Talking of ad-funded digital content, digital music company TuneTribe has announced a new partnership with mobile entertainment company 3rd Space which will see the two companies offer a new joint service for brands looking to engage consumers using music or other digital entertainment products via mobile platforms. One result of the alliance will be free-to-access ad-funded mobile content channels.

TuneTribe chief William Haighton told CMU: "We have been looking to team up with the appropriate mobile marketing company for some time and in 3rd Space we feel we have found the right partner. Their years of experience, their creativity, and their global presence made it an easy choice for us and we are very happy to add the 3rd Space offering to our existing online marketing and distribution portfolio.

3rd Space boss Warwick Hill added: "We look forward to working alongside one of UK's most respected digital entertainment companies. Helping TuneTribe build innovative music services that drive consumer engagement and revenues from mobile is very exciting. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship".
