VAN NUYS, Calif. – On the heels of being recognized as the Mobile Company of the Year at the 2011 XBIZ Awards, Pink Visual has now been feted with a similar honor from a ‘mainstream’ source: the company has received the 2011 Future Mobile Award for Mobile Adult, as announced at the Mobile World Congress www.mobileworldcongress.com/ conference in Barcelona Monday.

As described by global research and analysis firm Juniper Research,, the Future Mobile Awards “are given to companies that have made a significant contribution to their sector and are poised to make considerable market impact in the future.” Windsor Holden, Principal Analyst for Juniper Research and Future Mobile Award panel judge, said that Pink Visual fits that description perfectly.

“For several years, Pink Visual has been at the forefront of the provision of adult services across a variety of channels, including mobile,” Holden said.

“It has been one of the sector’s great innovators. It is also the first adult service provider to engage with augmented reality. Pink Visual fully deserves its success.”

Pink Visual President Allison Vivas [pictured], who was named Woman of the Year at last week’s XBIZ Awards, said that receiving the Future Mobile award is “especially gratifying, considering how much effort our company has put into its mobile operations over the last few years.”

“Receiving the Future Mobile award is another indication that we’re on the right track in the mobile sector,” Vivas said.

“When you look down the list of 2011 award winners in the other business sectors this year and see names like Spotify, EA Mobile, Qualcomm, eBay and Wells Fargo, you can’t help but feel like you’re in pretty darn good company.”

The Mobile World Congress began Monday and runs through February 17. For more information, visit www.mobileworldcongress.com
