This campaign will be the largest CPG cross-carrier SMS mobile advertising campaign in United States' history.

ipsh! has a strong track record of implementations with Kellogg's Corn Pops (8 million boxes), Budweiser, Jose Cuervo, Diageo, Elizabeth Arden, and Dunkin Donuts.

Several confidential consumer brand deals will propel the ipsh! overall footprint on package SMS promotions to over 200 million consumer packaged goods sold in the United States in 2005.

Wake up search engines, there is a major shift coming. If a brand can get one-on-one interaction with a consumer, they won't need to spend as much with search engines advertising on the Internet.
