MePlease operates a mobile marketing platform that lets businesses run voting, competitions, location check-ins, promotions and solicit customer feedback. The platform is largely powered by SMS so it works on any phone and can connect with any business from national brands to small businesses. The company powered interactive customer voting for PizzaExpress’s ‘Create Your Pizza Challenge’, which the article says saw over 48,000 entries; votes could be texted in from on-table displays and shared to Facebook. MePlease’s customer roster includes Cineworld, Jack Wills, Nimax Theatre Group, Ted Baker and a range of other retailers, venues and service providers. The company is led by CEO Steve Jarrett, a mobile veteran with 17+ years’ experience. Financially, MePlease recently completed a £1.3m seed financing from a group of named angel and strategic backers; the company was founded in May 2009.
