New York City skyline at dusk - November 2007

On a recent trip back East, I attended the ad:tech New York conference. The intent was to meet with various partners and generally get a sense as to where the online industry is, in terms of mobile advertising.

Much to my surprise, every single network that I spoke to wants to be in mobile-they just don’t know how.

Yes, there are a number of one-off, made-for-mobile ad companies out there now. But none of them have the capacity for large-scale distribution. Well, all except for us.

In getting these networks’ feedback, the reason they can’t do mobile is there hasn’t been a clear and effective path to enablement. The vast amount of their advertisers don’t have any capability to do mobile-specific campaigns. Why? They’re not sure how the technology works. They don’t know the nuances of the fractured device marketplace.

We’re about to launch our Mobile Publishing Network that will give all these online ad companies a way to easily start marketing to this space. Stay tuned for details in the next few weeks!
