Georgetown
University has selected
Distributive Networks to launch a
mobile marketing campaign to
promote Wednesday's Open Practice
session in Washington, D.C. for
the 2008 Men's Division I NCAA
Basketball
Championship.
Fans
can simply text the word NCAA to
37686 to receive information,
updates and reminders via text
message about the Open Practice
session that the NCAA is
conducting and Georgetown is
hosting at the Verizon Center on
Wednesday, March 19 from 11:00am
to 7:30pm. Admission to the Open
Practice is free and advance
tickets are not
required.
The
Open Practice showcases the eight
teams that will compete in the
first and second rounds of the
2008 Men's Division I NCAA
Basketball Championship, which
will be hosted by Georgetown at
the Verizon Center on Thursday,
March 20 and Saturday, March
22.
Washington
D.C.-based Distributive Networks
is providing the platform that
enables Georgetown University to
communicate with tournament fans
via text message, providing them
with timely updates - wherever
they are - about the teams
selected for the first round,
details about the Open Practice
session and more. There is no fee
for the service; only
participants' standard wireless
carrier text message rates apply.
Georgetown has been publicizing
the mobile campaign during
Washington Wizards games at the
Verizon Center and in
publications like the Washington
Post Express.
Distributive
Networks CEO Kevin Bertram
states, "We are thrilled to be
able to support Georgetown
University and to feed fans'
insatiable appetite for
information about the NCAA
Tournament. Georgetown's mobile
campaign is a simple yet powerful
way to keep fans informed about
events like Wednesday's free Open
Practice, and we look forward to
seeing great response to the
campaign."
