WORLD TELEMEDIA ANNOUNCES NEW 5* VENUE FOR OCTOBER ‘21 SHOW

Posted on by Andrea Putnam-Moorcroft

With the much-anticipated return of World Telemedia, Marbella (13-15 Oct) comes news that the organisers have secured a fabulous new 5-Star venue – Hotel Don Pepe Grand Melia.

“It was definitely time for a change of scene, so we’re absolutely delighted to now offer our attendees a chance to do business in one of the most exclusive beachfront hotels In Marbella – they deserve it!”.

Says organiser Jarvis Todd, who goes on:    

“Covid has forced us to reimagine the traditional event format and this new venue offers bright and airy networking and exhibition spaces that open directly to outdoor terraces, wonderful tropical gardens, poolside cabanas and of course a private beach!”

Having been forced to postpone in 2020, the show returns to its usual early autumn slot, and with two years pent up demand, early indications are that, despite concerns around Covid – the show already looks set to be a classic.

World Telemedia has long held a reputation for being the leading “in person” event for buyers & suppliers of mobile payments, marketing, messaging, advertising, content, apps, VAS and traffic etc. However, thanks to the recent launch of the Telemedia8point1, World Telemedia is now set to reach an even wider “online” audience from across the global mCommerce ecosystem.

“When face to face meeting opportunities were restricted by Covid, we developed our own bespoke virtual event – but with a big difference – it never closes! It was also been specifically designed to support, complement and enhance our live “in person” events and even now provides a 24/7/365 contact and information exchange for over 1,100 active subscribers!”.

Says organiser Jarvis Todd, who goes on:    

“Face to face time has never been more valuable, so Telemedia 8.1 takes care of what’s best done online (researching potential partners, making initial contact, watching PPT presentations etc) – allowing our delegates to make the most of every minute they’re physically at the show”.

€449 EARLY BIRD RATE (ENDS 1ST AUG)

Fonix’s carrier billing and messaging solution enables 5-day veggie challengers to discover new recipes and to receive text messages from Jamie.

Fonix, the tech company for acquiring, engaging and monetising consumers through their mobile phones, has been selected by Jamie Oliver to power the billing and messaging service for Jamie Oliver’s 5-day Veggie Challenge. Jamie’s 5-day Veggie Challenge starts today and challengers simply sign up and pay £2, which is charged to the mobile phone bill, without needing to enter credit card details.

During the challenge, an email will be sent every morning containing the day’s meat-free meals, along with extra tips and videos for a super-tasty day. Plus, through Fonix’s messaging platform, Jamie will be in touch throughout the week to share even more veggie inspiration.

Jamie’s colourful meal plan guarantees at least five portions of veg and fruit each day, plus a healthy balance of all the main food groups and nutrients.

Stephen George, Business Development Director, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting Jamie Oliver with this challenge. Everyone knows how important healthy diet and lifestyle are and technology should always seek to make these easier to achieve. By making payments for the 5-day Veggie Challenge as frictionless as possible, Jamie Oliver will be able to help more people to get better food into their diet.”

Linda Davidson, Director, Digital Product, Jamie Oliver added: “We’re very proud of this challenge, we want to inspire everyone and provide them with a great experience from start to finish.

“The 5-day Veggie Challenge is a great way to have a bit of fun and get healthy; making the payment process to access content easy, is just the cherry on top. With a payment mechanic as simple as this and with tips and recipes from Jamie throughout the week, there’s no excuse not to join in the challenge.’’
