Zedge.net’s 12 Ringtones of Christmas Campaign Launches

NEWARK, N.J.--(EON:Enhanced Online News)--Zedge (www.zedge.net), the popular destination for user-generated mobile content, has partnered with more than 60 labels, artists and managers, including B-Real from Cypress Hill, DEVO, The Midnight Youth, Trin-I-Tee 5:7 and emerging artists such as Irving, This City Sunrise and Steriogram, for its 12 RINGTONES OF CHRISTMAS promotion. Much of the mobile content presented as part of 12 Ringtones is available only on Zedge and only through this campaign. The 12 Ringtones of Christmas campaign runs from December 14, 2007 to January 14, 2008.

“The 12 Ringtones of Christmas campaign is an example of how Zedge works with content owners to greatly increase the visibility of their artists while providing a fun way for Zedge users to ‘free their phones’ with the hottest, exclusive mobile music content”

To access, fans go to the http://www.zedge.net/christmas to discover featured artists and the entire roster of artists, with profiles and free mobile content from each of them. From there, fans can browse profiles, follow links to artist sites, and for those that want to download wallpapers, videos and ringtones, there are links on each page for all the content available from Zedge for that artist.

Along with their contributions, all artists created their very own profile page they can share with other users. The profiles feature their latest news, album drops, tour dates, biographies, and relevant links to their own sites.

“12 Ringtones of Christmas represents a new paradigm in the promotion and delivery of music and mobile content to both Zedge users and all fans of great music. By partnering with top managers, labels, and emerging artists, Zedge is bringing its 6.6 million users in 216 countries free ringtones, images and video—many of which are available on mobile for the first time and only through Zedge,” said Moshe Berger, head of Zedge Studios and CEO of its parent, IDT Internet Mobile Group (IIMG).
