Quotes

We have worked closely with vouchercloud over the past few months to define a unique mobile advertising proposition. The execution will involve using engaging formats like interstitial and sponsorship packages on the App, and individual sections of the App, rather than serve more traditional static banner ad formats. More and more brands are realising the reach and targeting capabilities mobile advertising offers, and understand it needs to be treated completely differently to the online environment. It is essential to select engaging formats that compliment the device and provide a reason for the consumer to engage. This is exactly the type of application that we’ve been waiting for as a media industry.

Mark Slade, MD, 4th Screen Advertising

We chose to work with 4th Screen because they understood the sensitivities of introducing mobile advertising into the App. Also, because of their industry knowledge and expertise, they implicitly understood our proposition, our business model and strategy, the market we’re appealing to and how the App works. The Mobile advertising channel is delivering great results for brands utilising the channel and we already know that money off coupons and promotions increase footfall and sales in retail outlets, cinemas, cafes and such. For us, it’s all about introducing ad formats that deliver a better user experience and that add value.
