Alrighty… Due to popular demand, we’re bringing sexy err, “Dealmaker of the Month” back. Partly because giving props is fun, and partly because Dealmaker Media is all about connecting the most influential people and successful minds in business and technology to get deals done.

MAY 2009’s DEALMAKER OF THE MONTH: PETER PHAM, CEO, BILLSHRINK

Why is Peter this month’s big hitter? His LA-based startup BillShrink is a media darling – thanks to a fury of recent coverage, topped off by a fabulous (and likely costly) marketing campaign launched by T-mobile.

This weekend when I hopped out of a taxi, I noticed “BillShrink.com” on a glowing T-Mobile lightbox ad on the roof of the taxicab… I later heard radio ads, then saw a television ad featuring non-other than T-mobile spokesperson Catherine Zeta-Jones urging people to consider a “mobile makeover” by heading to BillShrink.

Kudos Peter!
