MMI Launches Female Health Service
Starting May 1 on Vodafone live!
Starting May 1st, MMI will offer SHAPE Mobile on
Vodafone UK, the first comprehensive fitness and health content service
in the UK targeted specifically to female mobile users. The service is
based on the leading female magazine title published in the UK by Dennis
Publishing.
SHAPE mobile will bring a wide variety of health, diet, and fitness tips
and information to UK mobiles, starting on the Vodafone network and then
branching out to other mobile networks in the UK.
Says MMI CEO Giles Richter, "The UK mobile market has been in bad
need of this type of content service. SHAPE will play a key role in providing
meaningful content to female users in the UK, and will help the mobile
operators provide rich mobile services targeted to the yet-underserved
female customer base."
