                            Mobile Marketing Efforts


HipCricket Inc., ("HipCricket" or the "Company", AIM: HIP), a pioneering mobile
marketing company that creates measurable, real-time, one-to-one relationships
between broadcasters, advertisers and their customers and prospects, today
announced that The Jim Rome Show is employing the company's services to further
engage its more than two million weekly listeners across a national network of
more than 200 radio stations.

As host of one of the nation's premiere sports radio talk shows, Rome is known
for his aggressive, informed, rapid-fire dialogue. He has established himself as
a top choice of athletes and fans when it is time to know what is going on
beyond the scoreboard.

The Jim Rome Show is one of Premiere Radio's most-listened-to talk radio shows,
with affiliations in top ten markets including: New York City, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Dallas, Washington D.C., and Houston.

Beginning this month, Rome's "Clones" are able to use their mobile phones to
participate in the "Huge Text of the Day," polls, enter additional contests and
keep abreast of programming.

"As listeners evolve, it's essential that we grow with them," said Rome. "The
'Clones' rely heavily on their mobile devices to stay in touch with sports and
to participate with the sports world. This initiative taps into their behaviors
and interests and is a natural extension of the program."

"Jim Rome has one of the most loyal audiences in radio," said HipCricket CEO
Ivan Braiker. "More than 136 million Americans text on a regular basis. Enabling
Jim's listeners to participate with the show via the mobile device will deepen
the relationship."

Last year, HipCricket announced partnerships with 11 major broadcast groups in
the top 50 U.S. markets. As a pioneer, HipCricket has implemented over 16,000
successful, turnkey campaigns with radio and TV stations and brands.
