More than 300,000 postcards have been distributed through the caf�s and broadsheets, offering an instant ‘text to win’ for tickets to the film and entry in a draw for a 3-night break to The Hague to see the real ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring”. Jeremy Wright, co-founder of Enpocket, said:

“This campaign demonstrates the simple fact that the use of text as a response mechanism is as relevant when targeting older, higher-end audiences as it is with younger mass-market audiences. As the most recent Mobile Media Monitor (October 2003) from Enpocket Insight showed, more than 9 out of 10 mobile owners 25-44 are now active text users.”
