BizziBiz International, Inc. Acquires BounceFire

BizziBiz International, Inc. announces the key acquisition of Internet marketing company BounceFire. BizziBiz is a digital marketing company that provides a unique solution by delivering custom digital marketing strategies to small and midsized companies.

Its new partner, BounceFire, is an agile Internet marketing company founded in 2007 in Bellevue, Ohio by entrepreneur Zach Ferres, the 2010 Global Student Entrepreneur Awards Regional Champion. Having worked with over 100 clients, such as Ohio Northern University and TechLife Ohio in Columbus, Ohio, BounceFire’s personal five-step strategic process is focused on delivering results, rather than selling features, to their clients.

“We looked at a number of companies that had been around longer than BounceFire,” notes Jim Piccolo, Founder of BizziBiz. “But experience is one thing and ability is another. The team’s unique, cutting-edge approach is changing the way digital marketing is done in America, putting digital marketing services within reach of all small and midsized businesses, and offering them a one-stop solution to compete in the digital age.”

The cash-equity deal aligns the two companies along a common goal of inspiring and empowering people and businesses to reach success through digital marketing.

“This is a great opportunity to take what we’ve built with BounceFire to the next level and beyond while maintaining our high standards of quality,” says Zach Ferres, BounceFire President and CEO. “Now, with the power of the BizziBiz network, we can empower a much greater number of entrepreneurs and businesses.”

Combining BounceFire's well-designed process, advanced systems and highly skilled team with the extensive talents, experience and franchise business model of BizziBiz, creates a force to be reckoned with in the digital marketing industry.

Hispanic-focused agencies spend surprisingly little on digital

Published July 11, 2011


Advertising agencies looking to reach Hispanic consumers spend little money on digital marketing, and they may be missing out on a powerful way to connect to this audience, according to MediaPost.

Citing research conducted by Advertising Age, MediaPost notes only 4.8 percent of Hispanic media spend went to digital marketing, the remainder being devoted to traditional channels such as television and radio. However, Hispanic consumers are growing increasingly engaged with web-based communication channels, such as Facebook and Twitter, and the source advises advertisers to shift their budgets to keep up.

"It’s clear there is some major inefficiency in how most Hispanic advertising is being executed and allocated by channel. Depending on your view of the situation, there is clearly a market opportunity for fresh thinking on the Hispanic ad agency side or for new business models in the media business," MediaPost urges.

Not all brands are neglecting newer internet platforms. For example, Kmart recently hired five popular Hispanic bloggers to write for the company and engage Spanish-speaking customers through Kmart's Facebook page.

Twitter is Go on Vodafone

Vodafone UK has signed an agreement with Twitter that will allow its customers to send updates to, and receive SMS notifications from, the messaging network of the moment.
As of today, Vodafone customers will be able to receive text messages from people they choose to follow via SMS on Twitter and send text messages to a dedicated Shortcode, 86444, for their ‘tweets, @replies, or to follow someone on the go. When receiving a text message from Twitter containing a URL, customers will be able to click on the link and access the webpage directly from their mobiles.
The SMS updates posted on Twitter will be free of charge for the first few weeks from launch; after that, they will be part of customers’ bundles. After the free period, regular charges will apply to customers without bundles, but all text message updates sent from Twitter will remain free of charge.
“We are delighted to be the only operator in the UK today to offer Twitter on SMS to our customers,” says Al Russell, Vodafone UK’s Head of Vodafone Internet services. “Since we made social networks on the move both simple to use and great value, customers have flocked to using these services, which have exploded in popularity.”
Twitter’s Director of Mobile Business Development, Kevin Thau, adds:
“Mobile texting extends the power of Twitter's real-time network in a simple but significant way. Twitter is the messaging network you didn't know you needed until you experience it over SMS.”
Vodafone says the new service is easy to use on any mobile device and offers fast mobile access to one of the most popular social networks in the world. Twitter joins a long list of social networks available through Vodafone live! since December 08.
Vodafone adds that since it began including mobile Internet access in its price plans, giving customers unlimited access to the mobile Internet, social networks have topped Vodafone’s popularity charts for the most visited sites on mobiles.
