PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwired) -- 05/21/13 -- Mobivity Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: MFON), an award-winning provider of proprietary mobile marketing technologies and solutions, announced that it has acquired the assets of Front Door Insights LLC, a provider of mobile marketing solutions that enable 25 plus Directory Publishers to deliver mobile marketing solutions to more than 5,000 local merchants across the United States.

Directory Publishers distribute local merchant information across multiple platforms such as print (i.e. "yellow pages"), Internet directories, search engines and mobile websites. With reach to millions of local merchants nationwide, Directory publishers can evolve from legacy print and online products and transition to new monetization strategies by licensing FDI's suite of mobile marketing services under their own brand. More than 25 independent Directory and Association of Directory Publisher (ADP) members currently license Front Door Insights' mobile marketing platform.

"The print directory space is in quick transition while continuing to serve long standing relationships with millions of local advertisers," said Dennis Becker, Chief Executive Officer of Mobivity. "FDI has staked out a leadership position in putting mobile marketing solutions at the epicenter of this transition. I'm extremely excited to couple FDI's market position in the Directory space with our patented technology in furthering our mission to become the leader in delivering mobile marketing products to the local advertiser industry."

With more than 5,000 local merchants licensing mobile marketing solutions through FDI's 25 Directory resellers, Mobivity's technology will now reach more than 11,700 local advertisers across the United States. Mobivity's intellectual property, economies of scale, and Stampt smartphone loyalty application are expected to drive increased value to FDI's products and services.

"We believe Mobivity's combination of technology, intellectual property, national brand relationships, and scale are huge assets in supporting the magnitude of customers the Directory publisher channel can yield," added Tom Tolbert, Chief Executive Officer of FDI. "Still a several billion dollar industry, serving millions of businesses, the Directory space offers broad reach to the local advertiser industry which we are much better equipped to support by combining with Mobivity. We are very excited to be a key part of Mobivity's mission to dominate the local mobile marketing space."

The terms of the transaction are more fully described by Mobivity in a report on Form 8-K to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
