Top 50 media company falls into administration

A FIRM only recently acknowledged as being in the UK Top 50 media companies, Empower Interactive, has fallen into administration.

The administrators, Grant Thornton, are seeking purchasers for the company assets including ongoing projects. One of Empower's major contracts is with France Telecom/Orange where it is helping the network operator to develop its Mobile Data Services Architecture.

Back in June, Empower Interactive was awarded a place in the Media Momentum Top 50 list after it had experienced 280 per cent revenue growth between 2002 and 2004.

Founded back in 1999, Empower was one of the first to offer a WAP gateway and later moved into the MMS (picture messaging) arena.
