"With the introduction of mobile advertising, MTVN creates an entirely new revenue stream, as well as a new way to fuel further content innovation and growth on mobile," said Dauman. "I’m thrilled that MTVN is taking this step toward fully unlocking the value of its mobile portfolio with strong, credible, and widely recognized brands like Pepsi and Intel."

"MTVN is a made-for-mobile company, powered by our knack for creating fresh and irreverent content that translates to the ‘third screen,’ and makes a lasting connection with audiences," said Judy McGrath, Chairman and CEO, MTVN. "Our strategy is to provide our audiences with compelling entertainment experiences, and by introducing mobile advertising, we’re offering our advertisers a closer connection with our audiences across platforms."

"As we continue to evolve our advertising, we see this as a great opportunity to reach our on-the-go consumers in an engaging environment," said Cie Nicholson, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Pepsi-Cola North America. "We look forward to collaborating with our partners at MTVN on this exciting new project."

"We believe consumers should enjoy entertainment when and where they want it – on their desktop or notebook PC, on TV through a media center PC or on their mobile phone," said Heather Dixon, America’s digital home and mobility marketing manager, Intel Corp. "Intel has a long-standing relationship with MTV Networks and we will continue to work closely to bring high-quality shows and content to PC’s based on the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor, as well as devices like the mobile phone."
