Unified Mobile Solutions for iOS and Android Devices Now Available Across 15,000 Publishers
SAN FRANCISCO – Kontera continues its mission of delivering relevant information to users with the announcement of two new mobile offerings. The first solution is a related content product, and the second is a relevant ad offering for publishers and brand advertisers. The new solutions are powered by the Kontera Synapse Platform, and span the major mobile devices including mobile phones and tablets that run Apple’s iOS or Google’s Android operating systems. Kontera’s mobile solutions are already live across its more than 15,000 publishing partners.
“Kontera is using its science and real-time platform, for determining users’ interests and intent, as the foundation for a powerful mobile advertising play,” said John Hadl, CEO of Brand-in-Hand.
Kontera’s new mobile solutions use advanced semantic analysis combined with real-time web-trends and user context analysis to predict consumers’ interests. The new mobile solutions include both related information as well as highly targeted advertising:
Mobile Related Information – Related links are shown to users whenever they opt to learn more about a specific topic with which they are engaged. Multiple links to related content are returned by Kontera’s Synapse Platform, and the user is able to ‘swipe’ to see more information from across the web. Kontera’s informational links are cleanly and automatically embedded within the publishers’ content, to trigger delivery of specific information and topics that are most relevant to the user.
Mobile Ads – Ads with relevant offerings are displayed to the user, matching the interest and the intent determined by Kontera’s Synapse Platform. Publishers benefit from a clean advertising format that is unobtrusive, does not require additional “real estate” within an already small screen, and does not get pinched or zoomed off of the screen.
“Our users are fashion conscious and on the go, and Mobile is a strategic area for us in the coming year and for long-term monetization,” said Tobias Wright, Director of Digital Strategy at Budget Fashionista. “This seems to be a very elegant solution on the mobile platform that can only benefit our users. Kontera has proven itself to be a very forward-thinking partner that is always thinking several steps ahead.”
“We are extremely pleased to deliver a comprehensive suite of products across a wide range of mobile devices, which enables us to serve our customers in more ways,” said Yoav Shaham, CEO of Kontera. “We’ve built the core Kontera Synapse platform as a highly intelligent and scalable foundation. Today’s news shows how quickly we are able to apply this platform to address new market segments.”
