LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - February 9, 2010) - David Lynch Foundation Television (DLF.TV),
the entertainment branch of the Academy Award-nominated director's peace
and education advocacy non-profit, today announced a partnership with
Mogreet -- a leader in mobile video marketing -- to bring DLF.TV's video
content into the mobile space. DLF.TV's first mobile video will be a
special music montage short, shot and directed by David Lynch, featuring
Afghan-American singer Ariana Delawari. The promo is premiering on DLF.TV,
in partnership with Flavorpill, on February 2nd, 2010. Shot in the
director's distinctive style, the short shows Delawari dressed in an array
of Old Hollywood costumes, singing snippets from a number of songs off of
her debut album, Lion of Panjshir, released by Lynch's own record label.
Cell phone users will be able to view the trailer by texting "LYNCH" to
647338.
As mobile messaging has become truly mainstream -- more messages are
sent/received every day than there are phone calls placed/received --
Mogreet takes texting to the next level, namely video. Mogreet's platform
is utilized by leading brands around the United States to communicate with
their customers. Most commonly used as a marketing tool by for-profit
businesses, the partnership with DLF.TV is Mogreet's first foray into the
non-profit space.
"We are always looking for ways to expand the reach of our video content,"
commented Heather Hartnett, Director of Communications, DLF.TV.
"Previously, that reach was limited by the bounds of the Internet, so we're
very excited to be going mobile with the Delawari video and reaching
interested viewers directly on their cell phones."
Mogreet's proprietary mobile video messaging platform is the first of its
kind in the US, and has the largest MMS footprint in the country. The
company can reach more than 200 million consumer's handsets, across all
major carriers.
"Mogreet's mobile video marketing has proven its ability as an effective
tool for for-profit businesses to reach their consumers directly, but there
is a huge potential for non-profits to utilize the service as well,"
commented Jay Goss, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Mogreet.
"We're very pleased to be partnering with DLF.TV on this first experiment
in non-profit mobile video delivery and we hope that it will lead to future
mobile video campaigns with DLF.TV and other non-profits."
