ST. LOUIS, June 18, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
UPICKEM, a Second Street Media Solution, continues to build on its highly successful online contesting and promotions platform. The latest release of features includes deep social media integration with Facebook, as well as enhancements to the mobile contest experience.
"Pro football is the most popular sport in America and provides an excellent opportunity via online contests to drive revenue, page views and build your database of users," according to Matt Coen, CEO, Second Street Media. "With online users going social, mobile and essentially wanting to engage on their terms, we felt it essential to add a deep level of features that includes Facebook and mobile contest integration."
The UPICKEM Pro Football contest is a software-as-service private labeled contest platform. Customers can sell sponsorships and advertising or run the contest exclusive for their own brand. UPICKEM runs all the game information and stats, selects weekly winners and provides national weekly and overall contest prizes. This year's overall prize is a Trip for Two to Hawaii.
The Facebook integration will allow players to find and invite friends throughout the season. Additionally, Facebook users will get to see their friends' progress in the contest, post updates to their profile, and streamline their Facebook information with the UPICKEM platform.
