MediaBuys Press Release


Mediabuys.us Partners With go2 To Offer Mobile/Wireless Advertising

For Immediate Release: November 14, 2002

November 14, 2002 - North Hollywood, CA -- Online media buying service, MediaBuys.us, today announced a strategic partnership with go2, the leading Mobile Yellow Page directory service in the United States.

Under the terms of the agreement, go2 will become the exclusive provider of all mobile and wireless-based advertising offers from MediaBuys.us. This translates into additional value for users of the MediaBuys service, who now have access to a centralized and effective channel for reaching mobile consumers, a rapidly growing market segment.

MediaBuys.us is a free, online, media buying service application designed to bring advertisers and media sources together to buy and sell advertising. The service is fast becoming a favorite among media buyers and publishers alike because of its unique volume-based calculation plan (the more members that buy for the same publication and the same publish date, the greater the percentage of discounts gained). For publishers, "it's a sure-fire way of gaining multiple insertions in this hard hit economic environment," stated Chick Ciccarelli, Mediabuys' founder.

MediaBuys.us was created by Chick, Inc., an ad agency specializing in advertising, public relations, communications and Internet solutions for companies primarily in the motion picture and television industry.

The go2 Mobile Yellow Page Directory helps users find, learn about, and visit local merchants when they are deciding where to go and are ready to buy. Through distribution agreements with major wireless carriers, go2's mobile yellow pages are available to millions of U.S. wireless subscribers using web-enabled devices. Over one million consumers each month access go2 from their cell phones, pagers and PDAs to find in-depth information about the products and services they're looking for, including directions, business hours, and special offers and promotions.

"The go2 Mobile Yellow Page Directory opens up a whole new realm of advertising possibilities for our media buyers," said Ciccarelli. "Advertising in wireless directories is key to capturing today's tech-savvy consumers and professionals. go2 is the recognized leader in the field, literally driving customers to businesses' doorsteps based on their proximity. We are very pleased with the role they'll be playing in our new online strategy."

"MediaBuys has the potential to become one of the more widely recognized media portals on the Internet," states Keith Geck, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for go2. "Once we viewed the Members area interface, we realized there was a very strategic fit with our product and service offerings. They have a dynamic, interactive and easy-to-use site, giving end users the ability to buy advertising in a cost-effective manner. Through our partnership, media buyers can now easily and efficiently reach the critical mobile market segment."

Focusing initially on the film, television and music industries, among the approximately 130 media sources already participating with MediaBuys are such industry staples as: Film & Video, The Hollywood Reporter, Shoot, Medialine, Millimeter, ABCnews.com, NYPost.com, Motion Picture Editors Guild, Post Magazine, Videography, Creative Industry Handbook, Billboard Musicians Guide, CreativePlanet Community, Digital Media Network, MVPA, and SiggraphNews.com.
