"We accomplish more in three hours at ShowStoppers Mobile World Congress than we can in a month of PR effort. The international coverage at this event gets the Speedify application included in the most well-read stories coming out of MWC. It is invaluable to be face-to-face with the media that can move our business ahead," said Alex Gizis, chief executive officer and co-founder, Connectify, the maker of Speedify.
"Vizmato has appeal to mobile video fans in many demographics all over the world. ShowStoppers at Mobile World Congress put us in front of those who inform, advise and influence the most prolific mobile users around the globe. We could not have made a better investment in our time at MWC," said Jason Foodman, president of Global Delight, creators of Vizmato.
"Akyumen Technologies had a great first showing at ShowStoppers, speaking with a variety of media outlets including CNET, PC Magazine, CNBC and others, about the company's latest technology for media, education and gaming," said Melissa Prestinario, public relations consultant for Akyumen. "Akyumen is particularly excited about debuting its new Holofone and the Falcon tablet."
"ShowStoppers was a great event for us to showcase our portable fuel cell charger, JAQ, to journalists from all over the world. JAQ is a brand new way of charging – completely independent from wall jacks and no last-minute stress because of low battery level - just insert a card, filled with water and salt, and your phone/tablet is set to go! Instant green energy at its best!" said My Ernevi, marketing manager, myFC.
"ShowStoppers had a great buzz to it with a lot of interesting demonstrations and fellow presenters. The venue was superb, relaxed but at the same time very busy. We engaged with over 70 journalists, signed up about 50 trials, and were able to do our demo dozens of times," said James Tagg, chief innovation officer, Truphone.
