UrbMob is an exciting next generation mobile music community that allows aspiring artists to rise from obscurity to stardom on the web utilizing mobile phone subscriptions.
Think American Idol, but web and ringtone focused. The business is free to artist and fans except for mobile delivery which has a $3.99 monthly mobile carrier billed subscription (“mobile shipping and handling”) for unlimited content delivery to a mobile device.
Sitting next to Talent Rank is UrbMob Records - an "aspirational" record label whose promise of recording contracts should drive artists to create profiles on the website. UrbMob Records will SIGN the most successful artists on the site to traditional recording contracts - the marketing buzz associated with the artist's rise to the top of Talent Rank should assure an audience for that artist's music, and mitigate the current risks associated with breaking artists in the digital world.
UrbMob is a the flagship brand of mBeat Media, Inc. (“mBeat”). mBeat’s platform provides premium SMS mobile content aggregation and distribution (ringtones and wallpaper) services and content, primarily focused on the urban market and through the leadership of its experienced management team has served one million plus subscribers, using direct-to-consumer advertising via prominent African-American targeted publications and television stations. It is the extensive experience in urban marketing and subscriber acquisition that provides UrbMob with a competitive advantage as it enters the music industry.
Urbmob is not just a website; it's a social networking community like Myspace, a ringtone distributor like AT&T, and a record label (Urbmob Records) that can launch your career and take it to the next level. We don't discriminate between the web, the mobile phone, or traditional media; we embrace all forms of content distribution in all media.
