Eckoh selected to supply interactive services to Trinity Mirror    03/08/04 Print E-mail
Eckoh Technologies plc (“Eckoh”), one of Europe’s leading speech application service providers, today announced it has been appointed, with immediate effect, by Trinity Mirror, the UK's biggest newspaper publisher, as the primary partner to supply its interactive services in the UK.

As well as national newspapers such as the Daily Mirror, the Sunday Mirror and The People, Trinity Mirror also publishes some 240 regional and local titles.

Eckoh will provide a range of services to Trinity Mirror including competitions, votelines, games, dating and astrology using IVR, SMS, MMS and the Web. The services were previously operated by Arrow Interactive, Trinity Mirror’s in-house operation.


Martin Turner, Chief Executive Officer for Eckoh, commented: “UK newspapers are now increasingly using interactive services as a means of developing a deeper relationship with their customers and Trinity Mirror has been, and remains, one of the leaders in this fast developing technology.

"We will be working closely with Trinity Mirror to continue developing services which engage readers and grow revenues for the Group’s titles.”

Matt Brittin, Commercial Development Director for Trinity Mirror, said: “We have been reviewing the future of our interactive services for some time and saw an opportunity to enjoy improved services, more innovation and better returns by working with a small number of market-leading players.

"Eckoh are leaders in the field of interactive service development and have the capacity to handle the volume of traffic that a group like Trinity Mirror generates."
