Define My Style Launches DMS 2 Go - a Mobile Style Stream for Teens

Teens + Social<3 mobile

CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- (http://www.definemystyle.com) -- Define My Style, a leading online, style-centric community for girls 13-19, today announced the availability of "DMS 2 Go" an iPhone app and the newest tool in the DMS Studio(TM). As a nimble startup, Define My Style collaborated with West Monroe Partners, a Chicago based full service management consulting firm, to design, develop and launch this new app in just four weeks.

Teen DMS community members use online tools to create thousands of unique handbag designs, personal logos and virtual stores. With more than a hundred designs created each day, a dynamic and rich stream of activity can flood by members between logins.  This new iPhone app, DMS 2 Go, allows members to browse and comment on the latest community activity; feeding both the friend and fashion fetishes of DMS designers. Teen influencers are juggling school, clubs, family, social interests, sports and much more.  The challenge for this first release was to inject a creative escape; something fresh and fun that fits into a 3 minute break during their incredibly demanding schedules.

"We are thrilled to launch our first mobile app and the collaboration on this project was incredibly satisfying," says Kristine Sturgeon, Founder & CEO of Define My Style. "Everyone has an opinion about mobile, but we wanted to prioritize feedback from our DMS members. These girls spend thousands of hours on mobile devices; they are the experts and we wanted to hear their opinions.  We are proud that the DMS community helped define the requirements.  We were able to bring these inputs to West Monroe Partners, complete rapid brainstorming and mockups then quickly transition to working prototypes and launch within a few weeks. Our target audience is creative and connected, if we want to catch their attention, we can't miss mobile."

"This project had a tight timeline while being the first piece of a bigger vision for the DMS Member engagement model," states Gregory Layok, Director of West Monroe Partners' Technology Integration Practice.  "We've sketched out a number of additional ideas to carry the strategy forward, but identified the most tangible pieces to deliver value to the market quickly. This is an approach to project management we are working with clients on across multiple industries as a response to the increasing need to improve the customer experience. Many organizations we are working with are focused on more intimate relationships with their customers.  The mobile experience must feel simple and consistent with other communication channels, regardless of the complexity of security and integration requirements behind the scenes.  We look forward to furthering an ongoing relationship with Define My Style as their business continues to grow."
