Myxer, the leader in
ad-supported mobile content, today launched "Red Carpet," an online and
mobile marketing program designed to give entertainment studios, musicians
and marketing agencies the ability to add high impact advertising
opportunities to product launches. The first fully integrated web-to-mobile
program was unveiled today with The CW Network to launch their highly
anticipated new TV series, "90210" (a contemporary spin-off of the '90s hit
show "Beverly Hills, 90210").

Myxer's "Red Carpet" program enables marketers to take their
advertising campaigns to a whole new level -- spanning web-to-mobile. Myxer
offers advertisers three important elements:

-- Custom mobile content downloads (ringtones, videos, images)
delivered by Myxer's hosted mobile content platform

-- Exposure to Myxer's online community of over 12 million
highly-engaged users (primarily 15 - to - 28 year-olds)

-- A set of customized widgets that enable viral distribution of their
mobile content on any web site or social media property

For The CW's "90210" series launch, Myxer worked with OMD -- Los
Angeles to create an integrated campaign that starts online with a complete
brand takeover of Myxer's homepage -- giving the CW a "virtual billboard"
to promote their show to Myxer's vast audience -- as well as display
advertising and top feature status. The campaign is taken mobile via SMS
text ads, WAP banner ads and mobile content including free ringtones and
wallpapers. Starting today, visitors can check out http://www.myxer.com to
see the current promotion with The CW.

"The magic of Myxer is in the strength of our community and the
simplicity of our technology," said Myk Wilis, CEO of Myxer. "These
elements make Myxer the venue of choice for the launch of new movies, TV
shows, albums, and DVDs. We're proud to have The CW using Myxer to reach a
large number of fans across the web AND give them branded content they can
take with them on the go!"

"To promote The CW's new Fall season, our top priority is to reach our
media savvy young adult viewers on every platform available in a way that
is impactful and relevant to them," said Rick Haskins, Executive Vice
President, Marketing, The CW. "Myxer's integrated web-to-mobile solution
allows us to easily get our marketing messages in front of their more than
12 million users as well as drive visitors to cwtv.com."

In recent months, Myxer has worked with dozens of high-visibility
advertisers to incorporate elements of their web-to-mobile platform into
their overall campaigns, including McDonalds, NBC, Universal Pictures, U.S.
Army, Warner Home Entertainment and blues musician prodigy Joe Bonamassa
(Billboard's #1 Blues artist). Additional program elements include
customizable mobile web sites as well as write-ups in Myxer's recently
launched Youth Culture MINE blog http://mine.myxer.com.
