NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - May 14, 2012) - Myxer, a top U.S. mobile destination for free, ad-supported social entertainment, announced today that its founder, Myk Willis, will participate as a key speaker at OMMA Social in New York on the benefits of Social Integration as the company celebrates its recent achievements. "It's an exciting time for digital entertainment, and a lot of that has to do with how social integration is enriching both the consumer and advertising experience. I'm looking forward to speaking about social entertainment at this great industry gathering," said Willis.
Named one of the best music apps in 2011 by RollingStone.com after launching in late November, Myxer Social Radio will surpass 1 Million installs this week. The app has caught the attention of both music lovers and brands as the internet radio service promotes social engagement and personalization by empowering users to create, listen and share music with their Facebook friends. Innovative social features such as music chat and Video Song Stories™ are just the beginning.
Reaching the 1 Million mark for Myxer Social Radio isn't the only milestone the company is celebrating. Myxer.com, the leading destination for free downloadable social entertainment content, recently surpassed 51 Million total users, downloading over 3 Billion content items to their mobile phones.
Through Myxer's scale and social engagement measures they have quietly claimed a pole position in the social entertainment space. Last week Myxer launched Artists Spotlight, a weekly show where independent artists stream their latest music and fans can interact with the artist in real time during the show through music chat.
Myk's OMMA session titled "Social Integration: Increased Effectiveness of Digital Campaigns," will help audience members understand and leverage the underlying social dynamics of today's mobile Web, based on his success and learning with Myxer Social Radio and Myxer.com. The session will be held at 8:15 AM on Tuesday, May 15th at 82MERCER (82 Mercer Street, New York, NY).
