Flirtomatic (who I’ve written about a number of times previously as being the UK’s leading mobile and online flirting service) today announced it is launching in Australia. Flirtomatic has launched its services through ninemsn, Australia’s leading online media company.
The agreement will see Flirtomatic initially launched on-deck with major carriers using existing ninemsn content relationships. Ninemsn, with the largest digital sales team in Australia, will also handle all advertising sales, whilst its 5th Finger subsidiary will handle SMS messaging. Flirtomatic’s launch in Australia is its third in the last year beyond the UK – they’ve also gone live in the US and Germany.
Mark Curtis, CEO of Flirtomatic said: “Obviously we’re delighted to be opening up in another new territory and to be approached by an online media giant such as ninemsn, is a great reassurance for us and the work we’ve done so far. We’re looking forward to seeing what kind of virtual gifts partners can come up with to satisfy the Australian market. We naturally want to go a little deeper than the stereotypical koala bears and hats with corks.”
Mark continued: “With the Ashes going to be decided in the next few days, it’s going to be very interesting to see the kind of banter going on between Brit and Aussie flirters”.
Clearly the Brits are going to ‘own’ the Ashes and show the Aussies how it’s done. Maybe. Ahem 😉
