BREAKING: PhindMe acquired by Movitas

This time, they tell us it has really happened.
PhindMe Mobile, the mobile Web direct-to-consumer advertising company based at Drexel University’s Baiada Center for Entrepreneurship, has been purchased by Collegeville-based Motivas Mobile for an undisclosed sum, according to a message sent to Technically Philly by the company’s chief operating officer Doug Bellenger.
This announcement comes fives days after a draft of the announcement was published on PhindMe’s corporate blog accidentally, Bellenger telling us then “this has not happened.” The message was quickly taken down, but Technically Philly and Philly Tech News spotted it.
Motivas specializes in mobile marketing for the hospitality industry, according to today’s announcement on the PhindMe blog. According to the post, “PhindMe has already begun deployments of its products within the Movitas customer base of hotels and resort properties,” including its recently release Everywhereigo.
