In 3 years Buongiorno expanded its business in Latin America, by operating in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guatemala, Mexico and Argentina. Buongiorno recently consolidated its presence in Argentina and entered the Peruvian market with the acquisition of By-Cycle (Axis Mundi S.A.).

In H1 2007 Buongiorno opened its headquarters in San Paolo, Brazil, and it signed an agreement with TIM Brazil, the second mobile operator of the country (with 29 million clients), for the production and distribution of TIM Music Store.

Brazil is one of the most dynamic markets in the world with mobile ownership reaching nearly 110 million individuals, making it the 5th largest mobile population in the world.

Buongiorno is aiming at boosting its growth in Brazil leveraging the strong local synergies with Movilisto - iTouch which adds to Buongiorno's B2B business additional reach through connectivity with all 4 Brazil operators (TIM, Vivo, Hoy and Claro) and strong relations with Brazil's leading media groups.

In addition, Buongiorno is launching also its B2C offering with both Blinko and Movilisto, thus facing successfully the complexity of the Brazilian mobile market.

Buongiorno, after the acquisition of iTouch, becomes #1 global VAS provider.

"We're honored to receive this award, which recognizes our success in South America and for a product that requires high skills and know how to be produced and managed. Digital music stores are getting increasingly appreciated by a large audience of music and mobile phones' fans, and Buongiorno already successfully manages several Music Stores in the world, such as the one for TIM in Italy, for Turkcell in Turkey and for Vodafone Live in France", said Andrea Casalini, CEO of Buongiorno.
