REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - November 20, 2008) - Amobee Media Systems, the world leader in
advertising solutions for mobile operators, has been selected by Israel's
leading publisher Globes and Ernst & Young Israel as the most promising
start-up of 2008/2009. This prestigious award was announced at the 12th
Annual Journey Conference. Globes, which publishes the annual high-tech
magazine Blogs, picked ten promising start-ups as finalists and the ten
entrepreneurs whose influence is expected to continue through 2009.
The 12th Annual Conference for Venture Capitalists and Entrepreneurs of
Emerging Growth Companies, also known as the Journey, was attended by more
than 2,000 industry leaders. The Journey serves as a meeting place for
leaders of the high-tech, healthcare and venture capital industries in
Israel. Amobee Media Systems was selected as the leading start-up in Israel
among all categories and industries.
Bruce Golden, one of Amobee's lead investors and a partner at Accel
Partners, said, "We believe that the iPhone, and other similar class
devices, will trigger an explosion in demand for mobile content. Mobile
operators have a gigantic opportunity to capitalize on this growing demand
for rich media content, but they need a way to monetize it. Amobee provides
that crucial monetization capability, which is why it is considered
strategic to the mobile operators."
"I am incredibly pleased to receive this coveted award," said Zohar
Levkovitz, CEO and Co-Founder of Amobee Media Systems. "It is a true
testament to the drive and focus of our team over the last two years. I
would like to thank Globes and Ernst & Young for this award, and, more
importantly, the Amobee team, which has been delivering on our commitment
to create a new ad-based mobile ecosystem."
