About Velti:




Velti was founded over 11 years ago to develop and execute highly 
interactive campaigns with subscribers for mobile operators. Long before
  mobile was a major force, our founders had a vision for changing how 
companies initiate, develop, and deliver advertising and marketing 
initiatives across the mobile channel.


More than a decade later, our focus and reach have expanded 
dramatically. The Velti team now has a global footprint in over 15 
countries, supporting Fortune 500 companies around the world in 
delivering innovative mobile advertising and marketing campaigns that 
reach their consumers and drive increased awareness, loyalty and 
engagement with their brand.
