SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cozi,
the world?s leading family communications and organizational platform,
today announced that it has increased its membership base to 3 million
members and expanded its portfolio of strategic partnerships with the
addition of AOL, Working Mother, Intel, Punchbowl and FlyLady.
Additionally, the company released fully native applications for the
iPhone and Android smartphones.
?As 2010 comes to a close, we?re delighted with the continued growth of
Cozi?s membership base, partnerships, and product suite?
Cozi is a free mobile and online
calendar that helps busy families coordinate schedules and keep
track of to do and grocery
shopping lists. Since its founding in 2005, Cozi has become the
largest family communications platform in the world. Cozi?s growing
presence with busy families is evident in its rapidly expanding
membership base, which has grown 50% year over year during the
back-to-school season. That growth has been driven in part by Cozi?s
robust partnership program, which includes many leading brands, such as
MeadWestvaco, Gannett, Meredith Corporation, Nestle, General Mills,
Unilever, Dell, and others. Cozi?s co-branded solutions are customized
for each partner brand, and allow the partners to deliver a valuable
service to their own customers.
In the second half of 2010, Cozi has added partnerships with Working
Mother, AOL, Intel, Punchbowl and FlyLady, all of which will use its
comprehensive organizational platform to further extend their brands
into daily family life. Cozi worked with AOL?s MyDaily.com to create the
MyDaily Family Organizer which gives readers online access to their
daily calendar. For Working Mother, Cozi created a Family Control Center
that includes access to Cozi?s family calendar, shopping list, and
family journal. For Intel, Cozi developed Cozi Express, a version of the
organizational platform that is optimized for Intel?s netbooks. Cozi and
Punchbowl, a site that helps smart moms and savvy professionals plan a
party from start to finish, developed a Cozi cobranded version of the
party planner and integrated the Cozi calendar as an output option for
all Punchbowl events. For FlyLady, a mentoring program that has caught
on like wildfire among moms, Cozi released a cobranded version of its
platform allowing users to merge their FlyLady experience with Cozi?s
suite of tools.
?As an organization that champions work-life balance for
career-committed mothers, aligning with Cozi was a natural choice,? said
Helen Jonsen, Director of Digital Media for Working Mother Media and a
mom of 4. ?With the Working Mother Family Control Center, busy moms,
like me, are able to better communicate, coordinate and simplify their
day-to-day activities at any hour of the day or night. Cozi is truly the
central command center that families need, and its platform has been
highly effective in driving brand awareness and perpetuating brand
loyalty amongst our readers.?
In 2010, Cozi also launched a number of significant new features,
including a suite of mobile applications for families on the go. The
Cozi iPhone/iPod Touch and Android applications allow members to
effortlessly manage their family calendar, access shopping lists and
to-do lists, and jot down memories while on the go. The Cozi iPhone app
is available for $1.99 in the iTunes App Store and the Android
application for $1.99 in the Android Market.
?As 2010 comes to a close, we?re delighted with the continued growth of
Cozi?s membership base, partnerships, and product suite,? said Robbie
Cape, Co-Founder and CEO of Cozi. ?Our growth is a direct reflection on
our innovative platform for family communications. Cozi was designed
from the ground up for families, and everything we do is based on a deep
understanding of family needs. For partners such as AOL, Working Mother,
Intel, Punchbowl, and FlyLady, Cozi offers a new vehicle for staying
top-of-mind throughout the week. And our mobile service is yet another
great way for our members to keep up with the demands of busy family
life from wherever they happen to be.?
