Joanna Cox, General Manager of aimm sitting on a panel at World Telemedia Marbella October 2025

Joanna Cox, General Manager of aimm attended and spoke at this year’s World Telemedia in Marbella this October, and discussed how the UK is open for business with a new Regulator now in charge.

With Ofcom coming into power at the begging of 2025, heralding the biggest change to the UK Market in a decade, it has created a stable regulatory environment to grow business in the interactive and media industries.

Paul Skeldon from World Telemedia caught up with Joanna after the panel to get her thoughts.  ‘Stability is opportunity’ states Joanna in her interview, and those at World Telemedia were definitely interested in learning more about entering the UK market during the event. Learn how the UK interactive media and micropayments industry are using this fresh start to build and strengthen business. Doors are definitely open to those in the EU who may have been initially put off by the previously everchanging landscape, and interest is rapidly growing.

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”.
