SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - December 11, 2007) - SendMe Mobile, the premier mobile media company, and Corbis (www.corbis.com [1]), a creative resource for advertising, marketing and media professionals, today announced that they are partnering to bring the red carpet to mobile phones users. A first-of-its-kind offering for consumers, the relationship will provide SendMeMobile.com members with access to images from the Corbis Entertainment collection.
SendMeMobile.com members now get exclusive front-row access to images shot by celebrity photographers -- from A-list stars at Hollywood's most high-profile events to emerging talent from top rated television shows and film. This collection of celebrity and artist photographs from major events is shot by celebrity photographers, including world-renowned Frank Trapper. Trapper, who just published his book "Red Carpet, 20 Years of Fame and Fashion," is the first photographer to be part of this new program. The broader Corbis mobile library will also be available through SendMeMobile.com with a wide range of premium made-for-mobile photos.
"We're always looking for new ways to extend the reach of our collection through new media to the important youth market," said Dave Reeder, vice president, Rights Services & Mobile, Corbis. "Personalization is the name of the game for mobile, and our imagery helps people create their own stories. SendMeMobile.com is a good fit for reaching this rapidly growing market of mobile users."
