Company claims Apple partnership, names Jony Ive head of mobile in bizarre SEO grab

File this one under WTF. Some company you’ve never heard of just released a press release claiming that Sir Jonathan Ive is about to head a “mobile development project with UNATION and Apercu” alongside his development team at Apple.

“Apercu has increased its commitment to UNATION’s product development by expanding its mobile development partnership with Apple,” says Apercu Global Managing Partner Alec Jain. “To have direct support from Jonathan Ive and his team ensures that

UNATION’s first mobile application will have a level of quality that will set the company apart in the social arena,” Jain added.  Apercu Global provides solutions in business advisory, information technology, marketing & sales and economic security. UNATION is a social media platform that focuses on comprehensive events and branding.

Either this is complete bullshit and a joke of some sort, or someone at the company got the idea that whatever collaboration it actually does have with Apple warrants naming Jony Ive its new head of mobile. Expect this to wind up on the homepage of the Apple blogs any second (except for 9to5Mac of course), and expect Apple to shoot it down shortly after.
