-Cola</a>, <a title="Adidas" href="http://www.adidas.com/" target="_blank">Adidas</a>, Teletext and <a title="lge.com" href="http://www.lge.com/" target="_blank">LG</a> will enjoy guaranteed and exclusive access to the <a title="peperonity.com" href="http://peperonity.com/" target="_blank">peperonity.com</a> network. <a title="peperonity.com" href="http://peperonity.com/" target="_blank">peperonity.com</a> is used by 10 million unique visitors per month and enables mobile users with no programming knowledge to design their own mobile page layout, run blogs and chat with other members within the community.  It will soon enhance its service with support for ‘buddy lists’ and full video streaming.</p>
<p><a title="Russell Buckley" href="http://www.mobhappy.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Russell Buckley</strong></a>, European Managing Director, <a title="AdMob" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">AdMob</a>, said: &#8220;<a title="AdMob" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">AdMob</a> is already the largest mobile advertising network in the world, serving more than one billion ads every quarter. We’re really pleased with this partnership as it brings our advertisers exclusive access to one of the largest mobile communities around.&#8221;</p>
<p><a title="AdMob" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">AdMob</a>’s network now consists of more than 1,700 publishers of mobile web sites running <a title="AdMob" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">AdMob</a> advertising campaigns on a revenue share basis. Becoming a publisher is a quick and easy process involving cutting and pasting automatically generated code available at <a title="admob.com" href="http://www.admob.com/" target="_blank">http://www.admob.com/</a> into web site templates.</p>
<p><strong>About Peperoni<br />

<p><strong>Source:</strong> Richard Maven: <a href="http://www.e-consultancy.com/news-blog/362946/q-a-admob-s-russell-buckley-on-mobile-advertising.html" target="_blank">Q&amp;A &#8211; AdMob&#8217;s Russell Buckley on mobile advertising</a>, <a href="http://www.e-consultancy.com" target="_blank">e-consultancy.com</a>, 03.04.2007</p>
<p>Today Thomas found a interesting interview of Richard Maven with <a title="Russell" href="http://www.mobhappy.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Russell Buckley</strong></a> on <a href="http://www.e-consultancy.com" target="_blank">e-consultancy.com</a>. <a title="Russell" href="http://www.mobhappy.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Russell</strong></a> also told a little bite about <a title="peperonity.com" href="http://www.peperonity.com" target="_blank">peperonity.com</a>: </p>
<p>[...]</p>
<p><strong>Do consumers really want to see ads on their mobiles, given that they have to pay for most mobile services?</strong></p>
<p>There’s two aspects to this. Firstly, many people do find the ads useful, otherwise they wouldn’t be clicking on them. Our theory is that people are using advertising to discover new content and services they otherwise wouldn’t have found.</p>
<p><span id="more-184"></span>Secondly, most people accept advertising if the price is that they get cheaper, or free services and content in return. As an example, out of the 1.6bn ads we’ve served now, we have had only one complaint. In this case, a lady had created her own mobile home page on <a title="peperonity.com" href="http://wwww.peperonity.com" target="_blank">peperonity</a>, one of our publishing partners and wanted to know why we were running ads on &#8220;her&#8221; pages.</p>
<p>When we explained that the reason why <a title="peperonity.com" href="http://www.peperonity.com" target="_blank">peperonity</a>’s service was free was that it was funded by advertising, she actually turned out to be very supportive.</p>
<p>So while many are paying for mobile services today, most people are happy to see ads if they can get cheaper services in the future. And that’s the way the market seems to be going.</p>

<p><strong>Source:</strong> Peggy Anne Salz: <a href="http://www.mobileeurope.co.uk/magazine/features.ehtml?o=3057" target="_blank">User Generated Content &#8211; Community Drive, in: Mobile Europe, 23.03.2007</a></p>
<p>Today a interesting article from <a title="Peggy Anne Salz" href="https://www.xing.com/profile/PeggyAnne_Salz" target="_blank"><strong>Peggy Anne Salz</strong></a> with the headline &#8220;<a title="User Generated Content - Community Drive" href="http://www.mobileeurope.co.uk/magazine/features.ehtml?o=3057" target="_blank">User Generated Content &#8211; Community Drive</a>&#8221; was published and <a title="Marcus Ladwig" href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus</strong></a> was quoted:</p>
<p>&#8220;Social media companies are getting the message. <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>, Germany&#8217;s made-for-mobile answer to MySpace, counts more than 350,000 registered users and another 6 million unique visitors per month who frequent the community to check out new sites and fresh content. In fact, <a title="Marcus Ladwig" href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus Ladwig</strong></a>, COO of <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>, estimates the actual figures could be higher. This is because <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a> only requires active participants to register and allows all visitors to browse for free.</p>
<p><span id="more-1542"></span>Access to so many eyeballs has also excited content companies &#8211; who want to advertise to <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>&#8216;s tight-knit <a title="Peperonity" href="http://www.Peperonity.com" target="_blank">peperonity</a> mobile community. To date <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a> has run campaigns with several major brands, including Adidas and Disney. More recently, the company has launched a campaign with <a title="4th Screen Media" href="http://www.4th-Screen.com" target="_blank">4th Screen Media</a>, a U.K.-based mobile advertising company with &#8220;some major brands in the pipeline,&#8221; <a title="Marcus Ladwig" href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Ladwig</strong></a> says. Member survey shows users don&#8217;t mind the advertising, provided it is useful and unobtrusive. &#8220;In the right context ads even benefit the community,&#8221; Ladwig explains. The current campaign with mobile operator O2 in the U.K. – which revolves around giving away free SIM cards, is a pitch that &#8220;provides real value for users.&#8221;</p>
<p>To keep the momentum <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a> plans a slew of new functions and features. These include tools to upload mobile videoclips, moderation (to keep in touch with members and give them a feeling that &#8220;someone is looking after their home space&#8221;) and a &#8220;send-to-a-friend feature (to allow users to update friends on community happenings and even recruit new members). The company is also developing a &#8220;recommend-this-site&#8221; service that will allow users to share cool content they find on <a title="Peperonity" href="http://www.Peperonity.com" target="_blank">peperonity</a> with their friends via SMS. &#8220;<a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a> will pick up the costs of this service because we believe in the potential of this to promote viral marketing,&#8221; <a title="Marcus Ladwig" href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Ladwig</strong></a> says.</p>
<p>Monetization models at the site go in both directions. <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a> sells ads to deliver services to its members – but it also offers its members an eBay-like marketplace where they can sell their user-generated content. To this end <a title="Peperoni" href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a> has teamed up with <a title="Bango" href="http://www.bango.com" target="_blank">Bango</a>, a company that has developed a global infrastructure platform that enables content providers to market, sell and deliver their products and services directly to mobile phone users on all mobile networks. The collaboration allows members to commercialize their content, enabled by <a title="Bango" href="http://www.bango.com" target="_blank">Bango</a>&#8216;s global access and payment technology.&#8221;</p>

<p>Mobilfunkgeräte werden zu multimedialen Alleskönnern für Individual- und Massenkommunikation in allen Lebenslagen. Inzwischen liegt die Mobilfunk-Marktdurchdringung in Deutschland bei mehr als 90 Prozent. Angesichts sinkender Tarife suchen die Anbieter nach neuen Geschäftsmodellen.</p>
<p>[...]</p>
<p>&#8220;Was sich im Internet mit <a href="http://www.YouTube.com" target="_blank">YouTube</a> und <a href="http://www.MySpace.com" target="_blank">MySpace</a> schon sehr deutlich entwickelt hat, wird nun zunehmend mobil, da Handys ein ideales Medium sind, um mit anderen zu interagieren&#8221;, schildert Horsters <a href="http://www.vivai.de" target="_blank">VIVAI</a> Kollege <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/David_Fickeisen/" target="_blank"><strong>David Fickeisen</strong></a> eine aktuelle Entwicklung. Mit Hilfe der eingebauten Filmoder Videokamera können Fotos oder kleine Filmclips aufgezeichnet und später bearbeitet werden. Einige Nutzer fühlen sich als Reporter, wenn sie bestimmte Situationen fotografieren und ihre Bilder einer Zeitung per MMS übersenden oder die Fotos der letzten Party schnell per Handy auf ein Portal laden.</p>
<p><span id="more-385"></span>&#8220;Die User können sich selber darstellen, von der ganzen Welt aus, und fast jeder hat sein Handy dabei, während bei entsprechenden Internet-Plattformen immer zusätzliche Voraussetzungen gegeben sein müssen&#8221;, erläutert <strong>Maciej Kuszpa</strong>, Chief Executive Officer von <a href="http://www.Peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>, dessen Unternehmen als Anbieter für Mobile und Electronic Business agiert. Das Mobilfunkgerät, so haben Sozialwissenschaftler festgestellt, wird immer mehr zum Mittel und zur Manifestation persönlicher Netzwerke.</p>

<h2>The mobile internet: Open, inclusive and available to all</h2>
<p>Ten years ago the internet underwent a fundamental transformation from an &#8220;early adopter&#8221; technology for emailing and list sharing to become the world wide web that lies at the heart of the content industry today.</p>
<p>[...]</p>
<h2>Mobile Communities &#8211; The Long Tail of the Industry?</h2>
<p>Mobile phones are becoming used as highly effective, and highly personalised, content capture devices. Voice, still image and video capabilities are built-in to phones which have the unique advantage of providing a permanent connection to the internet. Content can be easily uploaded to a hosted site, by the users themselves. Already, hundreds of thousands of mobile internet sites have appeared, hosted on the modern, mobile equivalents of Geocities.</p>
<p><span id="more-449"></span>Typically mobile communities are built around personal interests and news that can be shared with others. Sports clubs, artist tribute sites and gaming sites are popular, along with users offering links to other content they like, or content designed for particular phones, languages and cultures.</p>
<p>Bango is providing a unique, commercial dimension to these services, so that users can attribute a commercial value to some of their content and charge small amounts for images, news and information. The first such relationship is with <a href="http://www.Peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>, who provide the Peperonity mobile service which can be found at <a href="http://www.peperonity.com" target="_blank">www.peperonity.com</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="http://www.derwesten.de/" target="_blank">Westfälische Rundschau</a>, 18.03.2005, Jens Stubbe, insert &#8216;Region + Vision&#8217;, p. 20</p>
<h2>Innovationsschmiede für mobile Welten<br />
von Thomas Bühren, Marcus Ladwig, Maciej Kuszpa und Kai Dornseiff</h2>
<p>Wie sie auf Ihren Namen gekommen sind? &#8220;Das war bei Pizza und Bier&#8221;, sagt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus Ladwig</strong></a> und grinst. &#8220;Wir haben lange überlegt und mit atemberaubenden Abkürzungen hantiert. Aber Peperoni – das passt. Das bleibt im Gedächtnis.&#8221; Mit scharfem Gemüse hat die Sache nichts zu tun. Deshalb der Zusatz. &#8220;Mobile und Internet Software&#8221;, sagt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Maciej_Kuszpa" target="_blank"><strong>Maciej Kuszpa</strong></a>, &#8220;das versteht man – auf Englisch und Deutsch.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank"><span id="more-515"></span>Peperoni</a> ist so etwas wie ein Hagener Volltreffer. Schließlich wollen die Hagener das Potenzial der <a href="http://www.fernuni-hagen.de" target="_blank">Fernuni</a> sowie des Technologie- und Gründerzentrums nutzen. Spinn-of heißt das Stichwort. Das passt vor allem auf die <a href="http://www.networkers.de" target="_blank">Networkers</a>, eine Gesellschaft für Internet-Technologie. Das Unternehmen um Gründer und Geschäftsführer <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Thomas_Kretzberg" target="_blank"><strong>Thomas Kretzberg</strong></a> hatte 1996 in einem Abstellraum der <a href="http://www.fernuni-hagen.de" target="_blank">Fernuni</a> begonnen. Heute sind bei dem deutschlandweit agierenden System-Integrator 40 Mitarbeiter beschäftigt.</p>
<p>Spinn-of, das trifft auch auf <a href="http://www.isl.de" target="_blank">ISL – Internet Sicherheitslösungen GmbH</a> zu. Die Gesellschaft machte vor allem zum Thema sicheres Surfen von sich reden.</p>
<p>Aber zurück zu <a href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a>. Das junge Unternehmen mietete Ende 2000 im Technologie- und Gründerzentrum die ersten Büroräume an. Damals waren sie zu viert, heute hat <a href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a> zwölf Mitarbeiter. Und arbeitet in Sachen mobiles Internet für Handys für die vier großen Netzbetreiber Telekom, o2, E-plus und Vodafone. Was dazwischen liegt? &#8220;Harte Arbeit, Rückschläge, kontinuierliche Akquise. Als wir gestartet sind, gab es drei Mitbewerber in Deutschland. Jetzt ist es nur noch einer&#8221;, sagt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus Ladwig</strong></a>, &#8220;Heute können wir jedes mobile Endgerät versorgen.&#8221;</p>
<p>Der Aufbruch in ein neues Zeitalter der Kommunikation: &#8220;Begonnen hat er mit Einführung des ersten WAP-fähigen Handys 2000&#8243;, sagt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Maciej_Kuszpa" target="_blank"><strong>Maciej Kuszpa</strong></a>. &#8220;Seiten für das Internet haben viele programmiert. Aber für das mobile Netz… Das gab es nicht. Es war damals unsere Überzeugung, dass die breite Masse das mobile Netz nutzt. Auch in schwierigen Zeiten haben wir an unsere Vision geglaubt.&#8221; Eine Art virtueller Baukasten, mit dem jeder Nutzer in kurzer Zeit seine eigene Handy-Homepage basteln kann. Das war eine Revolution.</p>
<p>Das Konzept ist ein Erfolg. Vergangenheit, die fortbesteht. Denn die mobile Community wächst bei 68,3 Millionen Mobiltelefonen deutschlandweit unaufhaltsam. 200 Millionen Abrufe auf Seiten betreut Peperoni pro Monat. &#8220;Preise von 19 Cent pro Minute &#8211; das ist Vergangenheit. Bei einem Anbieter kann man pauschal für 5 Euro monatlich ins Netz&#8221;, erzählt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Maciej_Kuszpa" target="_blank"><strong>Maciej Kuszpa</strong></a>, &#8220;das ist die Zukunft.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mit dem Markt wachsen die Visionen. &#8220;Aral und jetzt auch Vodafone bieten ihren Kunden einen von uns konzipierten Tankmanager fürs Handy&#8221;, erzählt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus Ladwig</strong></a>, &#8220;so eine Art Online-Fahrtenbuch. Für Aral ist das ein Marketing-Instrument. Ähnliches lässt sich für viele andere Firmen umsetzen. Zum Beispiel ein mobiler Fitness- und Gesundheitsmanager, den Krankenkassen anbieten.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lernen im mobilen Netz ist ein Projekt, an dem das Hagener Unternehmen in Kooperation mit der <a href="http://www.fernuni-hagen.de" target="_blank">FernUniversität</a> arbeitet. &#8220;Warum soll nicht jemand, der gerade eine Veranstaltung besucht hat, mit dem Handy sein Wissen vertiefen?&#8221; fragt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Maciej_Kuszpa" target="_blank"><strong>Maciej Kuszpa</strong></a>, &#8220;das könnte im Bus sein, mit einem Multiple-Choice-Test, den er im Netz findet …&#8221;</p>
<p>Mobile Fotoalben sind die Zukunft. &#8220;Fast jeder kann mit seinem Handy Bilder machen&#8221;, so <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus Ladwig</strong></a>, &#8220;wir haben eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, diese Bilder im Netz zu hinterlegen. So können Verwandte jederzeit auf das Album zugreifen.&#8221;</p>
<p>Die mobile Welt der scheinbar unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten… &#8220;Videos auf dem Handy sind ein Thema der Zukunft&#8221;, sagt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Maciej_Kuszpa" target="_blank"><strong>Maciej Kuszpa</strong></a>. Und das gilt lange nicht mehr nur für Deutschland. In den nächsten Wochen startet <a href="http://www.peperoni.de" target="_blank">Peperoni</a> bei weiteren ausländischen Netzbetreibern. &#8220;Wir haben unseren Blick auch nach Osteuropa gerichtet“, sagt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus Ladwig</strong></a>, „auch in den USA ist man in Sachen mobiles Netz noch nicht so weit wie hier. Ein interessanter Markt.“</p>
<p>Dienstleistungen weltweit vom Standort Hagen. Wenn auch die Büroräume eng werden. &#8220;Wir suchen nach einer eigenen Immobilie oder wollen selber bauen&#8221;, sagt <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Marcus_Ladwig" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus Ladwig</strong></a>, &#8220;damit unsere Visionen auch in Zukunft Wirklichkeit werden…&#8221;</p>
