Together, they journey the 400 kilometres from London to Liverpool (October 29th to November 6th), to be at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008!
For the biggest FanWalk in music history we searched for the toughest and craziest music fans in Europe. The lucky 100 were selected from 3000 die-hard applicants from all over Europe through a rigorous casting process in search of the most creative, passionate and dedicated music fans.
The road to Liverpool will be packed with adventure as we challenge the FanWalkers to prove why they are Europe’s biggest music fans. Watch them as they go through crazy hair-cuts, drastic make-overs and other exciting challenges to prove why they are Europe’s biggest music fans! One lucky FanWalker will also have the honour to get on stage at the MTV EMAs ’08 to hand over an award to one of the esteemed music acts – what could be a greater honour for a true music fan?

Sounds crazy doesn’t it, but you’ve got to give it to Sony Ericsson for innovative marketing campaigns – there is some serious advertising exposure going on there, and having been to previous events of theirs, I am sure it will be incredibly well-organised. Sony Ericsson rocks (literally) !!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
