Jamster and innerActive to Trial Mobile In-Game Advertising Service in UK


BERLIN, October 25 /PRNewswire/ --     Jamster, one of the world's leading providers of digital entertainment,
able to reach one in six consumers around the globe, and innerActive Smart
Media, a leading provider of innovative ad-funded entertainment channel, have
announced today a trial of a new Mobile In-Game Advertising service in the
UK.

This consumer based infotainment trial offers British cellular
subscribers the opportunity to download free mobile games from well known
games developers as well as for example the award winning game "Cubes" by
Ojom, a games developer owned by Jamster. The users will be exposed to truly
non-intrusive ads, which are dynamically embedded and changed within the
games. The mobile advertisements and promotion features are sponsored by top
international brands such as: Calvin Klein, Domino's Pizza, Fox,
SPIDER-MAN(TM) 3, Paramount Pictures, What's on TV, Pick Me Up, NME.COM, and
eBay

The mobile in-game advertisements are targeted and segmented in real time
according to users' behaviour and responses, generating valuable incentives
like wallpapers & movies trailers, and several prizes such as portable media
players or pizza vouchers.

Lee Fenton, COO of Jamster, sees this kind of advertisement as a new
source of revenues: "In our ever increasing efforts to strive to meet our
customers' needs for mobile entertainment content, this new offer enables
Jamster to target new usage groups. In a market where most consumers play
mobile games on their handset but only a small percentage actually download
them "over the air" and pay for them, in game advertising is a good way to
address "first time users" of mobile games."

"We are delighted to drive our ad-funded catalogue with the world leading
digital content distributor Jamster," said Offer Yehudai, VP Products and
Business Development at innerActive. "I strongly believe that this new
entertainment channel will create an enriched user experience, reaching a
vast and untapped audience, setting a new type of interactive dialog between
the advertisers and the consumers."

"The innerActive solution provides Jamster flexible capabilities for
dynamically delivering in-content and contextual multimedia advertisement,"
said Ziv Elul, VP Marketing and Strategic Alliances at innerActive. "By
offering our partners increased revenues, generated by ad-funded games - we
will enable them to enrich mobile users in the UK with more services and
value added benefits."

innerActive provides a smart media platform for delivery of promotions
and advertising in the space of rich content mobile media. The innerActive
solution provides relevant contextual and dynamic advertising for high impact
advertising campaigns, such as in-content placements, click to call, mobile
coupons and incentives.
