BIRSTALL-based full service agency Fantastic Media has been shortlisted for three industry awards in recognition of its work.
Fantastic has reached the final of the Marketing On Mobile Awards in the travel/leisure/sports mobile category.
The awards, which are organised by marketing and media publication The Drum, identify the work being done in mobile and rewards those who are delivering effective strategies and campaign.
Fantastic Media has been shortlisted for its Pitchero app, a global club management network, which provides free websites and revenue tools for sports clubs across the world.
The network hosts about 4m unique users per month, with more than 10,000 live websites and over half a million registered users.
Since it was launched in January, the Pitchero app has received 80,000 downloads, and hosted more than 1.3m sessions.
It has been placed second in the iTunes free sports downloads category, second only to BBC sport, but surpassing giants such as Sky, ESPN and Ladbrokes.
It has been activated in over 60 countries, and increased registration with the Pitchero network by more than 18%.
Fantastic Media has also reached the final of the inaugural Prolific North Marketing Awards in the “Low Budget Campaign” category for its work on national fruit snack brand, Fruitypot, based at Bradley.
Fantastic has been recognised for an integrated campaign it put together which has increased brand awareness and increased customer loyalty and repeat purchase.
Fantastic has also received a nomination for Pitchero in the ‘App of the Year’ category in the inaugural Prolific North Awards, which rewards excellence in the creative and media industries across the North.
The MOMA awards will be held on June 13 at the Emirates Stadium, London, while the Prolific North Marketing awards ceremony will take place on July 3 at The Point, Lancashire County Cricket Club.
