TargetSpot Streams Ads in Mobile Radio Applications
Published on February 22, 2010 | Email this article
TargetSpot, the nation’s largest internet radio advertising network, has launched a mobile advertising platform, allowing marketers to serve audio ads to mobile applications on various smartphones.
Slacker Radio, a pure-play internet radio service, will use TargetSpot’s online advertising platform to make mobile ad inventory available to advertisers through Slacker’s mobile apps on iPhone, Android and BlackBerry smartphones. Other TargetSpot partners will be able to sell their mobile inventory via TargetSpot’s online ad platform, as well, the company says.
“Through our partnership with TargetSpot, we are able to offer consumers free music while building an attractive and sustainable advertising revenue stream through our mobile platform,” says Slacker CEO Jim Cady. Slacker has 13 million registered users.
Separate Revenue Stream for Radio Partners
Until now, the audio ads that ran in-stream on Slacker’s service - two to four of them an hour - were the same ad units that ran on its internet platform. The new capabilitiy creates two separate advertising streams, writes Mediaweek.
Other radio partners are likely to follow, and TargetSpot is in the midst of discussing options with charter advertisers.
