IHF appoints conVISUAL its exclusive Voice and SMS service provider for the Handball World Championship 2007

16 January 2007 - Oberhausen, Germany

IHF (International Handball Federation) makes conVISUAL, based in Oberhausen, Germany, its exclusive voice and mobile service provider for this year’s Handball World Championship, taking place from 19 January to 4 February, in Germany.

This co-operation offers sponsors a modern commercialisation platform for the optimal distribution of their message among the target group. Thus, conVISUAL’s interactive services, such as quizzes and votings, enhance the handball fan’s consciousness of both, the brand and the sporting event itself.

conVISUAL has already made experiences with World Championships. During the Football World Cup 2006 and Hockey World Cup 2006, conVISUAL actively involved visitors into the sporting event through SMS and voice sweepstakes, e. g. “Fan of the Day” with the German broadcasters ARD and ZDF, and interactive marketing campaigns for T-Mobile and other companies.
